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?
