Description

 

This parcel which measures approx 484 acres sits at the end of the road in a desirable residential area of Ojochal with other well-valued second homes and estates. The property is serviced by year-round graveled road access, electricity and private water. The water system is well designed and executed and is fed from the pristine headwaters of the Balsa River, which is birthed on the property. The water sources are VERY abundant at this property with multiple year round creeks and spring heads. The lower section of the parcel has very gentle topography with usable river side, cleared areas, flat ocean view sections, a habitable 2 bedroom 1 bath home, caretakers quarters, a large separate higher building pad and beautiful interspersed landscaping and forest. The is of very sturdy, bunker-like construction with completely secure lower level one-car garage, dry room, ample storage and full bathroom. The home was build with very high structural standards and even has some nice aesthetic touches such as a rare hardwood (Manu) deck which skirts all sides of the upper, residential level. The views from the home are of approx 100 degrees of Pacific Ocean (blue water and white water) views and verdant forest below. The lower perimeter of the land has an undeveloped rising ridge that affords very nice ocean views and approx 5 to 6 stand alone home sites. This is all set against a backdrop of some of the most dramatic, virgin rain forest on the Pacific Coast with elevations rising upwards of 2000 feet above sea level. This guarantees the long term integrity of the property, privacy, abundant wildlife and clean water. This rare offering is less than 10 minutes from the popular village of Ojochal which is home to a growing restaurant epicenter and colorful expat community. The property is apt for a private estate, the construction of an eco lodge, biological research center or a small scale, low impact residential development. Please inquire for more details and to schedule a visit of this property which has been under the same British ownership for the last 15 years.
