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 – call REMAX today to arrange a viewing.
