Ocean, jungle, mountain & mangrove views from a 2-home jungle property (and a separate lot!) complete with lush rainforests, a mountain river, swim holes and a waterfall! This large 6.5-acre property holds a spacious, bright & airy house with billion-dollar views, a large jungle-immersed timber cabin, rainforest-covered slopes and, best of all, a mountain river complete with chill-out pools, cascades and a waterfall! While the nature immersion is total, the services and amenities of Tres Rios, Cortes, and Ojochal are mere MINUTES away! But when you are here, modern civilization might as well not exist – because the jungle touches the house and your neighbors are the monkeys, sloths, toucans, macaws, blue morpho butterflies, colorful poison dart frogs, oropendolas and all other creatures that Costa Rica is famous for! ACCESS & PROPERTY The property is accessed via a prepared and well-maintained public road. A large car-park, adjacent to the house, can hold several vehicles. High hedging provides the lower house floor with full privacy while a sprawling flat lawn, opposite the car-park, can be used for playing, entertaining, BBQing, tending a bonfire, or relaxation. A prepared step-stone path leads towards the jungle-clad interior of the property – first stop is the large timber cabin with the final destination finding you at the magical rainforest river. MAIN HOUSE The house is entered via the top floor (via the car-park) or the bottom floor (via the front gate). The top floor holds an open-concept kitchen and living area including a breakfast bar, as well as a bathroom. The kitchen is large, spacious, and fully equipped while the living area lazily sprawls over most of the floor-space. Beautiful, soaring timber vault ceilings & skylight elevate and animate the house while enormous windows and patio doors bring in natural light and the stunning jungle, mountain and ocean views that grace the space from every direction. A patio, complete with a hammock, looks onto the tropical jungles and majestic 1,300-meter high coastal mountains while, on the opposite side, a large veranda brings rainforest, palm plantation, cattle-ranch, mangrove, and Pacific Ocean views – including the Térraba -Sierpe Wetlands, Osa Peninsula, Caño Island, Corcovado National Park and the mangrove-maze of the Térraba River Delta. The sunsets are said to be spectacular! Both the patio and veranda are protected by the beautiful timber roof overhangs. Downstairs are the two en suite bedrooms – the master bedroom is enormous, including a relaxation area and a covered patio which overlooks the jungles and mountains. The huge en-suite shower gives a floor-to-ceiling view of the surrounding rainforest, seemingly an arm’s-reach away. The second bedroom is large and includes a private patio as well as an en-suite with similarly spectacular natural views. The bottom floor also includes a fully equipped laundry room. CABIN A short stroll along the lush pathway brings you to the 1-bedroom cabin, a timber masterpiece! Every piece of this structure is made of timber – from the veranda floorboards to the walls, doors, bed-frames and ceilings. Beautiful timber cabinets, tables and furniture add to the feelings of warmth and relaxation. The floor space is split between a large kitchen / dining / living area and a single bedroom. A bathroom with a shower sits at the far end of the cabin, a separate space under the same roof. 360-degree wrap-around veranda, under the overhanging timber roof, reminds of the long-gone old-world charm. The cabin is surrounded by towering tropical trees – this deep inside a rainforest you never know what amazing creature may greet you – macaws, toucans, monkeys, anteaters, sloths, blue morpho butterflies? Just imagine the jungle chorus that will see you off to bed or greet you every morning! RIVER, SWIMHOLES & WATERFALL The meandering step-stone path leads through the towering jungles and lush tropical undergrowth as it takes you to a secret paradise – a mountain river complete with burbling cascades and a horsetail waterfall. Swim-holes abound – imagine relaxing in the cool & crystal waters with your family or guests, a refreshing drink in hand, the sights and sounds of a tropical rainforest extending above you and in every direction? Or how about a morning stroll for a riverside meditation to start your day? THE TRES RIOS AREA While this property seems to stand in the depths of a jungle, modern civilization is minutes away. The nearby Costanera highway will take you to towns like Palmar, Ojochal and Uvita where you will find all the services and amenities you could ever need. Beautiful beaches, some of the best in Costa Rica, are just around the corner – Playa Ventanas amongst them, a tropical gem with thundering sea caves. THIS IS AN OFFER LIKE NO OTHER It is not often that a large property with multiple structures, private river & waterfall, and incredible views is presented to the local market. And you could not ask for a more perfect location – standing in the wilds of a tropical rainforest yet minutes away from a hot cup of coffee, a live gig at a local bar, a meal at a 5-star restaurant or a medical appointment, you CAN have the best of both worlds! Call RE/MAX to see this one-of-a-kind property TODAY!

The fussy attention to every square inch of this wonderful property creates a vibe of tropical luxury – and for those who know, it is a vibe like no other! The 10.9-acre lot holds three 2-bedroom homes (each with its own swimming pool), a large workshop, manicured gardens, sprawling orchards, four plantels, and two carports. While the nature immersion is total, the services and amenities of Tres Rios, Ojochal and nearby settlements are mere MINUTES away! But when you are here, modern civilization might as well not exist – because your neighbors are the monkeys, sloths, toucans, macaws, blue morpho butterflies, colorful poison dart frogs, oropendolas and all other creatures that Costa Rica is famous for! The sounds of a nearby river permeate every corner of the property. ACCESS & PROPERTY The property is accessed via a prepared and well-maintained public road. The security and privacy of a gated community will give you total peace of mind – a guard is on duty between 6am and 6pm, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, presiding over the only way in and out of the neighborhood. Prepared driveways lead away from the electric entrance gates taking you to the heart of the property. Each of the three homes is served by a concrete driveway, parking areas and a dedicated internet fiber optic line. A detached carport and an attached carport can shelter numerous vehicles while an automatic backup generator ensures an uninterrupted power supply. A 50,000-liter water tank is more than sufficient to serve the three homes, three pools and garden irrigation systems. THE GROUNDS The wild and mesmerizing tropical rainforest surrounds blend into one of the most beautifully landscaped grounds in our local area. Meticulously arranged and cared-for lawns & hedges, islands of tropical flowers bursting with colors, and towering shrub and tree arrangements are like something out of a painting! Picture-book stone pathways extend into every corner of this garden property. Countless fruit trees are peppered throughout the lot, offering a daily taste of the tropics. Seasons will dictate which fruit make it to your kitchen basket every morning – a healthy natural shake, a fruit snack or tropical fruit salad to start your day with? THE VIEWS Spectacular views extend in every direction. Up front, the vibrant gardens dissolve into tropical jungles that extend down to the sprawling mangroves of the Térraba River estuary and the untamed Pacific coastlines. The ever-shifting Garza Island guides the mighty Térraba towards her ocean delta while, beyond the shores, the blue and whitewater Pacific vistas present an ever-changing canvas. Caño island, a precious nature reserve, stands sentinel at the horizon. To the left, Osa Peninsula and the world-famous Corcovado National Park slowly fade into the distance. Blazing oranges, reds and crimsons of the renowned Pacific Ocean sunsets are a sight to marvel – will you enjoy them from the swimming pool, the patio or a secret spot hidden in the gardens, a cold drink in hand? Turn around and the majestic coastal mountains rise steeply to over 1,300 meters – covered in virgin cloud forests and dancing mists, their nearly-vertical slopes are home to seasonal waterfalls, some hundreds of meters high. MAIN HOUSE – 2 BED, 2 BATH, SWIMMING POOL Nestled seamlessly into its natural surroundings, the main house is adorned with the inviting warmth of natural wood. The doors, cabinets, furniture and lofty ceilings all feature the same charming exotic hardwood trim, creating a harmonious and cozy ambiance – while vibrant nature-themed paintings and murals remind you what lies just outside the walls! The entrance guides you into a central nexus occupied by a large open-concept kitchen, dining and living areas, with the lofty ceiling elevating the spaciousness. Large windows and patio doors provide garden, jungle and ocean vistas. The two bedrooms are huge, bright, airy, and surrounded by large walk out sliding doors that present nature-immersed views. Private outdoor showers accompany each bedroom, with one bedroom holding a full ensuite with an indoor shower, and the other a powder room. Numerous pantries, storage areas, a large laundry room and even a de-humidified walk-in closet ensure that storage will never be an issue. An attached carport will keep you dry even in the most tropical of downpours. A sizable storage room, accessed from the outside, holds gardening & pool supplies. At the back of the house a large covered patio with several lounge areas, the main dining area with seating for 10, a BBQ, and an outdoor kitchen with a full-sized fridge fronts the swimming pool and a large manicured lawn – and just beyond, the mountain, jungle and Pacific vistas capture attention from every corner of this patio, the true gem of this house. An accompanying soundtrack of the nearby mountain river completes the perfection. UPPER GUESTHOUSE – 2 BED 2 BATH, PRIVATE WADING POOL A staircase, meandering through landscaped grounds, leads to the upper guesthouse – the house can also be accessed via a concrete driveway. This is the larger of the two guest homes holding a living area including a fridge, two large and bright bedrooms, plenty of storage space including walk-in closets, and bathrooms with indoor & outdoor showers. Beautiful, bold artworks reflect the natural themes that peek into the home through the large windows and patio doors. Outside, a covered patio, pool and stunning views are on offer, A natural parking area surrounded by landscaped gardens provides a lush entranceway to this wonderful guesthouse. LOWER GUESTHOUSE – 1 BED, 1 BATH with OUTDOOR SHOWER, PRIVATE POOL The smaller of the two guest homes, this cute home also boasts breathtaking views, a covered patio area with an awning, a separate outdoor dining / seating area, and a large bedroom plus another bedroom / kitchen combined space. The roar of the nearby mountain river is a constant companion, as are the sounds of the surrounding jungle wilds. An outdoor pool presents a perfect sunset vantage point. THE WORKSHOP Located adjacent to the upper guest house, the separate workshop building holds a large functional area. The workshop can be utilized in a number of ways, from arts & crafts, to storage, to practical work and trades. The building is large, secure, well-lit and includes plenty of storage racks and bins. TWO ADDITIONAL ORCHARDS / PLANTELS A large bordering lot was purchased by the owner to provide a privacy buffer. The owner turned this land into a tropical orchard - holding dozens of fruit trees, the lot can be maintained as an orchard, developed to hold additional homes or structures, or sold by the buyer. A plantel near the entrance gate, accessed via a private driveway, currently holds fruit trees but can also be developed. The land is elevated and provides the same amazing views as the rest of the property.

WELCOME to the red-hot real estate market of Costa Rica’s SOUTHERN PACIFIC shores – home to beautiful unspoiled beaches, towering jungle covered mountains, tourist attractions like deep sea fishing, surfing, horseback riding and ziplining, and numerous local towns holding all the amenities you will ever need here – supermarkets, car mechanics, shops, restaurants and cafes, dentists, vets, legal offices, hardware stores, and many many others. This brand new 3-bedroom house is located in the well-known Southern Pacific community of CHONTALES, a secure and gated development with a recently paved road access. CHONTALES is nestled in the lush hills between the ocean and the mountains, away from the hustle and bustle of the coastal towns and noisy highway. It is an oasis of tranquility and tropical ambiance - however a quick trip down the hill will bring you back to civilization! The single-level, open design home is accessed via the back, a short walk from the beautifully crafted carport. A serene rock garden and landscaped backyard lead towards the front entrance which opens into the spacious kitchen / living / dining area. The entire front wall (and most of the back wall) of this main area are made of high glass panes and sliding patio doors – so even though you are at the back of the house, your view includes lush hills, jungles, mangroves and Pacific Ocean - before you even walk in! When all the patio doors are opened, the sea or mountain breeze will enter and refresh the space, flowing right though this main area of the house. The large master bedroom is located on the right side of the house, offering panoramic windows and sliding-door access to the pool and patio. The panoramic windows take full advantage of the view and natural light. On the left you will find two additional bedrooms, a shared bathroom, and a laundry area. One of these bedrooms offers sliding door access to the patio and pool area while the other is tucked away on the back side of the house. The swimming pool, located right in front of the main area, impresses with views of the vast mangroves, jungle covered hills, Pacific Ocean, Cano Island, Osa Pennisula and unforgettable crimson sunsets – this will invariably attract owners and their guests to indulge in a refreshing dip. A large covered patio, adjacent to the pool, is a perfect home for a BBQ and an outside dining area. The immediate surrounds are covered by tropical rainforests which attracts the famous Costa Rican wildlife - colorful birds, scarlet macaws, toucans, parrots, monkeys and beautiful Blue Morpho butterflies (amongst many others) - these will be your new neighbors! Turn around and the coastal mountains, rising sharply to over 1,300 meters (4.300 feet), dominate the view – they are covered by primary jungles and, after a rainfall, the nearly-vertical slopes showcase spectacular waterfalls, some hundreds of meters high. Often, mists and clouds dance between the peaks and valleys, creating a surreal landscape.

In our neighbourhood, easy access and near total tranquility usually don’t mix – not in the red-hot real estate market of Costa Ballena. BUT there are still a few hidden gems where you can find a peaceful, quiet and nature-infused environment hidden from the hassle and bustle but just a few minutes’ drive away from all the services, amenities and attractions you can imagine. Such is the case with this piece of land, located in the quiet community of TRES RIOS right next door to the tourist and expat hub of OJOCHAL. This lot fronts a paved public road and is accessed via a nicely prepared internal driveway. A steady but not too steep drive will bring you to the first plantel, located on your right about ½ way up to the top of the hill. Continuing up, the driveway swings to the left and terminates at the second plantel which stretches across the hilltop. The plantels are flat and offer beautiful views of the surrounding hills, jungles and the coastal mountains which rise up to 1,300 metres (4,300 feet) above the Pacific shores. These mountains are often covered in mystic mists and dancing clouds, coming alive with giant waterfalls which can cascade hundreds of meters down the seemingly vertical slopes. Jungle animals like macaws, toucans, capuchin and howler monkeys, oropendolas, mesmerising blue morpho butterflies and many others make the surrounding forests their home – they will be your new neighbours! A nearby river is clearly heard from every spot of the property, even in the dry season. The layout of this land offers many options for development including commercial undertakings. A stunning hacienda with a large swimming pool and panoramic mountain views can sit on the top plantel while the lower space can be occupied by a guesthouse – or perhaps the development of a large family compound can span the two building sites? Entrepreneurs will delight in considering short or long-term rental accommodation, a café, restaurant, or a sport facility like a gym or yoga studio. The lower plantel can be occupied by the commercial venture while the top can hold a residential development. So many opportunities for mixing and matching! And the business would be brisk – this area is a red-hot real estate zone and interest is starting to shift towards the quieter areas such as TRES RIOS – as many people prefer the more relaxed atmosphere of the smaller settlements. While this lot is tranquil and nature immersed, Ojochal and the Plaza Ventanas shopping center are a 10 minutes’ drive away offering pubs, restaurants, cafes, doctors and dentists, law offices, tourist shops and supermarkets, trips and excursions, a gas station, hardware stores, garden centers and many other services. The famous and spectacular Playa Ventanas can be reached by car in 10 minutes, as can the Pavones Waterfall or the catch-your-own tilapia restaurants. For those who are looking for peace, beauty, and communion with nature but also the proximity of service and amenities – look no further. And if you are commercially minded, consider this great opportunity in one of the hottest markets of Costa Rica! Ready to show anytime – this one will not last long!
