Discover a unique opportunity to own 2.93 hectares of flat, fully usable land in the heart of Ojochal, complete with a charming 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom home full of original character. This exceptional property offers easy access no 4x4 required and the potential for beautiful mountain views.

Location

Ideally situated on the quiet corner of Calle El Cacique, this property offers a rare sense of privacy and intimacy seldom found in this sought after neighborhood.

Owned by the original owner since the subdivision of Ojochal in the early 1990s, the land has been carefully preserved, featuring private nature trails that wind through the 2.93 hectare forest behind the home. This unique offering within Costa rica real estate presents outstanding development potential, ideal for a private estate, boutique project, or subdivision into two 1 hectare lots plus one 0.93 hectare lot, all with access via a dedicated road while maintaining privacy between future residences.
The property borders a traditional local family farm on one side and a nine lot residential development along Calle del Bosque on the other. With 56 meters of street frontage, accessibility is excellent.

The location is highly convenient:

Just 100 meters from the paved road

600 meters to the local school and convenience store

Minutes from supermarkets, pharmacies, restaurants, shops, and community amenities

Close to the entrance of Ojochal with its vibrant dining and commercial scene

The property is also ideally positioned for outdoor living, a key reason why demand for Ojochal real estate continues to grow. Within minutes you’ll find multiple beaches, including Playa Tortuga just one kilometer west, as well as the scenic Río Tortuga to the north, known for its swimmable areas, mountain trails, waterfalls, and abundant opportunities for hiking, biking, birdwatching, and nature exploration.

The Property & Home

A long gravel driveway welcomes you through a beautifully landscaped garden to the residence and covered carport. The home’s main entrance is at the rear, where a spacious covered patio runs the length of the house perfect for outdoor dining, entertaining, yoga, or simply relaxing while enjoying the peaceful garden and surrounding forest views. From here, access paths lead directly into the private forest.

At the west end of the patio, a pathway leads to a 9 m² cement block bodega and laundry room built just four years ago.

The home itself combines an original one room residence built in 1997 with a thoughtfully designed 150 m² cement block extension completed four years ago. The expansion was crafted with careful attention to detail, blending seamlessly with the original structure while creating a distinctive character.
