The Costa Rican expression for everything good, Pura Vida although translated as “pure life,” is used as both a greeting and salutation. You will find it is always said with a smile and you will take the feeling with you for life. As you settle into your jungle home, you’ll understand why this beautiful country is rated as one of the happiest places on Earth. Come discover why.
This magnificent home is strategically situated above the village of Ojochal in an old-growth jungle with the relaxing sound from The Waterfall of Ojochal just down the road. Having the river nearby, along with multiple fruit trees on property attracts monkeys, toucans, hummingbirds, macaws, pizotes and sloths
throughout the day. Just far enough up the mountain at an altitude of 720 feet, you are perfectly located to experience a slight temperature decrease and light mountain breezes. This altitude also secludes you from the traffic noise from the Ruta 34 highway and massively reduces or eliminates annoying flying insects such as mosquitoes. You are just minutes from the
beaches on the South Pacific Coast. Humpbacks from both the southern and northern hemispheres travel thousands of miles to have their babies in this area. There is excellent whale, dolphin, and seaturtle watching. We are a little more than
halfway between Manual Antonio, the most popular park in
Costa Rica and the famous Osa Peninsula. There is a lot to see and do within a short distance of your home base. National Geographic named our area one of the most bio-diverse areas on the planet. It is a nature lovers dream.
The food, oh the food! The village of Ojochal and the surrounding area offer the best food in Costa Rica and some of the best we have had anywhere. Expats from around the world have settled here and created the culinary capital of Costa Rica. We can recommend multiple restaurants in the area, many of
which are just down the hill. The water from the faucet is mountain spring and you can drink it without issue. Forget the plastic bottles.
Step into a world of comfort and luxury at our haven in Costa Rica, "Bali Bali Bueno." This exquisite retreat boasts three bedrooms and three full baths, divided between the main house and a private casita. Indulge in European king-bedded linen sheets in the two primary suites in the main house and queen European linen sheets in the casita, ensuring dreamy nights. An inviting sofa located in the living room of the main house has a twin pull-out bed that awaits an extra guest or little ones.
The upstairs master suite is a sanctuary with a full ensuite bathroom and a wrap-around deck that immerses you in the surrounding jungle. A full bathroom downstairs, conveniently situated off the kitchen and just steps away from the downstairs primary suite with views and access to the outdoor living space & inviting pool. The private casita treats you to a half bath, an enchanting outdoor shower, and even an induction cooktop and refrigerator.
Embrace your inner chef in the thoughtfully designed kitchen, featuring a custom circular bar, all within a captivating open-concept great room. Yet, the true beauty lies outdoors – a haven of covered seating, perfect for gathering loved ones. Dip into the inviting pool adorned with imported Balinese tiles, accompanied by ample seating and a table for refreshing moments.
Ready for beach escapades? We provide you with beach chairs, towels, hammocks, coolers, and boogie boards. A washer and dryer stand at your service, making life easier. Delight in culinary delights; either whip up your own creations or opt for a private chef, effortlessly arranged through your dedicated 24/7 concierge.
The house is easily accessible compared to most mountain homes. When you turn into Ojochal off the highway, there are paved roads until you reach the bottom of the mountain. Then, it is about a six-minute drive up a rock and dirt road (Calle Cascada) to the house. It is very private, near
the end of the road. A large iron gate will allow you to access the house so you can feel completely secure during your stay. We spent many years visiting Costa Rica to find the perfect home and location, and we are excited to share it with you.
This is not a resort town. It is an agrarian area with beautiful farms and unspoiled beaches and jungle. Itis a place to explore, discover, take an adventure, or relax in paradise.
We would love to welcome you as a valued guest in our tranquil paradise @ Bali Bali Bueno off Calle Cascada. Once your booking is confirmed, a 33+ page Welcome Guide will be sent to you with travel tips and hyperlinks on countless adventures, restaurants, and more, allowing you to focus on your memorable trip ahead and not having to do research if you don't want to.
Paradise awaits!
