About this property

This property in Bahía Ballena features a private and secure 1.22-acre lot bordered by a creek, along with a jungle house located just over 4 kilometers from Marino Ballena National Park and Playa Uvita, and 2.5 kilometers from Playa Hermosa. The home is conveniently positioned near Uvita’s restaurants, cafes, shops, and attractions, all situated between the residence and the picturesque tropical beaches. Access to the property is straightforward from the Costanera Highway, the main route connecting San José with the Southern Pacific. A quick 400-meter drive leads to the front gates, where a concrete driveway completes the journey. The drive offers a serene experience through a leafy neighborhood, providing a sense of tranquility just minutes away from the excitement of Uvita. The house is situated at an elevation of about 50 meters above sea level, making the drive easy and gentle. Marino Ballena National Park, known for its sands, waves, wildlife, coconut groves, trails, and renowned whale-watching and sport fishing opportunities, is just over 4 kilometers from the home. Playa Hermosa, a more serene beach, is approximately 2.5 kilometers away. Despite being close to all amenities, the property offers a tranquil sanctuary. Between the home and the beaches, Uvita provides various services, including trendy cafes, top-rated restaurants, tourist shops, grocery stores, yoga and fitness facilities, and hairdressers. For those who appreciate nature, the coastal ranges rise steeply behind the property, reaching over 1,000 meters and covered in thick jungles, cloud forests, and seasonal waterfalls that soar hundreds of meters high. The home is located in a prime area surrounded by successful rental properties, making it an attractive option for tourists, expats, and traveling nomads. The quiet yet central location, sunny pool, towering jungle surroundings, secure gate, and walled perimeter cater to the needs of visitors. There is potential for commercial use, as the property can be expanded to include another room, transforming the current 2-bedroom layout into a sought-after 3-bedroom family getaway. A creative owner could enhance the landscaping and amenities to develop an exclusive mini-resort. The house itself is beautifully positioned over a steep jungle-covered ravine, featuring a covered wrap-around patio that takes full advantage of the elevated location. Relaxing on the patio allows for views into the canopies of a towering tropical rainforest. The home includes two large bedrooms with full ensuites, ample storage, workspaces, TVs, and large windows that provide direct access to the patio through sliding glass doors. The central area of the house is airy and spacious, with high ceilings and bright walls, complemented by an outstanding kitchen designed to inspire culinary creativity.
