Ocean, jungle & mountain views on a meticulously landscaped 3-home (+workshop) family compound high above the nature-immersed Tres Rios, with the total privacy & the security of a gated community!
This elevated lot overlooking tropical rainforests, coastal mountains and the Pacific Ocean is touched by beauty in every corner, nook and cranny. The expansive vistas, lush jungles, landscaped gardens, vibrant flowerbeds, stone pathways, and homes & swimming pools seamlessly blend to create a synergetic experience of wilderness, nature, and modern living. The fussy attention to every square inch of this wonderful property creates a vibe of tropical luxury – and for those who know, it is a vibe like no other!
The 10.9-acre lot holds three 2-bedroom homes (each with its own swimming pool), a large workshop, manicured gardens, sprawling orchards, four plantels, and two carports. While the nature immersion is total, the services and amenities of Tres Rios, Ojochal and nearby settlements are mere MINUTES away! But when you are here, modern civilization might as well not exist – because your neighbors are the monkeys, sloths, toucans, macaws, blue morpho butterflies, colorful poison dart frogs, oropendolas and all other creatures that Costa Rica is famous for! The sounds of a nearby river permeate every corner of the property.
ACCESS & PROPERTY
The property is accessed via a prepared and well-maintained public road. The security and privacy of a gated community will give you total peace of mind – a guard is on duty between 6am and 6pm, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, presiding over the only way in and out of the neighborhood. Prepared driveways lead away from the electric entrance gates taking you to the heart of the property. Each of the three homes is served by a concrete driveway, parking areas and a dedicated internet fiber optic line. A detached carport and an attached carport can shelter numerous vehicles while an automatic backup generator ensures an uninterrupted power supply. A 50,000-liter water tank is more than sufficient to serve the three homes, three pools and garden irrigation systems.
THE GROUNDS
The wild and mesmerizing tropical rainforest surrounds blend into one of the most beautifully landscaped grounds in our local area. Meticulously arranged and cared-for lawns & hedges, islands of tropical flowers bursting with colors, and towering shrub and tree arrangements are like something out of a painting! Picture-book stone pathways extend into every corner of this garden property.
Countless fruit trees are peppered throughout the lot, offering a daily taste of the tropics. Seasons will dictate which fruit make it to your kitchen basket every morning – a healthy natural shake, a fruit snack or tropical fruit salad to start your day with?
THE VIEWS
Spectacular views extend in every direction. Up front, the vibrant gardens dissolve into tropical jungles that extend down to the sprawling mangroves of the Térraba River estuary and the untamed Pacific coastlines. The ever-shifting Garza Island guides the mighty Térraba towards her ocean delta while, beyond the shores, the blue and whitewater Pacific vistas present an ever-changing canvas. Caño island, a precious nature reserve, stands sentinel at the horizon. To the left, Osa Peninsula and the world-famous Corcovado National Park slowly fade into the distance. Blazing oranges, reds and crimsons of the renowned Pacific Ocean sunsets are a sight to marvel – will you enjoy them from the swimming pool, the patio or a secret spot hidden in the gardens, a cold drink in hand? Turn around and the majestic coastal mountains rise steeply to over 1,300 meters – covered in virgin cloud forests and dancing mists, their nearly-vertical slopes are home to seasonal waterfalls, some hundreds of meters high.
MAIN HOUSE – 2 BED, 2 BATH, SWIMMING POOL
Nestled seamlessly into its natural surroundings, the main house is adorned with the inviting warmth of natural wood. The doors, cabinets, furniture and lofty ceilings all feature the same charming exotic hardwood trim, creating a harmonious and cozy ambiance – while vibrant nature-themed paintings and murals remind you what lies just outside the walls! The entrance guides you into a central nexus occupied by a large open-concept kitchen, dining and living areas, with the lofty ceiling elevating the spaciousness. Large windows and patio doors provide garden, jungle and ocean vistas.
The two bedrooms are huge, bright, airy, and surrounded by large walk out sliding doors that present nature-immersed views. Private outdoor showers accompany each bedroom, with one bedroom holding a full ensuite with an indoor shower, and the other a powder room.
Numerous pantries, storage areas, a large laundry room and even a de-humidified walk-in closet ensure that storage will never be an issue. An attached carport will keep you dry even in the most tropical of downpours. A sizable storage room, accessed from the outside, holds gardening & pool supplies.
At the back of the house a large covered patio with several lounge areas, the main dining area with seating for 10, a BBQ, and an outdoor kitchen with a full-sized fridge fronts the swimming pool and a large manicured lawn – and just beyond, the mountain, jungle and Pacific vistas capture attention from every corner of this patio, the true gem of this house. An accompanying soundtrack of the nearby mountain river completes the perfection.
UPPER GUESTHOUSE – 2 BED 2 BATH, PRIVATE WADING POOL
A staircase, meandering through landscaped grounds, leads to the upper guesthouse – the house can also be accessed via a concrete driveway. This is the larger of the two guest homes holding a living area including a fridge, two large and bright bedrooms, plenty of storage space including walk-in closets, and bathrooms with indoor & outdoor showers. Beautiful, bold artworks reflect the natural themes that peek into the home through the large windows and patio doors. Outside, a covered patio, pool and stunning views are on offer, A natural parking area surrounded by landscaped gardens provides a lush entranceway to this wonderful guesthouse.
LOWER GUESTHOUSE – 1 BED, 1 BATH with OUTDOOR SHOWER, PRIVATE POOL
The smaller of the two guest homes, this cute home also boasts breathtaking views, a covered patio area with an awning, a separate outdoor dining / seating area, and a large bedroom plus another bedroom / kitchen combined space. The roar of the nearby mountain river is a constant companion, as are the sounds of the surrounding jungle wilds. An outdoor pool presents a perfect sunset vantage point.
THE WORKSHOP
Located adjacent to the upper guest house, the separate workshop building holds a large functional area. The workshop can be utilized in a number of ways, from arts & crafts, to storage, to practical work and trades. The building is large, secure, well-lit and includes plenty of storage racks and bins.
TWO ADDITIONAL ORCHARDS / PLANTELS
A large bordering lot was purchased by the owner to provide a privacy buffer. The owner turned this land into a tropical orchard - holding dozens of fruit trees, the lot can be maintained as an orchard, developed to hold additional homes or structures, or sold by the buyer.
A plantel near the entrance gate, accessed via a private driveway, currently holds fruit trees but can also be developed. The land is elevated and provides the same amazing views as the rest of the property.
