Property details
Iconic Ocean View Estate in Ojochal with 2 Guest Houses Commanding one of the finest sunset vantage points on Costa Rica’s Pacific Coast, this iconic ridge-top estate delivers unobstructed, panoramic views that few properties can rival. From sunrise to sunset, the scenery is extraordinary: the vast Pacific Ocean stretching endlessly ahead, the Río Térraba flowing fresh water into the sea to the left, and the dramatic Ventanas Ridge—with its sea caves and secluded cove beach—to the right. From the pool deck, watch whales breach offshore as waves roll in below and the sun disappears into the ocean in a blaze of color.
Walkable to Ojochal Town Center Despite its elevated, private setting, the estate is located within walking distance of Ojochal’s town center, internationally recognized for its world-class dining scene, boutique shops, cafés, and vibrant expat community. This rare combination of ridge-top privacy, panoramic ocean views, and pedestrian access to town amenities is virtually unmatched along the southern Pacific coast.
