Vivre Au Bord De La Rivière À Ojochal — Un Sanctuaire Privé

Residencia & Cabinas · Ojochal
Wake to birdsong, enjoy coffee surrounded by tropical greenery, and let the river set the rhythm of your day. In Ojochal, where forested mountains meet Costa Rica’s South Pacific coast, this distinctive property offers an inviting vision: a generous family residence, a boutique hospitality business, or a place for connection, learning and renewal.
Native Costa Rican hardwoods define the character of the three cabinas and the main residence’s primary suite, kitchen and living room. Their rich textures create a warm, organic atmosphere that connects the interiors with the surrounding landscape. Two additional bedrooms and a guest bathroom complement the main home, offering flexibility for a growing family, visitors or dedicated workspaces.
The recently remodelled kitchen brings contemporary refinement to this natural setting. Exotic hardwood countertops pair with a substantial quartz waterfall island, while a dishwasher, full-size refrigerator, water purifier and layered cabinet lighting make everyday living effortless. Fresh interior paint, updated recessed lighting and bespoke details in the primary bedroom complete the welcoming interiors. All rooms feature mini-split air conditioning. Five showers have been newly waterproofed and finished with customised tilework, while the guest bathroom includes a generous bathtub.
Outside, water gives the property its distinctive identity. River frontage offers the possibility of refreshing dips in a beautiful mountain-fed river when conditions allow. A creek and a rainwater-fed pond add further variety, with fish, turtles and visiting birds bringing the grounds to life. Fruit trees, an enclosed greenhouse with irrigation and electricity, and two enclosed dog runs support a lifestyle rooted in nature.
The swimming pool provides another setting for relaxation, with a variable-speed pump and a sand filter installed in 2024. Metal roofing, substantial gutters and insulated ceilings finished with cedar slats support tropical living. A replacement septic system and drainage field installed in 2025 add practical value. Parking accommodates six vehicles near the cabinas, with two additional covered spaces beside a spacious storage building with electricity. Four Ring cameras provide an additional layer of property monitoring.
Ojochal enjoys tropical warmth throughout the year. The generally drier months from December through April invite beach days and outdoor gatherings; the wetter green season, typically May through November, brings replenishing rainfall and luxuriant landscapes. Forested hills, waterfalls and remarkable biodiversity frame the inland experience, while the coast opens onto beautiful beaches and the marine landscapes of Costa Ballena.
Ojochal’s multicultural community brings together Costa Rican residents and international neighbours, including a longstanding Canadian and European presence. Its acclaimed dining scene and international character offer a welcoming setting for a new chapter. Restaurants, schools and celebrated beaches are only minutes away, according to the supplied property information.
With three separate cabinas and a versatile main residence, the property lends itself to an Airbnb concept, an intimate retreat centre or a small educational setting, subject to applicable approvals. Equally, it offers a family with several children the space to grow, host and enjoy life together.
A home where natural materials, flowing water and everyday comfort come together—and where the next chapter can take many forms.
