Location: Ojochal, Puntarenas, Costa Rica
Elevated, Ridgetop, Jungle-Clad Lot Located in a Popular Ojochal-Area Gated Condominium Neighbourhood Puesta del Sol (Sunset Point). Privacy & Peace due to 24/7 electronic & manned access gates & a No-Exit Street Location.
LOCATION
Sitting in a rainforest-enclosed dead-end street (but minutes away from) Ojochal’s bustling central area, this lot gifts a peaceful oasis in the middle of Costa Ballena’s famous expat enclave. The nearly end-of-road location and 24/7 gated and staffed access control ensures privacy & security. The property’s elevated location with engrossing rainforests and nearby valley river put you in the thick wonderland of a primeval jungle – but a hot barista coffee, a traditional Gallo Pinto breakfast or a fancy dinner are just a quick drive away! And the wilds of a wildlife corridor span behind the property – in fact, just over 3 km away, the mountain peaks and their thick rain and cloud forests reach1,100m or 3,600 feet ASL. The town of Ojochal is 4km away, Plaza Ventanas (large shopping centre) is 8km away, and the famous Playa Ventanas beach is just 9km distant.
🚗 ACCESS
The property is easily accessed via a scenic 6.5 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 neighbourhoods, businesses, jungles & rivers. Just after passing through the main developed center of the town, the road meanders through towering rainforests before turning onto the local neighbourhood and secure condo entrance gates.
There is another route to the property – via Cinco Ventanas Road which meets the Costanera highway at Plaza Ventanas. This route is just 1.5km longer than the Ojochal route and offers spectacular views of mountains, rainforests, and the Pacific Ocean – plus access to the plaza’s shopping, services, amenities and fun.
THE LAND & BUILDING SITES
The lot rises above the public road, with a short driveway leading to a slightly elevated parking area. The land backs onto a slope which falls towards a jungle valley river, the sound of which can be heard from the lot. This jungle will never be touched or cleared due to its protected status. Two plantels (building areas) can be utilized for construction – the larger one at about the midpoint of the elevation (200 sqm or 2150 sqf) and the smaller one at the very top (36 sqm or 390 sqf). A multi-level house could easily sit in the footprint of both building sites at once. The surrounding sloping sections can be turned into fruit orchards, manicured gardens, or reverted back to their rainforest roots.
All utilities are available and construction can start with minimal delay.
THE VIEWS
The towering 1,000-meter coastal mountains dominate the view – draped in primeval jungles and rainforests, their nearly vertical slopes are dressed in massive waterfalls during the greens season. Clouds and mists provide an ever-changing canvas as they dance around the mountain peaks and ridges. All around, jungle canopies fill the vista as they descend towards river valleys which touch two sides of the lot. In the distance, the blue waters of the Pacific Ocean and even Caño Island can be glimpsed through the canopies. A 2-level house will give much broader Pacific views – in fact those future window views will be absolutely spectacular.
THE CONDOMINIUM
The Puesta del Sol condo grounds are secured by TWO entrance gates – first one using an access code and the second one using a resident QR code but also staffed by a round-the-clock security officer. The condo authority ensures that roads, services, standards and common landscaping are top-notch and any fault is addressed with minimal delay – leaving you with much less to worry about!
Puesta del Sol is considered one of the most secure and desirable gated communities in the Ojochal area. And with this stunning lot that offers magnificent views and amazing possibilities for construction, what is your next move?
