Ocean View Home with Guesthouse in Balsar | 4 Bed / 4 Bath

High in the hills of Balsar, about 2,000 feet above Ciudad Cortés, this fully furnished home has one of the widest views in Costa Rica's Southern Pacific zone. The coastline runs south down the Osa Peninsula toward Drake Bay and Corcovado. You can see white water breaking along the shore and jungle-covered mountains in every direction. At night the lights of Cortés glitter below.

The main residence has three bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms, and almost every room is set up to take in the scenery. Large windows fill the open living, dining and kitchen area with light. The kitchen has quality stainless steel appliances, a recessed pantry and a breakfast bar. Two of the bedrooms are true suites. Each has a full ensuite bath finished in stone and tile, local hardwood furnishings, a walk-in closet and its own door to the terrace. The third bedroom has a separate entrance and a shared half bath, so it works well as a guest room or a quiet home office.

Most of your time here will probably be spent outside. A screened patio off the living area is the spot for morning coffee or long dinners with friends. The pool looks straight out to the ocean, and a big terraza with a rancho gives you room to spread out. A spiral staircase leads up to a rooftop deck with 360-degree views, a natural place for sunrise yoga or for watching the sun drop into the Pacific.

At the front of the property is a self-contained guesthouse with one bedroom, a full bathroom and its own kitchen. Use it for visiting family, a relative staying long term, or rental income.

The home is sold turnkey, with all furniture, kitchenware and even the big TV included. Just bring your clothes and groceries. For expat buyers planning a relocation, this is Costa Rica real estate you can move straight into, offered at $449,000.

This Ojochal property for sale puts you close to one of the most loved communities on the coast. Ojochal is known as the culinary heart of the Southern Zone, with a friendly international community and quiet beaches nearby. Uvita and Dominical are a short drive up the coast.
