A 3-Bed Home on Ojochal’s Main Street, Calle Principal – Yet With a Jungle River Backyard, Fruit Trees and Huge Manicured Lawns, This Estate is a Breath of Peace & Wilderness in Our Cosmopolitan Jungle Town.

🚗 LOCATION & ACCESS

Located just outside Ojochal’s bustling central area, this home is a peaceful oasis in the middle of Costa Ballena’s famous expat enclave. The reason for this advantage is the backyard river – it parallels Calle Principal and because both banks are protected, an 800m-long buffer strip of towering jungle trees separates this quiet street from the main developed area of Ojochal. This green reserve will NEVER be developed, so your serenity is safe FOREVER.

The property is easily accessed via a scenic 3 km drive from the Costanera Sur Highway. Turning off the highway, you will enter the main road, Calle Principal, and cross a brand-new bridge at the entrance to Ojochal. The route then winds through the town and surrounding neighborhoods, businesses, jungles & rivers. You simply stay on Calle Principal until you reach the house – conveniently, this is your street. Two gates welcome you home, with one leading to the house and the other to the backyard area.

The land stretches between Calle Principal and the mountain river. The home occupies a corner of the property with the rest of the land covered by a manicured lawn, fruit trees, potted plants and a jungle river oasis. The river forms the western border of the land while the other three sides are marked by a beautiful natural ‘living fence’ hedge.

🏠 THE HOUSE

The current owner, an architect & builder by trade, ensured that the design and construction of this house is top-notch. It is a very strong and solid home, on a sturdy concrete block and stocked with the most exquisite & beautiful Laurel lumber fitouts.

An electric gate & attached carport welcomes you to the property. A side carport entrance puts you into the combined kitchen & living area. On the left, the fully equipped kitchen & breakfast bar look onto Calle Principal and towering jungles that envelop the opposite side of the street. To the right, the living area with a big screen TV and very comfortable leather couches opens directly to the beautiful backyard patio. And in the corner, a shared bathroom & shower, and a master bedroom with sliding door access to the patio, occupy the crook of the home. On the other side of the kitchen / living area are two additional bedrooms and the other bathroom. One bedroom is outfitted as a nursery and the other, with sliding door access to the patio, is currently used as storage / free space with a work station.

The marvelous outdoor covered patio, which doubles as the dining area, impresses with a majestic single-slab lumber dining table & seating for eight. The patio holds a sink, BBQ, and an enclosed & fully equipped laundry area with large basins and bountiful storage space. Plentiful lighting, potted plants, accents, and fitouts make this patio appear as if it was another room of the home – it is cozy yet blesses with amazing jungle views. An above-ground pool, just off the patio, completes the offering.

The bathrooms are beautifully designed, each with its own vibe. Artesian tiling and inlays make use of Mediterranean tiles in one and a beautiful geometric Scandinavian design in the other, their sleek frameless LED mirrors and monsoon showers making your morning routine a breeze. A security system with high quality cameras offer peace of mind, and air conditioning is provided throughout the structure.
