Jungle, Rivers, a Waterfall and Panoramic Ocean View

A newly renovated jungle-immersed house with spectacular views, a magical mountain creek and a swim hole under a sparkling waterfall but only 5 minutes’ walk to the restaurants and cafes of cosmopolitan Ojochal.  

Imagine having the best of both worlds – a house in the buzzing village of Ojochal with her world-class restaurants, boutique shops, fitness and leisure facilities and full services and amenities AND being immersed by jungles that stretch all the way up the 1,200 – metre coastal mountains which, literally, sit in your boundless backyard! And I haven’t even told you that this property contains a refreshing jungle creek with a surreal waterfall and swimhole – all private and secure for the enjoyment of your family and friends!  

This house is truly exceptional in form, design and surroundings. Situated in the foothills of the coastal mountains it is less than 1 km away from the centre of Ojochal – a 5 minute walk to Tagua Café could be your morning routine, while the locally famous Los Gatos Locos restaurant/live music venue is 15 minutes’ walk from the house. But you are well-insulated from the hussle and bustle of Ojochal as the property is the only house on that side of the road, is elevated and nearly surrounded by tropical rainforests! A mountain river descending through 200 metres of the northern border of the lot provides further tranquillity with her ever-present burble that drowns out the outside bustle. A separate private creek, right next the house, is surrounded by towering trees – in less than a minute you can descent from the living room to its waterfall, swimhole and cool and refreshing waters! The constant hum of the river and creek, together with the jungle animal chorus, give this place a truly magical feel.  

The house stretches over three levels, connected by outdoor and interior staircases and verandas, designed with ease of use and functionality in mind. A paved road leads to two separate parking areas with automatic gates and space for three+ cars, making the house an ideal Airbnb rental – whether you want to put the whole house on the rental market or just the bottom self-contained level. Additionally, the minimal 15m setback along the 200-metre river waterfront allows for the construction of additional homes, structures or cabins – you may wish to build another private residence, a home office, a fitness studio or construct cabins to use as income-producing rental units. All levels of the house offer ocean, jungle, mountain, creek and river views – from the patios, verandas and interior areas.  

The bottom level, with its own access gate and driveway, includes a plunge pool with amazing views and a large bedroom, self-contained with a full bathroom facility – there is also an outside shower. An outside deck leads to the azure pool - prefect for a hot coffee followed by a morning dip! Next to the pool, a staircase descends to follow a path towards the river, swim hole and waterfall – perhaps a shower under the waterfall before you start your day? 

The second level is the main living area and it too is accessed by a separate gate and driveway. A large veranda and HUGE covered patio, extending to give panoramic views, is perfect for relaxing, entertaining, or enjoying a meal or drink in the tranquillity of nature. The overhanging roof and multiple ceiling fans ensure the patio can be enjoyed in all weather conditions! This level holds a large kitchen and another bedroom with a bathroom.  

The third level also boasts a large patio with equally impressive views. This level is very open and bright, holding a large central space and an adjoining bedroom with a bathroom and a very cool feature – a ‘hanging shower’. The shower extends into the space outside of the house - it is very bright, airy and provides amazing jungle views and tropical vibes all around.  

While the layout and location of the house are as good as you can find, the real bonus is the nearby creek and waterfall – accessible from the bottom level via a well-designed system of stairs and paths, the creek is less than a minute away. A small waterhole at the foot of the waterfall can be easily enlarged to create an oasis of serenity – one you can visit every single day, alone or with company, a hot coffee or cold drink in tow.   

To say that this property is extremely unique and rare is an understatement! Ojochal living with serene jungle vibes, quick walking distance to restaurants and cafes, plus a secret creek and waterfall just steps away!
