About this property

Some homes simply offer a place to live. Others invite you to embrace an entirely different way of life.

Nestled on over an acre of beautifully landscaped tropical grounds, where a year-round river meanders through the property and lush rainforest surrounds you, this residence is a private sanctuary designed for those who value tranquility, flexibility, and an authentic connection to nature.

From the moment you arrive, the soothing sound of the flowing river and the vibrant sights and sounds of the rainforest create an atmosphere of complete serenity. The property’s riverfront setting serves as a natural wildlife corridor, attracting white-faced monkeys, scarlet macaws, toucans, sloths, and countless tropical birds, offering an ever-changing backdrop that makes every day feel extraordinary.

Thoughtfully designed with both comfort and privacy in mind, each of the home’s three spacious bedroom suites features its own private ensuite bathroom, allowing family members and guests to enjoy their own peaceful retreat. Whether you’re hosting extended family, welcoming friends from overseas, or accommodating older children who appreciate their independence, everyone enjoys the luxury of personal space while remaining connected to the heart of the home.

The spacious primary suite is a true retreat, complete with a generous walk-in closet and a beautifully appointed ensuite bath, creating a peaceful haven at the end of each day.

One of this property’s most compelling features is its exceptional versatility. Zoned for both residential and commercial use, it presents exciting opportunities for buyers seeking more than just a home. Envision a private wellness practice, massage or spa studio, yoga space, artist’s atelier, boutique consulting office, or an inspiring work-from-home environment where your clients are welcomed by the sights and sounds of the rainforest. Whether entertaining guests, enjoying a quiet afternoon with a book, or simply listening to the rhythm of nature, this property encourages a slower, more intentional pace of life.

Beyond the home, the beautifully landscaped grounds invite exploration, relaxation, and endless opportunities to immerse yourself in Costa Rica’s remarkable biodiversity. Mature tropical landscaping, abundant wildlife, and the year-round river combine to create a setting that feels both secluded and alive.

Despite its peaceful rainforest setting, the property is just minutes from downtown Ojochal—one of Costa Rica’s most sought-after communities on the Southern Pacific Coast. Renowned for its exceptional international dining scene, charming cafés, artisanal bakeries, and welcoming atmosphere, Ojochal offers an unmatched blend of natural beauty and modern convenience. Nearby you’ll discover pristine beaches, waterfalls, hiking trails, pickleball, tennis, fitness facilities, boutique grocery stores, live music, farmers’ markets, and the world-famous marine adventures of Marino Ballena National Park, including whale watching, snorkeling, and sport fishing. Healthcare services, private schools, and everyday amenities are all within easy reach, making this an ideal location for both full-time living and seasonal escapes.

Whether you’re searching for a private rainforest sanctuary, a flexible family home, or a unique property where lifestyle and opportunity come together, this remarkable residence offers a rare chance to experience the very best of Costa Rica living.
