Description

Jungle, mountain, waterfall and ocean-view 4 bedroom luxury home plus multi-structure property with orchards, Airbnb history and room for further development on 71 acres of land! This property is truly exceptional, with ZERO exaggeration! Three homes (a total of 7 bedrooms), 2 private creeks and 2 waterfalls, refreshing swim holes, frontage on the Coronado River, one of the biggest exotic fruit orchards on offer in Costa Rica, a large greenhouse, sprawling gardens with many walking trails, plantels for additional developments, and views that stretch across the Pacific Ocean, mountains, jungles and deep river valleys. Already a successful Airbnb business, there is so much more potential here!  

The land is nestled on the lush rainforest-covered slopes of the towering coastal mountains – nature immersion at her finest! Monkeys, macaws, oropendolas, sloths, anteaters and countless other jungle creatures are at home here – and so is the majestic Jaguar, an animal that has been seen roaming the jungle just outside the gardens. Jaguars are finicky creatures, only making their home in the most natural and undisturbed surroundings – and this attests to this property’s pristine location! But don’t think you are isolated – the local expat community is very lively, friendly and adventurous - social events and get-togethers are plentiful and all the services and amenities that Costa Ballena is famous for can be found just a few minutes’ drive away. The nearby Tres Rios and Ojochal provide upscale dining options – a local secret is the gourmet Vayu restaurant. This is a very unique and hard-to-find offer, and we are just getting started!  

THE PROPERTY Touching a public road, the property is located within a secure gated community, watched over by a night guard. 3 homes and a greenhouse sit in natural park-like surroundings while the coastal mountains, rainforest slopes, lush valleys and the pocket ocean views provide background scenery – and around Christmas you can enjoy the seasonal and fiery Pacific Ocean sunsets! Spring-fed and unchlorinated community water is delivered to all structures and is backed up by an auxiliary water tank for emergency use. Perched on the wall of the Coronado River canyon, the land straddles a descending jungle-covered slope, providing an exceptional exposure to nature’s splendor - unmatched serenity and peace are on offer. The well-prepared and maintained internal road meanders through the greenery touching the Plantels, 1-Bedroom Casita, Greenhouse and 2- Bedroom House before descending towards the Main House and the Orchards, Botanical Garden and Waterfall a few hundred meters away.  

THE MAIN HOUSE The main house is an architectural masterpiece of quality design and a true ‘castle in the jungle’ (just look at the aerial photos)! Made of solid concrete construction and incorporating high vaulted ceilings, the single level luxury home holds 4 private bedrooms - each with king canopy bed and en-suite full bathroom plus 1 shared bath and a large central kitchen / dining / lounge area which opens up into the covered patio, attached ranchito and million-dollar views. And here is where you find the refreshing infinity pool, jacuzzi, BBQ, and outdoor dining and lounge areas. The house takes full advantage of its magnificent location, with every room having a unique spectacular view. The waterfall can be seen and heard from the house. Each room is air-conditioned and is provided with outdoor access so that the splendid natural views are just a few steps away. An extra-large 2.5-car drive-through garage contains a large bodega, so storage will never be a problem. The home is a successful 5-star Airbnb property - its excellent income-generating history can be provided upon completion of an NDA.  

THE 2-BEDROOM HOUSE This new house features a bedroom with a loft, large open-air screened-in kitchen, beautiful covered patio living and dining areas and a large backyard with a jacuzzi and outdoor shower – plus plenty of parking or playroom up front. The interior is finished with real wood ceilings, granite countertops, handsome earth tone tile and quality appliances including a gas stove and electric oven. Views stretch across the towering jungle-covered coastal mountains.  

THE 1-BEDROOM CASITA This new construction is decked out with granite countertops and beautiful custom-made wood cabinetry. This cozy cabina features floor to ceiling screens, taking advantage of the cool breezes available at this altitude. It offers sweeping mountain views and is bordered, on two sides, by towering jungles and a nearby burbling rainforest creek.  

THE GREENHOUSE The brand new 200sqm greenhouse features 3 huge, raised garden beds and plenty of additional space for storage of gardening supplies and equipment. The chain link perimeter fence provides full ventilation and holds back the jungle animals from your produce while the translucent roof allows diffused sunlight to filter into the space. Dozens of vegetable and herb varieties can be grown to provide you and your family with year-round freshness and nutrition!  

THE ORCHARDS Dozens of fruit trees are thriving on the sprawling hillside orchards – this is in fact one of the most extensive tropical and exotic fruit gardens available for sale in Costa Rica! The perfect valley location shelters the trees while the rich soil ensures the most plentiful yield. Not just for the fruit, the orchards contain a variety of flowers and with their meandering pathways, jungle frontage and clear views of the waterfall they double as a serene park that can be enjoyed every morning, hot coffee in hand. The full orchard inventory of tree species is provided at the bottom of this page.  

THE WATERFALLS The private jungle-immersed 60-foot waterfall is one of the stars of this amazing property. Clearly visible from the main house and the orchards, the soothing sound of the falling water provides a relaxing year-round ambience. Below the waterfall, a natural swim hole will keep you cool on those warm summer days and delight your family and guests. The waterfall can be accessed by vehicle or a short hike. But wait, there’s more – the same river has a 2nd waterfall, also located on the property, but a bit higher up the river – this one accessible only by foot.  

THE SPRINGS, CREEKS AND RIVER The property borders the Coronado River, one of the larger rivers in our area. Several creeks also make their way through the valleys which descend the property. One of the creeks, flowing year-round, carries enough flow and fall to support a small hydroelectric plant!  

ADDITIONAL PLANTELS Several additional plantels could be developed into homes, guest homes, cabins, or perhaps a restaurant, café, retreat center, fitness facility or a yoga studio… The property has already proven itself to be a successful commercial venture so any further additions will only enhance its money-generating potential. All utilities such as water, electricity and wifi are available so the shovels can hit the ground with minimal delay!  

I hope you are convinced that this offer is truly a one-of-a-kind, ‘best of what’s around’ property – its potential is unimaginable, and the right entrepreneur is sure to do something amazing here! This property must be seen to be appreciated (and believed)! For someone not commercially inclined, the property can be used as a tropical family compound with room available to build homes for more family members as they appear! RE/MAX is waiting for your call because you know this property is EXACTLY what you have been looking for!
