A bright & modern 3-bed home offering TOTAL jungle emersion, a sunny elevated location, river frontage, a rainforest-backed swimming pool and unique indoor/outdoor living rooms – AND just a quick nature-walk away from the services and amenities of Plaza Ventanas!
OVERVIEW
This wonderful home, a modern masterpiece of function and lightness, is designed to take full advantage of the towering jungles that surround the property. Located on Cinco Ventanas road’s quiet, parallel off-shoot, this house is fully separated from the already sparse local traffic and enjoys total peace & serenity. Towering rainforests surround this 2.18 acre elevated property from every direction – a wall of green that creates a magical vibe you will never grow tired of. A crystal-clear mountain river, draped in jungles, winds her way around the lot. And if you envision a bigger project, the neighboring property is also for sale. This additional property is 1.69 acres in size and can accommodate structures such as homes or cabins or be used as a tropical fruit orchard, organic farm, or separate entertainment / exercise / relaxation area.
THE HOUSE
How do you take FULL ADVENTAGE of this premiere tropical location, literally inside Costa Rica’s vibrant & wildlife-filled rainforest??? Easy – you design a super-unique indoor/outdoor living room! This living space has two separate vibes – firstly, a large outside area with a translucent ceiling and fully glazed walls. Light will come through every nook & cranny, creating a bright and inviting space. Numerous couches, seats, tables and chill-out areas, together with a beautiful lumber dining table and big-screen TV, will ensure this functional room is the star of the house. And it will shine in every type of weather – be it a bright and sunny day or a tropical downpour. You will always stay dry and cozy while marveling at the jungles, lightning storms, or the animal encounters and wildlife symphonies of a tropical rainforest. And can you imagine falling asleep to the sound of raindrops hitting the roof - or the deep roars of Howler Monkeys which are sure to curiously visit your house while patrolling their territory?
The second part of this living room is fully ‘inside’ the house – occupying a large & airy open space together with a dining room and a large, fully-equipped kitchen. The indoor living room includes plenty of couch seating, a coffee table and a big screen TV. A beautiful natural-lumber dining table is a work of art while the granite kitchen with a breakfast bar will be a pleasure to use. The master bedroom & en-suite opens directly to the patio – a desk, wall-mounted TV and storage / closet area compliment this large room. The second bedroom, also featuring an en-suite, is similarly equipped – but in addition it holds a small couch. A third bedroom is a kids’ paradise – with a beautiful lumber bunk-bed, big-screen TV, a desk and plenty of shelving and storage.
The house is very bright and uplifting – the white tiles, walls and high ceilings, together with plentiful glazing and numerous ceiling windows, ensure a sunny & happy atmosphere even on the cloudiest of days. Two tones of furniture – in the styles of beautiful natural lumber and a sharp steely gray – compliment each other and the bright white surroundings.
CARPORT, PARKING, POOL & PATIO
A covered 2-vehicle carport will keep you & your cars dry and shaded – as will the large covered patio which holds a BBQ and plenty of seating options under a high overhanging roof. In front of the patio, a large sunny swimming pool presents the most natural of backdrops – brilliant tropical shrubs, coconut palms and soaring rainforests that are teeming with monkeys, macaws, toucans, sloths, brilliant blue morpho butterflies and many other jungle critters. And for social events or family gatherings, an additional gravel area will accommodate numerous vehicles.
RIVER & JUNGLES
The clear & refreshing Rio Media Luna, flowing to the nearby Pacific, winds her way around the property. This wild mountain river is surrounded by rainforests including ancient trees with amazing trunks and sprawling roots. A serene oasis for your morning coffee or afternoon drink, a few strategically placed stones can give rise to a refreshingly cool swim-hole to be enjoyed year-round!
LOCAL SERVICES & ATTRACTIONS
Amenities such as gas station, restaurants, cafes, shops, grocers, legal & real estate offices, medical & dental clinics, and even a small water-park are located at the famous Plaza Ventanas, 1km away and a few minutes’ drive from the property (you will recognize it by the giant dinosaur statues). Another few minutes (1.5 km) and you are standing in the warm Pacific waters of Playa Ventanas with her thundering sea-caves…or if you turn to the left, in no time (2 km) you can be enjoying the best of Ojochal - cafes, fine restaurants, supermarkets, hairdressers, tennis & pickle-ball, gyms & yoga studios, and so much more. And I am mentioning just a fraction of what you can find within a 1–10 minute car trip!
