The HOTTEST Costanera-Bordering Lot in Our Area – With Massive Rainforest-Covered 23 Acres on Prime Highway Frontage Between Plaza Ventanas and Entrance to Ojochal! OVERVIEW You have heard the old adage – LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! And the location of this land is AS GOOD AS IT GETS – the property sits 500 meters south of Plaza Ventanas, a major shopping, business & leisure center with the only gas station between Uvita and Palmar. Another 400 meters to the south brings you to the entrance to Ojochal, a red-hot real estate town that is home to locals, expats, digital nomads, families and tourists alike – known as the ‘culinary capital of Costa Rica’, Ojochal is being transformed into a jungle-canopy showstopper! The Ojochal locals are warm, friendly and inviting – many community groups, sport clubs and volunteer organizations make for a rich and thriving community. And let’s not forget about the unbelievable 326 METERS (1070 FEET) of highway frontage along the Costanera, a major throughfare which hugs Costa Rica’s Pacific coastline. This is the one and only road which extends along much of the county’s Pacific coast – the region’s towns, villages, airports, hospitals, gas stations, and other services & amenities are mostly located along or adjacent to this highway. And this property touches hundreds of meters of Costanera frontage! THE PROPERTY The lot’s 23 Acres of beautiful jungle-covered land are blessed with both flat and elevated sections, stunning ocean & jungle views, refreshing ocean breezes, and a creek meandering through the property. The rainforest cover is tall and thick with varieties of plants and trees, some of which are ancient & huge as they tower above the forests, the silent sentinels. A full compliment of jungle animals make their home here. The hilly sections climb to over 60 meters ASL or 30 meters above the forested parts of the land to give clear views of Playa Tortuga, Terraba River delta and the Pacific Ocean. The crashing surf is only 800 meters away – so the soothing sounds of swashing waves will forever be the soundtrack of this land. And the sunset vistas will be unforgettable as the western sky is painted in yellows, oranges, red, crimsons and purples every single evening! THE VISION This land, so convenient, natural, diverse, close to the ocean and blessed by natural beauty would make for a PERFECT high-end eco-resort – whether the accommodation is located in the thicks of the jungle or along the ocean-view ridges, nature is all around. Other options include a residential community, boutique tourist accommodation, or a retirement village. Keeping the land private, a nature-encased family compound, a luxurious villa, or a simple open cabin for true nature communion are worthwhile options. Whatever your vision, this plot of land is the PERFECT setting. THE LOCAL AREA The local area is a nature lover’s paradise – teeming with animals, the rainforests are homes to monkeys, macaws, sloths, jaguars & pumas, electric blue morpho butterflies, toucans, glass frogs, and many other jungle creatures – or, your new neighbors! Natural attractions are a stone’s throw away – Playa Ventanas, with her thundering sea caves, is about 3km distant. The untouched Playa Tortuga is just over 1 km away. Pavones Waterfall is 7km from the plot, and a 15 minutes’ travel will bring you to Uvita and Marino Ballena National Park, famous for whale-watching, sport-fishing, SCUBA, surfing, and all types of adrenaline and eco activities. A few minutes’ drive will find you at multitudes of high-end restaurants, cafes, pubs, shops, grocers, pickleball courts, yoga studios, beauty salons, hardware shops, and everything in between. Lawyers, dentists, doctors and real estate professionals can be found in every direction, as can be car mechanics, builders, gardeners and cleaners. What I am trying to say is that the location perfectly marries nature and practicality. Highlights: 23 acres of usable land 326 meters (1,070 feet) of prime highway frontage Ocean sunset, creek, and jungle views.
