CASA ESPIRITU DE LA JUNGLA IN OJOCHAL

Imagine having the best of both worlds – a house in the buzzing village of Ojochal with her world-class
restaurants, boutique shops, fitness and leisure facilities and full services and amenities AND being
immersed by jungles that stretch all the way up the 1,200 – metre coastal mountains which, literally, sit in
your boundless backyard!
This house is truly exceptional in form, design and surroundings. Situated in the foothills of the coastal
mountains it is less than 1 km away from the centre of Ojochal – a 5 minute walk to Tagua Café could be
your morning routine, while the locally famous Los Gatos Locos restaurant/live music venue is 15 minutes’
walk from the house. But you are well-insulated from the hussle and bustle of Ojochal as the property is
the only house on that side of the road, is elevated and nearly surrounded by tropical rainforests! A
mountain river descending through 200 metres of the northern border of the lot provides further tranquillity
with her ever-present burble that drowns out the outside bustle. A separate private creek, right next the
house, is surrounded by towering trees – in less than a minute you can descent from the living room to its
waterfall, swimhole and cool and refreshing waters! The constant hum of the river and creek, together
with the jungle animal chorus, give this place a truly magical feel.
The house stretches over three levels, connected by outdoor and interior staircases and verandas,
designed with ease of use and functionality in mind. A paved road leads to two separate parking areas
with automatic gates and space for three+ cars, making the house an ideal Airbnb rental – whether you
want to put the whole house on the rental market or just the bottom self-contained level.
Additionally, the minimal 15m setback along the 200-metre river waterfront allows for the construction of
additional homes, structures or cabins – you may wish to build another private residence, a home office,
a fitness studio or construct cabins to use as income-producing rental units. All levels of the house offer
ocean, jungle, mountain, creek and river views – from the patios, verandas and interior areas.
The bottom level, with its own access gate and driveway, includes a plunge pool with amazing views and
a large bedroom, self-contained with a full bathroom facility –there is also an outside shower.
An outside deck leads to the azure pool - prefect for a hot coffee followed by a morning dip! Next to the
pool, a staircase descends to follow a path towards the river, swim hole and waterfall – perhaps a shower
under the waterfall before you start your day?
The second level is the main living area and it too is accessed by a separate gate and driveway. A large
veranda and HUGE covered patio, extending to give panoramic views, is perfect for relaxing, entertaining,
or enjoying a meal or drink in the tranquillity of nature. The overhanging roof and multiple ceiling fans
ensure the patio can be enjoyed in all weather conditions! This level holds a large kitchen and another
bedroom with a bathroom.
The third level also boasts a large patio with equally impressive views. This level is very open and bright,
holding a large central space and an adjoining bedroom with a bathroom and a very cool feature – a
‘hanging shower’. The shower extends into the space outside of the house - it is very bright, airy and
provides amazing jungle views and tropical vibes all around.
While the layout and location of the house are as good as you can find, the real bonus is the nearby creek
and waterfall – accessible from the bottom level via a well-designed system of stairs and paths, the creek
is less than a minute away. A small waterhole at the foot of the waterfall can be easily enlarged to create
an oasis of serenity – one you can visit every single day, alone or with company, a hot coffee or cold drink
in tow.
