Imagine having the best of both worlds – a house in the buzzing village of Ojochal with her world-class restaurants, boutique shops, fitness and leisure facilities and full services and amenities AND being flanked by jungles that stretch all the way up the 1,300 metre (4,300 foot) coastal mountains which, literally, sit in your boundless natural playground just across the street!
And I didn’t even mention that this amazing property is blessed by a relaxing ambience of a nearby river!
In the foothills of the coastal mountains, this house 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. Grocery stores, a pharmacy, a gas station and even a carwash are just a few minutes’ drive away, as are multiple eateries, pubs and many other services. But you are well-insulated from the hustle and bustle of Ojochal as the property is elevated above the outskirts of the town with a full buffer of towering trees all around – and with no houses on the opposing side of the road there are nothing but tropical rainforests and imposing coastal mountains behind you! A nearby mountain river, flowing just behind the house, provides further comfort and tranquillity with her ever-present burble.
The constant hum of the river, together with the jungle animal chorus, give this place a truly magical feel.
Macaws, toucans, monkeys, oropendolas, hummingbirds, and electrifying blue morpho butterflies are commonly seen and heard in the area – these creatures will be your new neighbours!
This single-level property ensures easy access to every corner of the house. A paved road leads nearly all the way to the driveway, the last stretch being a well-prepared unpaved section which breaks away from the main road to travel up a small hill. You will stay dry as the carport is attached to the house and the front area is covered by an expansive overhanging roof. The entrance takes you into the central kitchen / living space with two bedrooms, all featuring ensuites, on your left and right. Two additional rooms offer utilities – the first serves as a practical laundry room with a washer and dryer, and the second as a valuables storage room including a safe and storage shelves, all secured with safety doors and grilles. Up ahead panoramic windows and patio doors open into beautiful green jungle and ocean views. The large pool and deck area are perfect for relaxing, whether you want to enjoy the full sun or retreat into the shade of the covered areas of the patio. On your left a third bedroom and ensuite can be used as guest / service staff accommodation or rented as a separate Airbnb or longer-term rental offer – this room is only accessible from the outside patio, not from within the house. An adjacent outside kitchen with a gas stove, fridge, BBQ and a large table allows for the third bedroom occupiers to live within a self-contained area separate from the main house.
All around the house you will find beautifully landscaped oases of tranquility. At the front a large natural garden in the shade of beach almond, banana, coconut and other trees offers a midday retreat while at the back, numerous lounges allow for early morning or evening relaxation. The large pool with tropical views, equipped with a saltwater system so harsh chemical treatments are NOT required, will endlessly entertain your family and visitors – an early morning plunge before your hot coffee or a late afternoon dip to fall back into the cool waters and enjoy the sounds of the twilight jungle while watching the nightly crimson sunset? This is tropical life at her finest!
