Elevated 2.2-Acre Jungle and Creek-Front Lot with Mountain Views in Ojochal, Costa Rica

Bordered by a public road, towering jungle, and a creek, with a burbling mountain river just across the street, this property offers a HUGE plantel and a blank canvas for your dream project – whether residential or commercial in nature! Located inside the rapidly transforming town of Ojochal, all the services you will ever need are a short walk or a quick drive away – cafes, pubs, restaurants, pharmacies and supermarkets, tourist shops, dentists and doctors, lawyers, trips and excursions, the world-famous Playa Ventanas and the Instagram-ready Pavon Waterfall, amongst many many others. But you would never know it – as this property, elevated above the road and a few nearby homes, offers 360-degree mountain and jungle views. At the back, a vibrant rainforest and a year-round creek induce a middle-of-nowhere vibe. In the front, the coastal mountains come into view – rising sharply to over 1,300 metres (4,300 feet) in elevation, the valleys and ridges are covered by primary jungles and often enveloped in dancing clouds and mists. After a rainfall, huge waterfalls – some hundreds of meters in height – descend down the nearly vertical slopes. Because the lot is elevated the public road, paved nearly all the way to the driveways, is not in view and instead all you see is a lush canopy of the forests which line the descending mountain river.  

The location is perfect for either a residential or commercial development (or both)? The large size of the plantel, central location, and beautiful panoramic views make it ideal for a small retirement community or a block of rental homes or apartments. Many such developments have sprung up around Ojochal and they are snatched up before the shovels hit the ground! These homes are built to be small and compact, and such a large plantel could herald a very profitable development. Or how about a boutique hotel, a nature-immersed restaurant, or a sport and fitness facility? A yoga retreat? So many options! 

On the residential side a sprawling hacienda with a huge pool and deck area, guest house, garden and orchard, and plenty of parking spots can easily fit the plantel with a lot of space left over! If you want to think smaller, a modest house surrounded by a HUGE garden, orchard, permaculture farm or natural green area can delight in its simplicity and communion with surrounding nature. The bordering creek will provide year-round water for any gardening needs.  

 OJOCHAL – it is THE place to be – a hot real estate market driven by the town’s tropical surroundings, services and amenities, and proximity to some of the most scenic beaches, waterfalls and landscapes of Costa Rica. The town is known as an international village due to her popularity as a destination for locals, expats and tourists alike. And the restaurants around Ojochal and up in the surrounding hills have been described as world-class. But Ojochal is also a true jungle town with numerous mountain rivers, streams and waterfalls criss-crossing the area, and a canopy of towering trees immersing the local homes and businesses giving a true ‘jungle village’ vibe. Resident toucans, flocks of noisy scarlet macaws, howler and capuchin monkeys, sloths, majestic blue morpho butterflies and many other tropical animals complete the Ojochal experience! 

This property is 50m away from Eleven restaurant, 100m from a convenience store, 300m from a local carwash and traditional ‘soda’ eatery, 500m from the Jucaloa supermarket, 600m from the Los Gatos Locos restaurant and live music venue, and 1.2 km from  Exotica restaurant.  

High-speed internet, electricity and legal water are available at the property.  

This is a rare opportunity – a huge elevated plantel, in the town of Ojochal but with 360 degree natural views, a bordering creek, and the option of a lucrative commercial development – are YOU ready to realize your dream vision? Call RE/MAX today!
