3 Bedroom House with River Access in Uvita
Located on 4.2 acres in lower Uvita Mountain, this property features whitewashed walls and a terra cotta roof, overlooking a jungle canopy and the Cortezal River, with a view of the Pacific Ocean on the horizon. This home in the jungle is located 5 minutes from Uvita center, providing tranquility and convenient access to amenities.
Wildlife thrives in the year-round monkey corridor where Capuchin and Howler Monkeys are often seen, and rare Spider Monkeys have been spotted on the property. Parrots, hummingbirds, and toucans are common bird sightings, while agouti, pizotes, and an iguana move across the grounds. Trails extend from the home into the jungle, leading to a clear river below with swimming holes and rock slides, accompanied by peaceful sounds. Hiking downstream along the river leads to the Uvita waterfall.
A gated entry from the road leads to a spacious parking area with 2 carports. You walk from the carport to the front door along a path surrounded by nature, listening to the river below and birds in the trees. You feel a sense of “home” as you approach the house with a covered verandah and mountain views.
The main living area is on the second floor. The front double glass doors and foyer with a powder room greet guests. You enter the kitchen with cabinets, counter tops, and appliances. The living and dining area opens to a large wood deck terrace with teak railings that connects both bedrooms and provides access to the front and lower levels. This resembles a tree house at eye-level with the canopy and a partial ocean view. Interior designs feature vaulted ceilings, concrete floors, and Eucalyptus wood doors and framed windows.
A Laurel wood staircase leads to the loft with wood floors and a wall of windows that connect you to the jungle. The loft area has a TV and sofa and could serve as a space for a bed for guests. On either side of the kitchen and living room are two principal bedrooms, each with full bathrooms, king beds, built-in closets, and A/C. The home is well-decorated and ready to move in!
A covered tiled staircase from the main deck takes you to a lower-level area with patios and a mosaic tiled pool, along with an outdoor BBQ and sink area, perfect for relaxing and entertaining family and friends. The downstairs room featured a wall of Laurel wood storage cabinets and a work desk, with windows overlooking the gardens and jungle valley. This space has A/C and serves as a gym, office, and guest room. A large finished security dry room with a dehumidifier, a bodega, and a laundry room with stainless steel shelving is present in the space. A bathroom would enhance this space as a guest suite or studio apartment.
Completed in 2011 and remodeled in 2019, this unique home provides comfort and key features of Costa Rica’s coastline. Uvita offers a variety of services including markets, grocery and hardware stores, banks, pharmacies, and medical and dental care, along with numerous restaurants, all near the Whales Tail beach and Marino Ballena National Park.
This house is fully furnished and accessorized, providing a straightforward escape for leisure and relaxation.
There is an extra building site next to the parking area for a guest house or Airbnb rental. The river below provides a unique experience for future guests and residents with private trails to access swimming holes. Attention nature enthusiasts seeking a rain forest experience without sacrificing modern comforts and amenities, with convenient 2-wheel drive access!
