Jungle Home with Riverfront and Orchard in Ojochal Costa Rica

A HUGE 12-acre CENTRAL Ojochal jungle/river property with a 4-bed home, 2-bed cabin holding a beauty salon, a separate workshop & commercial pizza oven, a tropical fruit orchard and a fenced-in dog park plus TEN plantels!  

This is perhaps the HOTTEST local opportunity for a serious investor or developer – with several vectors of potential in a stunning jungle river location while surrounded by the rapidly developing town of Ojochal. With easy access, a secure gate and large internal driveway, development options abound. 

THE OPPORTUNITY 

These 12 acres of largely forested land, including a river that borders ½ of the entire property, is located just over 2km from the Costanera highway and smack in the middle of Ojochal’s exclusive housing neighborhoods. The property holds a 4-bedroom + office home plus two additional structures – a 2-bed cabin currently operating as a fully equipped beauty / massage salon and a large workshop stacked with tools and professional pizza-making equipment – ready to be turned into a jungle pizza restaurant! But the greatest potential lies in the (at least) 10 plantels which can be sub-divided or turned into short-term rental like Airbnb, a retirement community or larger hotel / resort. Or how about an exclusive eco or rejuvenation getaway, a spiritual retreat centre, or even a mini-plaza where additional businesses can be constructed? Because the property is immersed in high-end housing developments, the local residents would LOVE a one-stop shop where they can check multiple items off their lists! The land holds towering rainforests, rivers, swim holes, streams and waterfalls – all accessible via a prepared path which leads through the magical jungles full of animals, orchids and stunning plants.  

THE MAIN HOUSE 

This open-concept home welcomes with a grande staircase and HUGE covered front deck which opens directly, via a foldable glass wall, into the massive open-concept kitchen / living / dining area. A dining table for 8, numerous sofas & lounges, big screen TV and a fully equipped kitchen that spans the length of the space make for a very smart use of this area. The huge master bedroom amazes with an incredible walk-in closet and beautiful, large ensuite while the other three bedrooms are equally impressive – with white walls, grey tiles and beautiful lumber furnishings, the lightness and airiness of tropics easily fills these spaces. In addition, a home office occupies another small room. A gorgeous, tiled emerald swimming pool adjoins the front deck and looks onto the jungle surrounds. The home is fully air-conditioned and equipped with solar power.  

THE TWO-BED CABIN (BEAUTY SALON) 

This air-conditioned structure holds a large central area plus two rooms. The central area is being utilized as a beauty salon – with a basin chair, a beauty station, and full equipment of towels, tools & products this business is currently operating and turning a profit. The kitchenette and direct access to the covered front patio will cater to your clients while they wait or relax. One of the adjacent rooms holds a massage table while the other is being used as an office / consultation space. Conveniently, a full bathroom / shower also share this space. A perfect self-contained business with large windows that take advantage of the rainforest surrounds.  

THE WORKSHOP / PIZZA KITCHEN 

This space can open into the covered front deck via foldable patio windows. Inside you will find a bright room equipped with a commercial pizza oven, commercial food mixer, as well as a table and shelving. The adjoining room holds a large tool rack, a work bench and a variety of drills, grinders, saws and dozens of other tools. There is a potential to develop a small Italian restaurant here… 

KENNELL & OUTDOOR GYM 

A huge, fenced-in outdoor dog park and kennels could allow for the operation of a dog hotel, and many local residents are in need of these services when they vacation away from Costa Ballena. And to have one in the middle of Ojochal would be a God-sent.  

A large private outdoor gym is currently under construction. 

FRUIT ORCHARD 

A tropical fruit orchard with dozens of tasty varieties will offer fresh produce any time of the year.  

NATURE 

Most of the land sits under a rich canopy of tropical lowland rainforests. A river borders ½ of the land – and additional rivers & streams crisscross the property. These waterways hold swim holes, natural swimming pools, waterfalls, and carry a relaxing, natural burble – all easily accessible via prepared paths. Animals that Costa Rica is famous for make their home here – monkeys, macaws, sloths, parrots, anteaters, beautiful blue morpho butterflies, pizotes, and even some wildcats can all be expected.  

Such a huge, beautiful, accessible, jungle-immersed central Ojochal property with SO MANY development options is a rare find indeed – a hotel, restaurant, resort, Airbnb, retirement community, beauty retreat, dog hotel, gym & fitness center, spiritual gateway – these are just some of the possibilities, and you can always mix and match!
