About this property

TWO Baru homes, draped in spectacular & serene mountain jungle surrounds, resting on a huge 3.53-acre lot for further development – with a mere 7 minutes separating you from the surf & beach vibes of Dominical!

Local buyers often have a choice: a serene mountainside escape in the permaculture belt of Costa Rica or a more traditional setting with shops, businesses, highways and touristy buzz. But what if I told you that you can cave BOTH, with a BONUS of spectacular mountain & jungle vistas PLUS the amazing Nauyaca waterfall just a short hop away (this waterfall & her swim holes are one of the most known local tourist attractions). AND let’s not forget the exiting development opportunities scattered around this large lot!

THE PROPERTY

The land sits along a ridge with both homes elevated above the valley and the towering mountains on the opposite side. Rainforests extend in all directions – the monkeys, toucans, sloths, blue morpho butterflies, tree frogs and many other creatures will be your new neighbors! The mountain breezes are near constant companions, blessing with their cooling and refreshing effects. Easy access from the main highway running between Dominical and San Isidro plus a carport & garage ensure that travelling to-and-from the property is always  dry and convenient.

MAIN HOME

This large home has a studio apartment, 3 bedrooms, and 3 bathrooms. Outside, a large parking area and a garage make for easy & protected access while a nearby picnic gazebo complete with seats and a table will provide countless hours of tropical relaxation – rain or shine. The fully equipped kitchen shares the central area with the breakfast island and  lounge – with jungle & mountain views delighting outside every window. This space opens into the large covered backyard patio – with absolutely spectacular vistas. The patio includes additional seating, a second dining area and a BBQ. Two of the three bedrooms open directly onto this patio, where panoramas, wind chimes, potter plants and bulb lighting set the perfect mood of relaxation. An additional studio apartment makes this home a truly flexible space.

GUEST HOUSE

With two rooms, a bath and a huge patio, high ceilings and a multi-vehicle carport, the guest home is really a second house and can be used as such. It provides a very open, light and airy space with lumber outfits & trims, roof windows and plenty of natural light. A large verandah, safe under the beautiful overhanging lumber roof, will be the perfect place to sit and enjoy the views and jungle symphonies.

DEVELOPMENT OPTIONS

The large cleared hillside, below the main home, is begging for development – a prime plot, it would EXCEL as a tropical orchard full of exotic fruits in all tastes and colors. Another option is to transform this area into a tropical parkland with walkways, lights, and sitting areas scattered around the sloping terrain.

Additional flat areas can be developed to hold cabins or  structures. The land around the guest home can easily hold several new cabins, a home or a large new swimming pool. Or how about a yoga deck, tropical garden, or an organic food greenhouse? The possibilities here are endless!

THE LOCAL AREA

The local area is rich in shops, services and amenities. Just 7 minutes away is Dominical, a global surfing mecca – here you will find a plethora of additional conveniences and entertainment. In the other direction, the large service center of San Isidro sits just over 30 minutes away – the drive to this city is nothing short of spectacular as you ascend and descend an often cloud-draped mountain range, with breath-taking views stretching in all directions. San Isidro is a popular shopping destination as it holds a number of big-box stores and supermarkets not to mention hospitals, clinics, and major car service centers and dealerships.

The surrounding area and towns are teeming with permaculture, spirituality and alternate lifestyles. The weekly Tinamastes Farmers Market is an attraction in itself, full of organic produce and beautiful & high quality local art & craft. This area is Costa Rica’s top destination for those who are looking for a more laid-back existence and a way of life that is more traditional and connected.

Natural attractions are all around you – as mentioned, the Nauyaca waterfall is au unmissable Instagram stop. And just minutes away is Dominical with her natural beaches and surfing options. Here you will also find cafes, shops, surf schools, restaurants, and a huge, buzzing beach market.

Costa Rica’s top attraction, Manuel Antonio National Park, as well as Uvita’s Marino Ballena National Park are a short hop away. Marino Ballena is one of the world’s top whale-watching, sport fishing & SCUBA destinations. And all around, eco and adrenaline activities are on offer. You will NEVER be bored here!

If you dream in living a peaceful life surrounded by communities of artisans and organic farmers while making quick beach or shopping getaways – this is the PERFECT property! With two homes and plenty of land for all kinds of development, you can transform this slice of eco-paradise into anything you desire. The location, views, and options are calling your name – get in touch with RE/MAX today!
