Magnificent jungle, ocean, YEAR-ROUND sunsets & mountain views in an elevated nature-immersed Bali-style 2-bed, 2 bath home with a huge storage annex ready to be converted to a guest house, workshed, functional space or garage! 

With thick jungles and spectacular coastal mountains behind you, and vast ocean vistas up-front, this Punta Mala home captures the nature, beauty and essence of Costa Rica in one sweeping 360-degree panorama. Sitting nearly 600m above the nearby Pacific Ocean, fresh air and constant breezes bless & refresh on even the hottest of days. And with additional land for development & a potential guest-house conversion, you are invited to add your personal touch and vision to this amazing property! 

THE VIEWS & THE ANIMALS 

The ocean-sunset views speak for themselves – every night an explosion of color will transform the skies and waters into a canvas of yellows, oranges, reds, crimsons and purples. Flat Pacific horizons, Isla Ballena, wild rocky shoals and crashing waves of Playa Tortuga will be an everyday spectacle. The ocean vistas are framed by rolling hills and vast stretches of lush green jungles. Right behind you, the soaring slopes of the coastal mountains rise sharply to over 1,000 meters in elevation – in the green season, their rain and cloud forests are interrupted by waterfalls, some hundreds of meters in height. And all around you,  tropical rainforests are teeming with the wildlife Costa Rica is famous for – monkeys, macaws, toucans, blue morpho butterflies, wildcats and many other jungle critters will be your new neighbors! 

THE HOUSE 

Spellbinding views, spaciousness, airiness and the use of natural materials to reflect the wild surroundings are the key words of this wonderful home. The soaring timber roof features exposed framing and a cedar finish, gracing the house with warmth and classical charms – this magnificent roof extends from the exterior veranda straight to the interior of the home in a seamless transition. Tiled flooring covers both the outdoor and indoor areas of the home in a similar fashion. The Bali-styled interior takes maximum advantage of the refreshing ocean and mountain breezes which never disappoint to refresh and invigorate. 

A fully equipped kitchen with a large island, maximum storage and beautiful cedar cabinets is waiting for your gourmet touch. The kitchen opens into a dining area, living room and the stunning covered patio with ocean, mountain & jungle views. Two rooms amaze with the same panoramic vistas – the master bedroom with an en-suite and a second room currently used as an artist’s studio. Another bathroom, a laundry nook and many areas of plentiful storage complete the offering.  

A manicured lawn, sprawling veranda, large covered patio and a sunny outdoor sitting area provide plenty of fresh-air space – whether you choose to suntan, chill out under the shade of the roof or stay dry while watching a passing lightning storm, these spaces bless with a connection to the ever-present nature. Numerous seating options are scattered throughout these outdoor spaces. Below the house, manicured gardens descend underneath the patio and can be seeded with varieties of tropical fruit trees. 

LOCAL AREA 

The services and amenities of Ojochal, Palmar, and the Costanera highway are a short drive away – as are the spectacular natural attractions like Playa Ventanas and her thundering sea-caves, Playa Tortuga and her untamed shores, or the Instagram-famous Pavones waterfall with the overhanging bolder. Fine dining, cafes, pubs, supermarkets, a hospital, doctors & dentists, garden & hardware shops, lawyers & real estate agents, yoga & pickleball, and so much more is just around the corner – as is the large service town of Uvita and the nearby Marino Ballena National Park - a SCUBA, adventure and eco-tourism mecca.  

DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL 

A large annex, currently used as a storage space, features a bathroom and can be easily converted into a guest home or a garage – or perhaps a workspace, gym, yoga studio, home office, or a rental cabin? This annex is separated from the house and accessed via a paved walkway which winds its way through a landscaped garden. And the adjoining flat plantel can easily accommodate a swimming pool – an infinity pool with ocean vistas would be  perfect fit here!

A prepared public road branches away from the Costanera highway to make its way along a gorgeous 8 km of jungles, river crossings, hills and unforgettable vistas as it climbs towards the property where it is greeted by a large gravel carpark and a gorgeous entrance gate.
