Situated on a 1.2-acre lot and already a successful Airbnb property, this home offers all the modern comforts in a beautifully compact design. Nestled at the edge of civilization and jungle, it fronts an expansive open lot while backing into the vibrant rainforest, yet is only moments away from the renowned jungle town of Ojochal.
The ascending driveway ends at a carport attached to the house, ensuring a dry passage year-round. The entrance is located at the back, next to a stunning timber patio that faces the forest descending towards a nearby river valley. The ground floor includes a fully equipped kitchen, bathroom, and laundry/storage room. In a clever design twist, the shower is on the patio, providing a full jungle view! A staircase leads to the upper-level bedroom with windows offering views of the jungle on both sides of the house. The patio is the highlight of the space, featuring two deck chairs and a hammock, perfect for soaking in the lush, tropical scenery and the soothing sounds of the jungle.
A hidden gem of this property is a staircase that winds through the vibrant rainforest starting just above the house, leading to a charming, year-round river with multiple swimming holes. At times, the waters of this crystal-clear river appear a deep turquoise, creating magical spots perfect for Instagram photos! It’s an ideal place for relaxation, a refreshing dip, morning yoga, BBQs, or meditation in nature’s tranquility.
The spacious front yard offers multiple development possibilities. The flat land could accommodate a large house with a swimming pool, patio, and additional cabins, plus a vast green area for a garden or orchard. It also holds great commercial potential – a café, restaurant, or additional short or long-term accommodations would thrive here. Located in the heart of Ojochal and surrounded by jungle and a magical river valley, business prospects are brisk!
