The facts that matter here
About this property
A 2-bedroom, 2-bath home on 720 m² in Ojochal, 100 ft above sea level, with a private pool. Playa Ventanas is 10 minutes away by car. Uvita is 15 minutes away and Dominical 30. It has legal water, grid power and regular-car access, and at $275,000 it’s priced below 90 of the 100 other homes for sale in Ojochal.
The Community
Calle Buganvillea sits right in the heart of Ojochal, one of the Southern Pacific’s most celebrated small towns and a genuine gem of the Southern Zone of Costa Rica. You are walking distance from the international restaurants, grocery options, and expat-friendly services that make this community so livable. The neighborhood blends long-term locals and international residents in a way that feels genuinely welcoming rather than transactional. At this price point and location, the home makes as much sense as a full-time residence as it does a part-time retreat with income potential, which is exactly how the current owners have used it.
The Grounds
The 720 m2 fenced and gated lot gives you a private jungle atmosphere while remaining entirely on two-wheel drive accessible road right in town. Mature landscaping and fruit trees create the sense of seclusion, while the surroundings remind you every morning that you are living inside a natural corridor. Toucans work through the canopy with regularity, and scarlet macaws make appearances that never really get old. There is also meaningful space on the property to build a cabina, which opens up a genuine income or guest-hosting opportunity that few in-town lots at this price can offer.
The Home
The two-story concrete block and stucco construction sits on a utility grid connection through ICE and draws from a legal Ojochal ASADA water source, with a septic system handling wastewater. Fiber and cable internet are available, which matters if you plan to work remotely or host guests who do. The interior is tile throughout, practical and cool underfoot in the tropical heat. Air conditioning serves both bedrooms, and the full appliance package including washer and dryer means you arrive and settle in rather than outfit from scratch. The open-plan kitchen, which was just remodeled, flows directly into the living area and then out to the outdoor dining space, anchored by a large island that becomes the natural gathering point during any meal.
Outdoor Living
The big private pool is the heart of the outdoor experience here, and the covered section gives you a shaded retreat during the midday heat so you can actually use it all day rather than just in the early morning or evening. The oversized balcony above captures mountain views that stretch out in a way that earns the word sweeping, a coffee-in-hand moment every single morning. A front porch and patio terrace round out the outdoor spaces, and the shaded terraza with those mountain views is the kind of spot that makes you cancel your afternoon plans without regret.
The Area
Ojochal delivers the combination that draws people to the Southern Zone of Costa Rica in the first place. You have a functioning town with real services, a tight community that actually knows your name, and wilderness access that puts you near some of the best coastline and rainforest the Pacific side offers. Dominical is roughly 20 minutes north for surf and beach amenities, and the regional hub of Uvita sits about 15 minutes away.
Reach out today and let’s walk this property together so you can feel the scale of that balcony and hear what the canopy sounds like at sunrise.
