About this property

Located in the highly desirable community of San Josecito, just minutes from Uvita and with fully paved access, this stunning 2-acre property offers the perfect blend of ocean views, lush rainforest surroundings, and convenience.

Completed in 2023, the home is thoughtfully designed with modern comfort and tropical living in mind. On the second floor, you’ll find two spacious bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, ceiling fan, and A/C. Both enjoy impressive ocean views, including Cano Island and a partial view of the famous Whale’s Tail. The master suite also features a walk-in closet and a large private balcony to soak in the scenery.

The main floor welcomes you with an open-concept layout, where the kitchen, dining, and living areas seamlessly connect to the covered terrace. The kitchen is finished with beautiful hardwood teak cabinets and quartz countertops, perfect for both everyday living and entertaining. Just a few steps down, the pool area invites you to relax while enjoying the sights and sounds of the surrounding jungle and creek. A half bath, laundry room, storage area, and ample parking complete the main level.

What makes this property truly special is the vibrant rainforest setting, where monkeys, toucans, and other wildlife are frequent visitors. You can hear the creek at the bottom of the property and enjoy the natural harmony of the jungle while being only minutes away from town and the beach.

Additional features include:

  • Room to expand or build a guest house elsewhere on the property
  • Space underneath the home for future build-out thanks to its stilted design
  • Ocean and jungle views from multiple vantage points
  • 2 acres of land and easy 2WD access

This property is ideal as a full-time residence, vacation home, or rental investment—where ocean views meet the magic of the rainforest.
