Big 2.46 Acres of Land on an End-Of-Street Lot Just Above Ojochal. Rainforests, Jungle River Border, Huge Flat Plantels and Nearly 100% Usable Area Make This a Very Attractive & Potentially Lucrative Offer.
LOCATION & PRIVACY
Located high above (but minutes away from) Ojochal’s central area, this large lot offers a peaceful oasis in the middle of Costa Ballena’s famous expat enclave. At 170 meters or 560 feet above sea level, the land benefits from refreshing breezes and a slightly cooler climate.
The end-of-road location ensures total privacy & security. The property’s river and surrounding lowland rainforests put you in the thick wonderland of a primeval jungle – but a hot barista coffee, a traditional Gallo Pinto breakfast or a fancy dinner are just a quick stroll away!
The lot is flat and multi-levelled. Huge, level plantels stretch all throughout the lot, inviting many development and construction options. Legal water is available at the property – a huge bonus.
ACCESS
The property is easily accessed via a scenic 4 km drive from the Costanera Sur Highway, all but 300m of it being paved. Turning off the highway, you will enter the main road, Calle Principal, and cross a brand-new bridge at the entrance to Ojochal. The route then winds through the town and surrounding neighbourhoods, businesses, jungles & rivers. Just after passing through the main developed centre of the town, the road passes thick rainforests where a final, 100m span takes you from the public road to the property entrance.
THE RAINFORESTS, ANIMALS & RIVER
The end-of-road location, protected riverside jungles and inaccessible slopes just behind the property ensure that the land is, and always will be, surrounded by towering lowland rainforests. And an important wildlife corridor passes through the land on its way to the mountains. Just 1.5km away, the peaks rise sharply to reach 1,100m or 3,600 feet above sea level. Those high cloud forests are home to jaguars and tapirs as well as many other creatures which live in or utilize the corridor that connects straight to Corcovado National Park.
Macaws, toucans, blue morpho butterflies, monkeys, sloths and many other critters will be your new neighbours. And the dawn & dusk jungle chorus is surreal – but it can be your everyday reality.
The star of this land is the GIANT Ceiba tree which stands sentinel over the land. Legend say that the Ceiba is a pillar which supports the heavens – it is a revered tree in many local traditions. A truly spectacular rand awe-inspiring creation, this tree will be a focal point of any future development.
The land borders Tortuga River, a brisk mountain waterway which is always cool & refreshing and a favourite for dry season dips. This river experiences full flow year-round and its lower reaches are lively with kids & families picnicking, swimming or playing along its banks.
THE VIEWS
Thick mountain and jungle views are glanced from every direction – as is the abundant wildlife, orchids, beautiful tropical plants and tropical life in all her glory. You are truly living in the middle of a rainforest paradise.
The coastal mountains and their nearly vertical slopes are forever in motion with clouds, mists, and seasonal waterfalls that fall hundreds of meters. At times, clouds flow down these slopes and race towards Ojochal, a magical effect. You can spend hours watching the interplay of peaks, ridges, jungles, mists and clouds.
And, of course, the spectacular Ceiba tree is visible from every nook and cranny of the land.
What an Offer! A large plot of nearly 100% flat land with Tortuga River border, a magical Ceiba tree, and a mix of privacy & proximity to Ojochal – an unbeatable combination. Call REMAX to secure a viewing and see the majestic Ceiba sentinel for yourself!
