Ojochal is a red-hot jungle town, the ‘Culinary Capital of Costa Rica’ and the favorite destination for tourists, volunteers, expats, investors and families alike. You can find anything here – top restaurants, trendy cafes, themed pubs, local eateries, barbers, a carwash, pickleball courts and yoga studios, grocers, gas stations, lawyers & realtors, doctors & dentists, a mini water park (!), and anything in between. This property is located on Calle Cacique, a quiet street which defines the edge of Ojochal – so while the services, amenities and buzz are literally a few minutes’ walk away, your surroundings are lush, tranquil, peaceful and tropical. Because the property is elevated and encircled by tall rainforests, the civilization that exists a stone’s throw away may as well be a thousand miles distant. In every direction you will see nothing but the famous Costa Rican nature – towering jungles, soaring coastal mountains, and a window views of the Pacific Ocean. Sunsets will turn the Pacific vistas into explosions of reds, oranges, purples, yellows and crimsons while the coastal mountains will bask in the golden light of sunset. And speaking of the coastal mountains – soaring to over 1,000 meters in elevation, their near-vertical slopes are home to massive green-season waterfalls, some hundreds of meters high. Many people compare them to the ranges of Hawaii. This lot is READY & WAITING for the shovels to hit the ground – it is prepared with legal water, underground electricity conduits, a gravel driveway that leads all the way to the top of the property, complete & valid survey and soil study, and a valid building permit. The size of the lot and availability of flat plantels can accommodate several private homes with pools and large gardens – with plenty of space for greenhouses, orchards, yoga decks, gazebos, guest homes or cabins…you get the idea! The lot’s elevation and amazing mountain and ocean vistas are a very unique feature – most area properties sit on flat land with very limited views. While some may glimpse the coastal mountains, Pacific Ocean views are simply out of the question for them. This lot has the best of all three worlds – LOCATION, views, and peaceful & natural surrounds. The current owners invested a lot of time and effort to transform this lot into a true tropical paradise. They have planted over 200 native trees on the property, eager to entice wildlife, provide a buffer & privacy, muffle noise and contribute to the sprawling jungle canopy of Ojochal. The forest cover and presence of a year-round creek inside the property will ensure the critters which make Costa Rica famous find a home here too – monkeys, macaws, blue-morpho butterflies and toucans are everyday sights while coatis, anteaters, sloths, tayras and many other critters will surely drop in to welcome the new owners. What a rare & special find – an oasis of peace and nature yet so close to everything Ojochal has to offer – with scores of cafes, eateries, and shops just a quick walk away. And the sizeable lot and plantels are waiting for you to paint your vision onto this unique elevated property
A Tranquil 3-Bed Home With Room For Further Construction, HUGE Rainforest Backyard, a Vibrant Mountain River and Wild Jungle Trails Just a Stone’s Throw Away From One of Ojochal’s Main Throughfares. LOCATION & ACCESS This large 1.24-acre property is located just off Calle Principal, a short distance from the heart of Ojochal and about 4km from the Costanera highway. Unlike the built-up landscapes of central Ojochal under 1km away, this is a mostly rural area with scattered homes and wide expanses of fields, farms and jungles all around the property. A prepared and partly paved road picks you up at the Costanera, takes you over a brand-new bridge, swings past the commercial areas of Ojochal and brings you to the large gravel carpark immediately in front of the home. The gate provides safety and peace of mind. THE HOUSE A very smart layout, separating the bedrooms from the living areas of the home, is perhaps the most interesting feature of the house. A covered entranceway leads to the central hallway which connects the two parts of the home. The left portion holds a large & fully-equipped kitchen which looks onto the lush towering jungles – a grande view while you are chopping onions or mixing the stir fry. Marble countertops and rich, lumber cabinets provide the perfect contrast. The kitchen holds a large marble-top island that can accommodate the dining needs of a large family – although a more traditional six-place dining table is also provided. Behind the dining table, the living area invites with an L-couch, big-screen TV, and beautiful art & accents. The other part of the home holds three bedrooms and a single bathroom. The large Master Bedroom looks onto the deck, pool and majestic jungles just over an arm’s reach away. It offers extensive storage and floor-to-ceiling glazing with direct patio-door access to the backyard. The other two bedroom are also bright, airy and provide plenty of storage space – and all three rooms impress with beautiful lumber beds, furniture, and shelving. The bathroom is accented with black marble tile – the large shower and monsoon shower-head add a touch of comfort & luxury. POOL & PATIO The covered patio will keep you dry and out of the sun. It invites with plenty of seating options – tables, lounges and bar-stools abound, a choice of seating to enjoy a hot lunch straight off the backyard BBQ – or a cold drink on a warm day. Nearby, a sunny swimming pool graces with the most natural of backgrounds – a towering rainforest wall which marks the ‘wild’ portion of your backyard. JUNGLE BACKYARD, TRAILS & RIVER A prepared trail leads from the backyard straight into the jungle wilds. Soaring trees, brilliant flowers, tropical plants, climbing vines and the stunningly rich biodiversity of a lowland rainforest sit a mere 30-second walk away from your living room! Monkeys, macaws, sloths, anteaters, brilliant blue morpho butterflies and many other jungle critters will be your new neighbors. Descending into the valley, a briskly flowing mountain river blesses with her cool & clean waters – a few strategically placed rocks will create an amazing, natural swim hole to the delight of your family and guests. Can you imagine cooling off in the magical water, a hot coffee or refreshing drink in hand, while your visitors are marveling at the amazing Costa Rican jungle & animals that surround in every direction? NEARBY AREA Top-rated restaurants, cafes, tourist shops, supermarkets, barbers, pickle-ball, yoga studios, schools, a library, and many other amenities are located in and around Ojochal, just over a kilometer from the home. A few more kilometers will bring you to Plaza Ventanas with her gas station, dentist & doctors, lawyers & real estate professionals, cafes, restaurants, tourist shops and even a mini water park (not to mention the giant dinosaur statues)! Playa Ventanas, with her thundering sea caves, is 7km away while the wild & untamed Playa Tortuga and the neighboring turtle rescue center are even closer. Another 15 minutes will bring you to the large service town of Uvita with her services, amenities and world-famous Marino Ballena National Park – SCUBA, sport fishing, adventure & eco activities, or beach fun await! ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT Several flat areas are available for further development. A second home, pool house, guest cabins, a large gazebo or yoga deck, greenhouses, fruit orchard or natural parklands can be added at your convenience and in service of your imaginations – the opportunities are limitless. What an amazing property – while central Ojochal is a quick stroll away, you wouldn’t know it as your little world is all about towering jungles and untamed mountain rivers, the sound of nature, and a peaceful life at the end of a quiet driveway. Fancy a peek at the house and the magical rainforest & mountain river? Call REMAX today!
An impressive, elevated 4.1-acre ocean, sunset and mountain view lot in the jungle-clad, sough-after hilly neighborhood above the cosmopolitan jungle-town of Ojochal! OVERVIEW & ACCESS Located in one of the most exclusive neighborhoods in our area, this sizeable lot is nestled between Cinco Ventanas and the mountain-side neighborhoods of Ojochal, the jungle-clad town dubbed the ‘Culinary Capital of Costa Rica’. The land can be accessed via Cinco Ventanas Road or via Calle Del Bosque which winds its way through the town of Ojochal – both of these access roads connect to the Costanera highway, a major access throughfare of South-Pacific Costa Rica. LOCATION & VIEWS The cleared & prepared land is elevated at about 250m (820 feet) ASL at the southern end and 280m (920 feet) ASL at the northern end. The views are nothing short of spectacular – the Pacific Ocean, Garza island and Osa Peninsula (home to Corcovado National Park) are framed by towering jungles and the majestic coastal mountains. Rising sharply to over 1,000 meters or 3,300 feet, these mountains are covered in ancient jungles, cloud-forests, and green-season waterfalls that descend hundreds of meters down their nearly vertical slopes. In the summer their richly green valleys stand in stark contrast to the blue skies and white fair-weather clouds that dance between the peaks. Jaguars, pumas and tapirs roam their upper slopes while the lot will be visited by monkeys, toucans, macaws, coatis, anteaters, blue morpho butterflies and many other jungle critters – your new neighbors! The elevation will ensure nearly constant, cool & refreshing mountain breezes – a cool respite from the warmer air located just below the property. NEARBY AMENITIES & ATTRACTIONS The lot is located a quick 3km from Ojochal – a beautiful town full services, amenities, and some of the best & most exclusive restaurants in our area. And if upon exiting the lot you turn left instead of right, a scenic 15-minute jungle drive will bring you to Costanera highway and Plaza Ventanas where you will find a gas station, grocer, cafes & restaurants, lawyers & realtors, a doctor & a dentist, ice cream, street food vendors, tourist shops, towering dinosaur statues and even a mini water park! Just a few minutes more will bring you to the Instagram-famous Playa Ventanas and her roaring sea caves, or the natural & undeveloped Playa Tortuga with her adjacent turtle-rescue & education center. Another 15 minutes along the Costanera and you are in the large service town of Uvita and the world-famous Marino Ballena National Park – surfing, whale-watching, sport fishing, eco & adrenaline activities, and more tasty food options await! Such a HUGE and beautiful property, surrounded by jungles and spoiling with mountain & ocean views, is a gem of a find – you will NOT find a bigger available lot in this exclusive, elevated neighborhood! Call RE/MAX today to see the sights and feel the refreshing air of this amazing lot.
Homes and lots are not hard to come by in foothills of the 1,300 metre (4,300 ft) coastal mountains towering above Ojochal. So what makes this property an ULTRA-RARE one-of-a-kind offer? It is not just the size of the plantel (more about that later) but also the privacy, landscaping, layout, and surroundings of this amazing piece of land! The lot is located in the exclusive jungle-covered Phase 8 area which stretches over the foothills between the coastal mountains and Pacific Ocean. Away from the hustle and bustle of Ojochal and the Costanera highway, here you can see and hear the Pacific Ocean surf, watch the mist-shrouded mountains, enjoy numerous rivers and waterfalls, and be surrounded by the wildlife that Costa Rica is famous for – monkeys, toucans, macaws, and the majestic blue morpho butterflies are just some of your friendly neighbours. But if you crave an escape, Ojochal’s trendy cafes, world-class restaurants, pubs, shops, supermarkets, medical clinics, sport and leisure facilities (did someone say pickleball?) and amazing beaches are just a few kilometres down the hill! The best of both world is right here in Phase 8. The lot’s star feature is the size of the plantel. Up here in the hills, properties straddle the steeply rising slopes of the coastal mountains. Flat land is scarce even with creative earthmoving involved. Often the houses are limited in size and design due to the aggressive topography which makes the area beautiful but also limited in development options. BUT this is where our lot shines – straddling a lush valley, a HUGE flat area has been shaped and readied, a canvas for you to manifest your vision. A family compound, massive mansion and oversized swimming pool, or a sprawling hacienda with a guest house are some of the residential options. A savvy businessman will see a different vision – perhaps a replica of the hugely successful retirement communities located in nearby Ojochal? The land is big enough for a half dozen small retirement homes with a central common area, gazeebo and swimming pool. Or what about rental units or a small hotel? All is possible due to the size of the plantel! A pathway leads through the rainforest to emerge at a refreshing, sparkling, crystal clear jungle river. A perfect place for rest & relaxation - you can meditate to the sound of the water, enjoy a cool dip in the natural swimming pool, or wonder at the secret hidden waterfall that plunges over a rocky cliff. And let me tell you about the land and its surroundings! The lot looks down a lush valley with views of the Pacific Ocean and the world-famous scuba destination of Cano Island. The sunsets will be spectacular. Below, a clear mountain river burbles down the valley floor, just a short stroll away. Above, the coastal mountains provide ever-changing vistas – thick in primary forest cover, they are often covered in dancing clouds and mists with majestic waterfalls (some hundreds of meters high) coming into view after rainfalls. Due to Costa Rica’s strict environmental regulations, the jungles surrounding the lot and river will NEVER be cut or developed – so you can be sure the rainforest surroundings will always be here for the enjoyment of you and your guests. The owner has taken great care to prepare and secure the land. The plantel has been meticulously shaped, all drainage and water holding infrastructure is in place, and the access road has recently been laid and compacted. Fibre internet, power and water facilities are available to the property – so the construction of your grand vision can start with minimal delay! Such a value-studded, majestic, private, flat and secure lot is a true rarity up in the hills above the red-hot Ojochal property market – and thus the opportunities, both residential and commercial, are earth shattering! Call RE/MAX without delay because this property is as good as SOLD!
The Osa Peninsula holds over half of Costa Rica’s species and is considered one of the world’s most enchanting natural areas. Located within, Corcovado National Park is famous around the globe for its beauty and biodiversity – in fact National Geographic has claimed that the park is "the most biologically intense place on Earth in terms of biodiversity". It is a very attractive area to settle for people who love nature and the mystery of a primeval jungle… but also the perfect location to open a business which leverages the unique natural assets of this area: a lodge, cabins, or a small hotel built to exist in harmony with nature would present a perfect getaway for relaxation, unwinding, and getting in touch with Mother Earth away from the typical high energy tourist hustle and bustle. The property is located approximately two hours’ drive from Bahia Ballena, Uvita, and Ojochal, and approximately 15 min. from Puerto Jimenez. It sits on a very special road, within the top-rated neighborhood in the area. The access road ends on the Corcovado National Park border, about 3 km from the property. The property, nearly 2 acres in size, is completely enveloped by a lush primary forest. Numerous mighty, ancient and precious trees create a magical and serene feeling. Several trails, cut by the owner, criss-cross the lot. A road leads from the gate to the house, with parking provided near the gate - the owner, wanting to preserve the natural lushness and beauty, insisted on keeping the carpark near the edge of the property. The house is located in the village of Canaza. Only 10 minutes from the highway, you find yourself in a different world where nature is seething from every corner of the jungle - countless tropical animals, birds, amphibians and lush vegetation everywhere you look. Monkeys, macaws, colourful tropical birds and beautiful butterflies, dazzling frogs as well as a never-ending variety of tropical flowers and plants are your everyday neighbours. Tapirs, jaguars, harpy eagles, sloths and anteaters may drop in for a visit as well! The sound of the burbling river, located on the property, completes the wholeness of this magical place. The house is approximately 50 meters away from the gate, placed along a wide, well-maintained path that can easily be converted to a driveway. It sits in a picturesque part of the property, surrounded by breathtaking trees and practically drowning in greenery. It is built entirely of teak, pine and bamboo. Mounted on high columns, the house is separated from ground moisture and jungle critters which the property contains in innumerable quantities (the birds and butterflies are not affected by this!). The empty ground level, below the elevated house, can easily be turned into another living area, storage, workshop, gym, BBQ area, creative studio or a patio. The house, which is in good condition, features two stories. On the first floor, an open concept design encompasses a spacious living room, a fully equipped large kitchen, and a bathroom. Along the entire length, protected only by a screen, panoramic windows allow you to observe, as well as integrate with, the permeating nature. The open design also floods the area with natural light. Wide stairs lead to the second floor which is entirely dedicated to bedroom. The bedroom windows create a unique atmosphere not only for the bedroom, but also of the whole house. Property is very well maintained. The owner works with a caretaker who knows the property and lives very close, just up the road. But this is not the end of what this special property has to offer! A short walk through the jungle leads us to a flat area where you can build a few cabins…or a yoga platform, big patio, creative studio, gazebo, jungle jacuzzi, swimming pool, party area/dance floor…you are limited only by your imagination (and business plan)! This area may have a separate entrance straight from the road – offering privacy and security. Due to its location, uniqueness, atmosphere, privacy, potential for further development, and total integration with nature, the property presents great short or long term rental business options as well as the potential to develop a detached business with the privacy of separate road access. The property already is a successful rental business. The property has ASADA water, electricity, internet and does not require a 4x4 to reach it. Words do not reflect the attractiveness and atmosphere of this place. The property is ready to show anytime and will not be on market very long. Contact me today!
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!

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.

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.

A BRAND NEW, Luxurious 4-Bed House – a Marvel of Craftsmanship, Construction and Design – With Ocean Sunset Views, Jungle Immersion & Mountain Surrounds but only Minutes from Local Attractions, Beaches, Services and Amenities. Welcome to Mystic Ballena. THE LOCATION The home sits on top of the exclusive ‘Cinco Ventanas’ development, just above the jungle town of Ojochal – a perfect ‘best of both worlds’ location. Resting high above the Costanera highway and local villages, this end-of-the-road house is surrounded by uninhabited stretches of jungle on three of its sides – giving a feeling of peaceful seclusion & isolation. But all modern-day conveniences are just a short, 10-minute drive away – as the nearby Costanera, being the only Pacific-coast highway, is a haven for services and amenities of any and all kinds. Sitting approximately 230 meters above the ocean shores, the home is high enough to benefit from cooler temperatures, comfortable humidity and frequent & refreshing mountain and sea breezes. ACCESS Mystic Ballena is accessed via a prepared road which starts at the Costanera highway and steadily climbs through the Cinco Ventanas community. The home sits at the end of the road, where the towering jungles confidently take over. An electric gate and concrete driveway lead down to the parking area and a 2-car garage. The gate, garage and house all share common architectural elements & finish – your first glimpse of the impeccable attention to detail which defines this outstanding property. THE HOUSE The 2-level home is open, bright, airy, and designed to take full advantage of the picturesque surroundings and tropical lifestyle. Every room & space in the home is air-conditioned but also includes wall-to-ceiling windows and huge patio doors which dissolve the line between ‘outside’ and ‘inside’. An oversized, overhanging roof envelops the home, providing plenty of covered and shady patio areas that are protected from the rain – both upstairs and downstairs. This roof is peppered with lighting and ceiling fans – and the top is equally impressive with a solar water heater & a perfectly placed Starlink antenna. Downstairs, the large & sunny infinity salt-water pool steals the show – located just in front of the house, the pool stretches along the entire length of the patio. And the pool views are nothing short of spectacular – you are looking down at hills, rainforests and the Pacific Ocean while the coastal mountains take over to complete the flank of the vistas. But the integrated outdoor BBQ station, with a sink and plenty of counter & storage space, is not to be overlooked - protected by the overhanging roof, I think it will often become a star of the show in its own right! The bottom floor of the home is dedicated to the shared kitchen / dining / living zone which takes up most of the area. Entire walls of this space are glazed and can be moved aside to incorporate the ground floor into the outside patio – so whether you are cooking, eating or relaxing, the mountain breezes and stunning views reach you in their full splendor. Masterful finish and design permeates the home but is especially noticeable here – the rich and warm colors, lumber accents, designer furniture & luxurious fitout are straight out of the centerfold of an architectural digest magazine! From the designer light fixtures & wall-mounted wine racks, to the lumber & glass dining table, tropical potted plants, stair accents, lumber-Tetris coffee table, and the sunny-colored lounges, your eyes will be pleased whether you look. The kitchen is fully equipped with ample counter, storage and dining areas while the floating lounges can be configured is many ways, as necessary. The bottom floor also includes a bedroom which is separated from the main area and has a separate entrance – this fully-wired space can also be utilized as a stand-alone home office. Upstairs, three bedrooms stretch along a verandah and a large, covered patio area. Each bedroom includes plentiful glazing that catches every inch of the majestic views. And if that was not enough, entire walls can be moved aside to integrate the bedrooms into the outside patio. The lumber beds are a work of art in themselves and the ensuites amaze with their brightness, lumber finish and brilliant blue tiling. And did you know that the master bedroom ensuite can be fully opened to the outside – as the patio doors slide away, you will feel like your bath or shower is taking place in the tree-tops of the surrounding jungles! THE GROUNDS Above the house, a large plantel makes for a perfect yoga deck – can you imagine starting your day with a yoga session, along splendid ocean & rainforest views, your only soundtrack being the awakening jungle critters and distant roar of the Pacific surf? Surrounded by hundreds of acres of rainforests and greenery, I can imagine no better place! This plantel can also be developed into another house, cabins, guest accommodation, or perhaps a serene and nature-infused jacuzzi? Tropical garden or fruit orchard? A gazebo for lazy afternoons and evening jungle wildlife concerts? Below the home, a large canvas of manicured lawns and tropical landscaping invite for a round of golf practice– yes, you’ve read that right! You can stay sharp by chipping & putting along this 1-hole golf practice area but beware the sand trap! THE VIEWS The views are nothing short of spectacular – and the majestic Pacific Ocean sunsets will be unforgettable. On your right, the famous Whale’s Tail sand & rock formation, star of Marino Ballena National Park, is in constant shift thanks to the ever-changing tides. To the left, you glimpse Isla Ballena and surrounding shoals – these near-shore outcroppings are a haven for snorkeling, SCUBA and spying for the migrating Humpback Whales. Last year a Humpback mother, father and calf cozied up among these rocks, to the delight of local whale-watchers. Glancing along, the ocean abruptly disappears behind a wall of a thriving tropical rainforest and the awe-inspiring coastal mountains which make a steep ascent towards 1,300 meters asl. These mountains are covered in a blanket of jungles and ancient cloud forests. In the dry season their tropical slopes stand in stark & beautiful contrast to the white fair-weather clouds which often dance along their peaks. In the green season numerous waterfalls – some hundreds of meters high – tumble down their nearly vertical slopes as mists descend down their steep-walled valleys. Many people have likened these mountains to the landscapes found on Hawaiian islands of Maui or Oahu – and we tend to agree. THE JUNGLE WILDLIFE The homes rainforest immersion, on 3 sides, will bring plenty of jungle wildlife to the property – monkeys (howler, capuchin, squirrel and spider), scarlet macaws, several species of toucans and toucanets, sloths, anteaters, poison dart frogs, tree frogs, giant moths, coatis, brilliant blue morpho butterflies and many other critters will be your new tropical neighbors. And perhaps you will catch a sight of the secretive jaguarundi – or maybe even a wandering tapir or jaguar? The lot is literally touching a huge swath of sprawling mountain jungles, so always expect to be visited by curious creatures – your new neighbors. LOCAL AREA Just 10 minutes downhill, Plaza Ventanas brings modern conveniences on a silver platter – a gas station, small grocer, shops, restaurants, cafes, ice cream parlors, dental & medical offices, lawyers and real estate professionals, giant dinosaur statues and even a mini waterpark call Plaza Ventanas home. From here, a 5-minute drive will take you to Ojochal, a jungle village where you will find supermarkets, barbers, pickleball, fancy restaurants, bohemian cafes, a carwash, and many other conveniences. If you turn in the opposite direction, the tourist mecca of Uvita is under 15 minutes away – this is a large service town, home to the world-famous Marino Ballena National Park and the buzzing Envision music & lifestyle festival. Or perhaps you wish to visit the peaceful Playa Tortuga or the famous Playa Ventanas – these beaches are a quick 5-minute drive from Plaza Ventanas and twice a year attract the migrating Humpback Whales which can be seen (and heard) passing just offshore, close enough to touch! Mystic Ballena is the most exclusive & luxurious home in Cinco Ventanas - bar none. Meticulously designed and built to the highest of standards and specifications, it stands sentinel over the rolling hills & deep jungles of the exclusive Cinco Ventanas community. Such an outstanding property will make any buyer proud – and prove to be a delight to their visiting family and friends.

A Huge Rainforest, River & Waterfall Property With TWO Mountain & Jungle-View Luxury Homes on a Massive 4.93 Acre Lot – PLUS an Additional Plantel ready for Development – Just 5 Minutes from Uvita and 13 Minutes from Marino Ballena National Park. THE LOCATION – 250m ELEVATION ABOVE UVITA WITH VIEWS TOWARDS THE EAST Situated in the upper reaches of the sought-after Union Road address, this large 2-home property descends a mountain ridge above the nearby resort town of Uvita. But you wouldn’t know it as the east-facing views extend across endless mountain, valley and rainforest vistas, mere foothills of the towering 4000-meter Cordillera Central range…so the vibe of the property is a true ‘middle of nowhere Costa Rica’ feeling that is only betrayed by knowing that a few minutes’ drive will bring you to all the essential (and extraneous!) services and amenities of buzzing Uvita. UPPER HOUSE – 4 BED – Completed in 2025 This house is built with total comfort & style in mind. As the ridgetop location benefits from a beautiful FULL DAY’S worth of sunshine, an overhanging white roof and superb insulation keep the home cool while reliable mountain breezes bless with their fresh mountain air, nature’s air-conditioning. An outdoor patio, with exquisite décor and a sunny infinity pool, creates a focal point of the space. The infinity pool features floating steps and meticulously crafted blue & gray marble tile finish – a perfect pairing for its refreshingly cool waters. The property is accessed via a gravel driveway which connects to a prepared public road. The lower level of the home holds a 2-car carport, additional parking areas, a laundry room, and a single bedroom with an ensuite. Upstairs are the three additional bedrooms, a large kitchen / dining / lounge area, swimming pool & patio, and additional parking. The upper master bedroom includes an enuite, extra high ceilings and access to both common & private patios while the two other bedrooms & the house share a common bath. All four bedrooms have beautiful views, open directly to the outside via patio doors & hold plentiful storage and all rooms & areas of the house are air-conditioned and feature marble floor tile. LOWER HOUSE – 3 BED – Currently Under Construction – Projected Completion on the end of 2025. This designer 3-bedroom, 2-level home define the epitome of luxury. The upward-sloping roof, floor-to-ceiling glazing, an infinity pool with jungle & mountain views, covered patio, covered parking and detailed design & finish conspire to make this one of the most exclusive homes in the local area. Located some distance below the Upper House, this home will offer privacy and dedicated driveway access. And just like the Upper House, it will benefit from ample daily sun and frequent cooling mountain breezes. THE PROPERTY & PLANTEL The roughly rectangular 4.93 acre property descends from near the top of the ridge down to the deep valley river, a fall from 250m to 170m asl, approximately. The access road and two homes are situated near the top of the property while the majority of the lower area is covered by a rainforest which extends all the way down to the river. There is plenty of space to develop the nearby plantel, located just below the Lower House – a home or two, guest accommodation, cabins, a large lap pool, jacuzzi, tropical orchard, beautifully manicured gardens… just let your imagination be your guide! THE RIVER & WATERFALL Just below the property a mountain river cuts a steep channel on its way to the nearby Pacific. The Ballena River forms the eastern border of the lot and a prepared path will take you straight to its refreshing waters. Imagine starting your morning with a serene walk into the vibrant rainforests teeming with life – you dip your feet in the cool river waters while sipping a hot coffee, grown just over the hills by generations of Costa Rican coffee farmers. Or how about a few afternoon drinks and snacks with your family and friends, kids splashing in the peaceful swim holes while you catch up on the day’s events and wander at the sight of the jungle waterfall? THE VIEWS The soaring, 1000m high coastal mountains are the stars of the property - in the summer their vibrant tropical slopes stand in stark contrast to the deep blue sky and brilliantly white fair-weather clouds. The green season brings towering waterfalls that descend their nearly vertical slopes. The always changing interplay of mountain-top clouds, valley mists and trees bursting with colorful seasonal flowers create a beautiful landscape painting that is ever-changing – and one that come complete with the sounds howler monkeys, scarlet macaws, tree frogs and so many others critters. THE LOCAL WILDLIFE Such a proximity to nature and wide range of nearby habitats will bring plenty of jungle wildlife to the property – monkeys (howler, capuchin, squirrel and spider), scarlet macaws, several species of toucans and toucanets, sloths, anteaters, poison dart frogs, tree frogs, giant moths, coatis, brilliant blue morpho butterflies and many other critters will be your new tropical neighbors. And perhaps you will catch a sight of the secretive jaguarundi – or maybe even a wandering tapir or jaguar? The lot is literally touching a huge swath of sprawling mountain jungles, so always expect to be visited by curious creatures. WATER Legal Water is a big deal in our area – and this property excels with an 7,500 liter water tank and authorized access to the pristine, crystal-clear treasure of the nearby mountain river. This setup is plentiful for satisfying all the needs of the property including future household, pool, and irrigation use. This is pure rainwater which filters down the slopes of the nearby mountains – you will not only marvel at the view but also drink the view (whether with a splash of lemon, in your tea or coffee, or gracing your tropical margarita). LOCAL AREA Just 5 minutes away and 250m downhill, Uvita is a fast-growing center of tourism, adventure and expat living – it has a wide mix of cafes, adrenaline & eco-tourism, shopping, fine dining, and exciting nightlife. Here you will also find everyday necessities - supermarkets, legal & accounting offices, doctors, dentists, veterinary clinics, car mechanics, beauty parlors, beer breweries – you name it! And 13 minutes away is Marino Ballena National Park, a world-famous surfing, whale watching & SCUBA destination. The park’s beaches are said to be among the most beautiful in the world and the ‘Whale’s Tail’ sand and rock formation is an easily accessible natural wonder. Twice a year, migrating Humpback Whales become the stars of the local area – we get both the Southern Pacific (July-October) and Norther Pacific (December – March) populations converging in our waters. Surfing, tanning, beach soccer/ volleyball, sports fishing, and SCUBA trips to the nearby Caño Island are some of the other popular Marino Ballena activities. Such a stunning, natural, secluded-but-not-isolated jungle-covered property with TWO designer homes, a mountain river border and direct walking access to its waters, swim holes and waterfall is an absolute gem of a find in the buzzing Uvita area. And imagine the possibilities when it comes to construction – with a flat plantel and plenty of space, your vision can run unrestrained.

A serene 4-acre property invites with a 1-bedroom home, covered yoga studio, large carport, several plantels and plenty of fertile land for farming, ranching or development - Yogis, permaculturists, hobby farmers, wellness enthusiasts, meditating monks or property development entrepreneurs wanted! THE LOCAL AREA Resting hundreds of meters above the nearby Pacific surf, the hilly Tinamastes region enjoys a cooler climate, often escaping the tropical heat and sticky humidity of Costa Rica’s popular coastal locales. But the pleasant weather and spectacular mountain & jungle vistas are not the main attractions here – this honor goes to the area’s reputation as Costa Rica’s center of sustainability, permaculture, handmade arts & crafts, organic farming, eco-living, spiritual pursuits and a tranquil lifestyle all-around. The countryside is a mix of jungles, cloud-forests, rolling hills, towering mountains, vertical cliffs, thundering waterfalls, pasturelands, coffee plantations (the Brunca coffee region) and small farms. THE HOUSE The single-bed house, with a million-dollar view, offers a tropical, bright, and open living concept. The bathroom / laundry area is especially striking in that regard – under a translucent roof, you can feel the warm sun which also nourishes the flowering bougainvillea that sneak into the space along the open ceiling. Numerous plants, some potted and some growing straight through the gravel flooring, add a touch of brilliant & bursting rainforest vibe – you have NEVER seen a bathroom quite like this one! The kitchen holds a fridge, gas burner, electric oven and plenty of storage – this kitchen space is also shared with a living area which opens into the front entrance / patio. The bedroom is bright, with the large windows welcoming the sunshine and exotic vistas. Up front, a covered entrance / patio is graced by climbing bougainvillea, manicured lawn & garden, and tropical mountain views - offering a place of relaxation, meditation or entertainment. A perfect spot for your morning coffee or afternoon drinks. THE YOGA PLATFORM & CARPORT A covered yoga deck, surrounded by floor to ceiling meshing that opens up the natural views, is served by a ceiling fan and electric lighting. So you can practice yoga any time of day and night, and in any weather – anyone can center themselves on a peaceful sunny day but how about doing so during a tropical thunder downpour? You will undoubtfully get a chance to find out! The enclosed yoga platform can easily turn into a guest cabin, giving your visitors a true jungle experience. The large carport can fit several vehicles and is outfitted with strong multi-level shelving for your storage needs. THE PLANTELS Three plantels are peppered throughout the property. The seller has taken great care to clean and prepare them and has provided clear pathways to connect property structures and plantels. The plantels all share the same majestic mountain and jungle views while the upper plantel also offers a distant view of the Pacific Ocean. Additional homes, guest homes, cabins, or perhaps a swimming pool, jacuzzi, or gazebo are just some options for development. Or how about a greenhouse or animal enclosure? With THREE plantels, you will be free to mix-and-match any way you desire! THE PROPERTY LOCATION This property is an easy 20-minute drive to Tinamastes – so while it may feel like the land is isolated and secluded, truth is that all the modern-day comforts and conveniences are a short drive away. You can easily enjoy a surfside morning coffee in Dominical or attend a day of shopping in San Isidro – and the trip itself will be an adventure as scenery along the way is simply breathtaking. Tinamastes – 20 minutes from the property. Tinamastes is a local service town but also a major center of artesian art & craft, organic farming, and alternate lifestyles. Here you will also find shops, cafes, bars & restaurants, grocers, car mechanics, schools, churches, and the famous farmer’s market. Dominical – 40 minutes from the property (going west). Home of a world-famous surf beach, Dominical and local area offer stunning Pacific scenery, eco activities, adrenaline pursuits, SCUBA, whale-watching, sport fishing, fine dining, pubs & cafes, nightlife & entertainment, as well as a plethora of other services and amenities. San Isidro – 40 minutes from the property (going east). San Isidro is the main city of Costa Rica’s southern half – so whatever you need in terms of goods & services, expect to find it there. What an incredible property in one of the most tranquil corners of Costa Rica!

Is this what you have been looking for – or dreaming of? Call RE/MAX today to arrange a viewing and start to manifest your most daring dreams into reality!

On the other end, the property borders Calle Jardin near the point where the road ends – ensuring that this neighbourhood is quiet and serene, as only a small handful of properties are located along this quiet no-exit part of the street. The majestic coastal mountains, rising to over 1,300 meters, or 4,300 feet, above Ojochal are visible from the property and feel just an arm’s reach away. The mountains are completely covered by old growth jungles and often shrouded in mists, the upper slopes holding cloud forests that make for surreal vistas. A few seasonal waterfalls are also visible, spectacularly descending for hundreds of meters along the imposing and nearly vertical flanks. Now a bit about the town of Ojochal – it is THE place to be – a hot real estate market driven by the town’s tropical surroundings, services and amenities, and proximity to some of the most scenic beaches, waterfalls and landscapes of Costa Rica. The town is known as an international village due to her popularity as a destination for locals, expats and tourists alike. World-class dining options surround the local area as do yoga studios and fitness centres, hotels and guesthouses, shops and supermarkets, medical clinics, legal offices, hardware stores and many other businesses. But Ojochal is also a true jungle town with numerous mountain rivers, streams and waterfalls criss-crossing the area, and a canopy of towering trees immersing the local homes and businesses giving a true ‘jungle village’ vibe. Resident toucans, flocks of noisy scarlet macaws, howler and capuchin monkeys, sloths, majestic blue morpho butterflies and many other tropical animals complete the Ojochal experience! The options for development are nearly limitless – the size of the plantel and surrounding land could accommodate a large house with a swimming pool/patio AND a huge green area that can be used as a garden, orchard, or retained as the current jungle. Commercial interest would also thrive in this area – a café, restaurant, or short- or long-term accommodation options are on the table for a savvy and sharp entrepreneur – surrounded by jungles and rivers BUT in the middle of OJOCHAL, the business would be BRISK! High-speed internet is accessible and electricity and legal water are available at the property – so the shovels can hit the ground without delay! A jungle-covered river-facing property with a flat plantel, in a red-hot town like Ojochal, is a rare gem indeed – you cannot afford to sit on this decision – call RE/MAX today!
A 3 acre lot, in the centre of Ojochal, within walking distance to cafes and world-class dining, and bordering lucrative retirement/rental developments – is this for real or some kind of typo or mistake? This property is located in a central, flourishing neighbourhood of the red-hot property market town of Ojochal (EVERYONE is coming here) offering AMAZING potential and opportunity. The land can be used to construct a huge mansion with a massive swimming pool, deck and vast green space. Or it can be farmed to provide a variety of staples, fruit and vegetables with enough space for animals like cows, sheep, and chickens. You may also lead a sustainable permaculture farm or allow the area to revert into a lush jungle, attracting local wildlife like monkeys, toucans, macaws and many others – with your house safely tucked away within the greenery. A commercial developer may wish to subdivide the land and sell the separate lots, make room for a commercial area with shops and restaurants, construct a large sporting venue, or follow the very successful model of nearby developments by building a denser community of smaller retirement or rental units, with plenty of space for parking and common grounds like parklands, gardens or recreational areas. This land is flat and all areas are usable for construction. Now a bit more about the location – Ojochal is the jewel of the Costa Ballena area. As development shifts to the south the attention once directed at Dominical and Uvita is now strongly focused on Ojochal and surrounds. The town is famous for world-class restaurants – you will find them scattered around the Costanera, within the town itself and up in the surrounding hills. Cafes, pubs, shops, recreational facilities supermarkets, medical and legal practices and many other amenities are found within just a few minutes’ drive – as are stunning beaches like Ventanas, Tortuga, and Pinuela. Mountain creeks, rivers, swimholes and waterfalls abound – including the famous Cascada el Pavon with a refreshing swim hole and a huge boulder hanging just above the drop. Build inside the jungle and up into the foothills of the imposing and spectacular 1,300 meter (4.300 ft) coastal mountains, Ojochal is integrated into the forest and teeming with nature – toucans, macaws, howler and capuchin monkeys, coatis, sloths, blue morpho butterflies, oropendolas and many other jungle creatures live within the town. The mix of nature, amenities, and surrounding attractions are the reason why so many people are moving here, and this property has come onto the market at just the right time –the skyrocketing demand, combined with your vision and dedication, can manifest an incredibly lucrative commercial development, perhaps a new landmark in our wonderful town! Electricity, water and high speed internet are available and shovels can hit the ground without delay – and because of the size, location, and usable area of this lot, you can be sure construction will be starting very soon. The question is, will it be YOUR vison being manifested, or will someone beat you to it? Call RE/MAX We Sell paradise today!
A listing like you (or us) have NEVER seen before – a 23 hectare permaculture farm stocked with around 80 animals and dozens of species of fruit and vegetables, tucked away 600m (2000 feet) above the surrounding countryside, with refreshing mountain breezes, BILLION DOLLAR views, a two-star ECOLOGICAL BLUE FLAG accreditation and 17 hectares of primary (old growth) jungle…but also connected to power, internet, water and with a strong call phone signal, sitting within a shouting distance of a local village and just a few kilometres’ drive away from the Pan-American Highway (National Route 2) which is speckled with towns and all the services and amenities you will ever need…WOW!As you turn off the Pan-American Highway to drive towards the farm entrance, a winding unpaved access road climbs through the mountains and jungles presenting ever-changing views of the lush forests and of the flatlands and ocean below. The farm is located a few hundred meters from the access road, straddling a few ridges and a peaceful little valley where you will find the homes, animal enclosures, a greenhouse and many of the plantations. Pastures and jungle-covered hills surround the farm on all sides with a cooling mountain breeze providing a refreshing atmosphere. It may be hot and muggy down below but up here the air is much more palatable!It is the owner’s wish that the lucky buyer is someone willing to keep all of the farm animals - there are 3 horses (a stallion and 2 mares), two dozen chickens (giving about 10 fresh eggs per day), 3 goats (2 milk goats and a male), 26 ducks and over 20 turkeys. The animals are healthy, happy and very well looked after. One horse is currently used as a work horse in the banana plantations. The horses can be ridden and there are plenty of nearby trails to enjoy a daily horseback ride – imaging the views as you top a hill and look 600m down towards the Pacific Ocean, or the vibe of riding through primeval jungles in the quiet misty mornings!The inventory of plants and crops is WAY too big to list here, so we will mention a few examples and leave the rest for a list at the bottom of this ad. Citrus plants, multiple banana species, fields of sweet potatoes, coffee, pineapple, mangosteen and pumpkin, pepper and tomatoes, herbs and spices are some of the DOZENS of species of fruit, vegetables and herbs growing on this property. The crops are scattered around the farm and the smaller or fragile plants are contained in a greenhouse. Three large compost heaps, in various stages of transformation, provide fertile soil to nourish the crops and water (fortified with banana peels) is always available to quench the plants’ thirst. The water is accessed via a 7-metre deep artesian well.All the plants and animals will ensure that your food is fresh, healthy, and complete: the best meat and eggs and the healthiest fruit, vegetables, and herbs – all organic – can make up your entire diet. You may wish to donate the extras to the local school or villagers, or barter or sell some of the produce? The expats flooding Costa Rica are very appreciative of top-quality organic foods and will pay top dollar!Over 65% of the property – 17 of the 26 hectares – is made up of primary growth jungles. This forest is very valuable – the Payment for Environmental Services program, administered through the Fondo Nacional de Financiamiento Forestal (FONAFIFO), allows for the forested land to be officially protected over either 5 or 10-year contracts for the purpose of carbon sequestration, biodiversity protection, water regulation or landscape beauty. The landowner is paid for these contracts, in effect turning the forested parts of the property into no-hassle income streams. Not only are they making money, but the forests can also still be enjoyed by the property owner. This service is subject to approval by the relevant government agencies.A house, guest house, bodega, animal enclosures and a greenhouse are grouped in the middle of the valley with crops extending all around and in between the structures. A 15-minute walk through the primary growth jungle, along a prepared wide path, brings you to a ridge with SPECTACULAR views of the rainforest covered mountains on one side and hills, valleys, flatlands and the Pacific Ocean (600 metres down) on the other – here you will also find a plantel which is large enough for a house, and the views from this house would be UNFORGETABLE. Multiple other trails lead to rivers, swim holes and a waterfall.An established and producing permaculture farm, with plentiful water and stocked with animals is a rare find in these parts of Costa Rica. Add to that the views and potential for further development, and you’ve got yourself a once-in-a-lifetime offer!

And I haven’t even told you that this property contains a refreshing jungle creek with a surreal waterfall and swimhole – all private and secure for the enjoyment of your family and friends!This house is truly exceptional in form, design and surroundings. Situated in the foothills of the coastal mountains it is less than 1 km away from the centre of Ojochal – a 5 minute walk to Tagua Café could be your morning routine, while the locally famous Los Gatos Locos restaurant/live music venue is 15 minutes’ walk from the house. But you are well-insulated from the hussle and bustle of Ojochal as the property is the only house on that side of the road, is elevated and nearly surrounded by tropical rainforests!

Have you ever dreamed of owning a jungle-immersed the land just steps away from a quiet and pristine Pacific Ocean beach, inside a secure gated community and with quick and easy access to the coastal highway and all the services and entertainment options the Costa Ballena area is world-famous for?Your dream is about to come true! A special offer like this is nearly impossible to find in our area. I say ‘nearly’ because you are lucky enough to be looking at just such an offer! Naturally set lots of land within shouting distance of the ocean are indeed hard to find and usually these lots are small, situated in a busy neighborhood and permeated by the sounds of civilization that drown out the noise of the ocean - even if the ocean is at your fingertips. This amazing, gated beach front community is located between the towns of Uvita and Ojochal. As soon as you pass through the entrance gate the jungle-tree buffer, the incessant roar of the ocean and the sound of crashing waves largely drown out the noises of the nearby highway. This lot is located close to the community entrance gate - the large building site is surrounded by a jungle punctuated by towering and majestic trees which watch over the community far below. This jungle provides a natural barrier which suppresses most of the road noise, and because the area is largely undeveloped the typical noises of civilization are also nearly absent. The endless rainforest encompassing the lot stretches from the ocean to the tops of the nearby mountains. It is not surprising that this area is used as a natural corridor for Costa Rican fauna in their daily migration between the ocean and the mountains – you will get to know which birds fly over at which time of the day. Your new neighbors will include numerous monkey species, scarlet macaws, colorful jungle birds and amphibians, electrifying blue morpho butterflies, glimpses of whales which visit from December to March, dolphins and frigate birds, and many many more!

The front of the property has a gentle drop on which you could accessorize your new house - a cabin, yoga platform, gazebo, are just some of the options that can be realized to enrich your experience. The surroundings make you feel like you are inside a jungle, your own and private, and the sounds of the ocean give this place a magical, de-stressing, lush and tropical atmosphere – how you take advantage of this is limited only by your imagination! A short five-minute walk brings you to one of the most beautiful beaches in Costa Rica, with amazing views of the nearby Ballena Island and the three piercing rockfaces of the Tres Hermanas Islands – these islands sit in the waters front and center of the wonderful beach. The beach is very quiet, it almost looks deserted – this despite it being surrounded by some of the most famous beaches in Costa Rica like Playa Uvita and Playa Ventanas! Several houses have already been built in this community and a few are under construction, but none of them threaten the privacy and serenity of the offered land.The lot is located on the highest point of the community, elevated in relation to the other properties. There is no need to worry about it being flooded. Lodging here is perfect for a family with school-age children as the largest and most popular multi-language private school sits just around the corner, the community is gated and secure, and access to local shops and services is very quick and easy - Uvita with all the ammenities, and Ojochal with Costa Rica's famous world class restaurants are only minutes away, which is something easy to forget when surrounded by the ocean, mountains, jungle animals and a lush rainforest!Water, electrical and internet connections are already established.Ready to be shown at any time

Countless species of trees and shrubs you can find in the jungle on the properties. You can grow a wider assortment vegetables, flowers, plants and fruit trees than at sea level, as this is where the mountain and coastal species meet and interact.

Welcome to El Paraiso Azul, an iconic Eco-Lodge located on the prestigious Perezoso Road in the sought-after village of Ojochal de Osa famous for its friendly locals, large international ex-pat community, wilderness and views, fantastic restaurants and incredible beaches.The lodge rests atop the first ridge above the ocean, a high-demand location speckled with restaurants and estate homes which overlook the Pacific and, on the other side, offer majestic mountain vistas.And speaking of the views…they are SPECTACULAR…. one could even say jaw-dropping! The flat Pacific Ocean horizon extends from left to right, meeting the Costa Rican coast just 300 metres away from the lodge – you can see and hear the waves! On your right you see the vast expanse of the ocean while on your left is a maze of protected sandbars, islands and mangroves that make up the vast Terraba River delta. This is the longest river in Central America and one of its delta arms enters the ocean ‘front and centre’ of the lodge – the waters of the river meet the power of the Pacific creating very interesting wave patterns that change with the tides.The Terraba River separates Isla Garza from the mainland. The island offers 17 kilometers of wild, natural and pristine ocean-facing beaches. It is just under 900m from the property and is accessible by a quick water taxi ride from the nearby oceanside settlement. On the riverside you can experience the incredible mangroves and related wildlife in a kayak or boat, touring to photograph numerous species of birds, monkeys, and parrots as well as caimans and possibly crocodiles too!Once back from your adventures you have the best seat in the house for the nightly crimson sunset show – you can watch the sun descend into the waters of the Pacific while you relax in the pool or sip a mimosa on the deck adjacent to the restaurant!Currently the lodge offers 11 rooms, 5 suites in the main building offering “WOW” ocean and sunset views and 6 rooms located in the 3 detached casitas which offer majestic and panoramic mountain vistas.Did I mention that this property is an INVESTOR’S DELIGHT?…There is room to build several additional casitas to expand the business (and your profit)! All the areas of the land offer fantastic panoramic views of the jungle-covered mountain range - the right vision will create magical additions to the already exceptional lodge.The views are not the only perks of this property – as the land is surrounded by wild and towering rainforests you can expect famous Costa Rican visitors – toucans, parrots, several species of monkeys (they often descend down to the pool area), blue morpho butterflies, hummingbirds, iguanas and countless other jungle animals, birds, and amphibians. And expect daily overflights by the brilliant and noisy scarlet macaws - Garza Island is their sanctuary and they leave every morning, scattering in many directions as they fly towards the hills and shores in search of whatever fruit or nut is in season.The sounds of the jungle permeate the atmosphere and you must get used to seeing infinite shades of blue in the Pacific Ocean and 50 shades of green in the rainforest that encroaches on the property from every direction. Tropical flowers, orchids and plants offer vivid splashes of colour.Your guests will experience a laid-back, resort-like atmosphere with the opportunity to enjoy adventures like no other in the Southern zone of Costa Rica. They will wake up to the smell of fresh coffee, bacon, scrambled eggs, toast, and fresh seasonal fruits.The lodge vicinity offers plenty of land to build a large sun deck/yoga platform as well as to expand the restaurant and to add an upper level for a lookout/lounge area - with 360-degree views, this would surely be an investment that pays!Are you ready to make your move? Create the lifestyle you have been dreaming about! This is an incredible WORK AND PLAY OPPORTUNITY. Do not miss out. Call us now for your personal tour.
