THE OFFER
This unique offer combines a beautiful 4 bed home – a marvel of design, craftsmanship and taste – with a large rectangular lot which holds 2 plantels and borders the crystal clear Ballena River. The river, swimholes and waterfall are accessible via a prepared path from the lot. The house straddles the east side of a ridge, at approximately 250m asl. The lot borders the eastern section of the house property and descends, through the rainforests, towards the river valley at approximately 170m asl.

THE LOCATION
Situated in the upper reaches of the sought-after Union Road address, these bordering properties straddle a ridge over 250 meters above the nearby resort town of Uvita. But you wouldn’t know it as the house & lot look onto the seemingly endless mountain, valley and rainforest vistas that stretch to the east, mere foothills of the towering 4000-meter Cordillera Central range…so the vibe is a true ‘middle of nowhere Costa Rica’ feeling that is only betrayed by knowing that a few minutes’ drive will bring you to the exclusive cafes, classy restaurants, boutique shops, supermarkets, surf schools, vibrant tourist beaches, doctors, dentists, lawyers and all the other services and amenities of Uvita.

THE HOUSE
The home’s bright and airy atmosphere is unmissable – and the line between ‘outside’ and ‘inside’ is absolutely blurred! The upstairs kitchen and three bedrooms open directly towards the patio and infinity pool area, their sliding glass doors flawlessly blending the rooms into the exterior entertainment & relaxation space. Plentiful outside seating, poolside lounges and a BBQ will ensure this will be the most popular corner of the house – the sheer beauty and meticulous design of the space is impossible to convey.

THE LOT

The roughly rectangular lot descends from near the top of the ridge down to the deep valley river, a fall from 250m to 170m asl, approximately. This lot contains two large plantels situated near the top of the property while most of the area is covered by a rainforest which extends all the way down to the river. Plantel 1 is approximately 400 sqm and Plantel 2 is 300 sqm.  The current owner holds confirmed plans for the construction of a luxury 3-bedroom house with a pool and ample parking – and since legal water is confirmed, construction can start. 
THE RIVER & WATERFALL

THE SETTING & TROPICAL ANIMALS

The soaring coastal mountains are the stars of the properties - in the summer their vibrant tropical slopes stand in stark contrast to the deep blue sky and brilliantly white fair-weather clouds. The green season brings towering waterfalls that descend their nearly vertical slopes. Just below the property a mountain river cuts a steep channel on its way to the nearby Pacific. Such a proximity to nature and wide range of nearby habitats will bring plenty of jungle wildlife to the property – monkeys (howler, capuchin, squirrel and spider), scarlet macaws, several species of toucans and toucanets, sloths, anteaters, poison dart frogs, tree frogs, giant moths, coatis, brilliant blue morpho butterflies and many other critters will be your new tropical neighbors.
WATER

Legal Water is a big deal in our area – and this property excels with a 7,500 liter water tank and authorized access to the pristine, crystal-clear treasure of the nearby mountain river. This setup is plentiful for satisfying all the needs of the property including current & future household, pool, and irrigation use. This is pure rainwater which filters down the slopes of the nearby mountains – you will not only marvel at the view but also drink the view (whether with a splash of lemon, in your tea or coffee, or gracing your tropical margarita).
