Modern Jungle Home with Easy Access in Ojochal
Modern Jungle Home with Easy Access in Ojochal
This home is a modern design that maximizes the views of the surrounding jungles. This house is on a quiet road off Cinco Ventanas, away from local traffic, providing peace and serenity. Rainforests surround this 2.18 acre elevated property from every direction, creating a unique atmosphere that remains captivating. A mountain river flows around the lot, surrounded by jungles. If you consider a larger project, the adjacent property is also available for purchase. This property is 1.69 acres and can support structures like homes or cabins or be utilized as a fruit orchard, farm, or space for entertainment, exercise, or relaxation.
How do you make the most of this tropical location, right in Costa Rica’s rainforest? Design a unique indoor/outdoor living room. This living space features two distinct areas – a spacious outdoor section with a clear ceiling and glass walls. Light will enter every corner, making the space bright and welcoming. Couches, seats, tables, and chill-out areas, along with a dining table and big-screen TV, will make this functional room the highlight of the house. And it will shine in any weather – whether it's sunny or raining heavily. You will stay dry and comfortable while observing the jungles, storms, or the animals and sounds of a tropical rainforest. Can you imagine falling asleep to the sound of raindrops on the roof or the roars of Howler Monkeys visiting your house while patrolling their territory?
The second part of this living room is within the house, occupying a spacious area that includes a dining room and a fully-equipped kitchen. The indoor living room has couch seating, a coffee table, and a big screen TV. A natural-lumber dining table is a work of art, and the granite kitchen with a breakfast bar will be enjoyable to use. The master bedroom and en-suite open directly to the patio, featuring a desk, wall-mounted TV, and storage area that enhance this spacious room. The second bedroom has an en-suite and includes a small couch. A third bedroom is ideal for kids, featuring a bunk bed, a big-screen TV, a desk, and ample shelving and storage.
The house is bright with white tiles, walls, and high ceilings. The ample glazing and ceiling windows create a sunny atmosphere even on cloudy days. Two tones of furniture – natural wood and a steely gray – complement each other and the bright white surroundings.
A 2-vehicle carport will protect you and your cars from rain and sun. The large covered patio includes a BBQ and seating options under a high roof. In front of the patio, a large swimming pool offers a natural backdrop – tropical shrubs, coconut palms, and rainforests filled with monkeys, macaws, toucans, sloths, blue morpho butterflies, and other jungle animals. An extra gravel area will hold several vehicles for social events or family gatherings.
The Rio Media Luna flows to the Pacific, winding around the property. This mountain river is surrounded by rainforests with ancient trees and sprawling roots. A place for your morning coffee or afternoon drink, a few stones can create a cool swim-hole to enjoy year-round.
There are gas stations, restaurants, cafes, shops, grocers, legal and real estate offices, medical and dental clinics, and a small water park at Plaza Ventanas, which is 1km away and a few minutes’ drive from the property (look for the giant dinosaur statues). In a few minutes (1.5 km), you reach the Pacific waters of Playa Ventanas with its sea-caves. If you turn left, in just 2 km you can find cafes, restaurants, supermarkets, hairdressers, tennis and pickle-ball courts, gyms, yoga studios, and more in Ojochal. I'm only highlighting a small part of what you can discover within a 1–10 minute car ride!
