This is the house you move to when you’re finally ready to build the life you actually want and be close the best ex-pat schools and support your transition into true village and community living.

A real home, in a real community, with the infrastructure already in place, so your family can arrive, exhale, and start living. And a place you can build on someday if you want to expand.

Ojochal is where intentional families land when they’re ready for radical change. It’s an established, multicultural expat community with four schools within walking distance, a weekly farmers market, world-class nature at your doorstep, and neighbors who made the same leap you’re considering.

 Life Project Education, Jungle Academy and Steps in Life are just some of the awesome schools within walking distance to the home.

A Home Built for Family Life

This home was engineered, not just designed, for tropical family life. It sits elevated off the ground, allowing constant airflow beneath and throughout the structure. The open layout maximizes cross-ventilation in all four directions so the house breathes naturally, keeping interiors cool without relying on air conditioning. (There is even a door in the bathroom that opens outside to complete this airflow!)

Every bedroom is equipped with medical-grade air purifiers, ensuring the air your children sleep in is as clean as the jungle surrounding them.

For a family raising a young child in a tech-light environment, this is the foundation that makes that lifestyle sustainable.

What the Property Includes

• 2 bedrooms with medical-grade air purifiers and engineered cross-ventilation
• Elevated construction for airflow and moisture management
• Chemical-free hot and cold plunge tub
• Outdoor rain shower and ceremonial fire circle
• Spiral medicinal garden and native landscaping with fruit trees
• Starlink-ready with a clear sky opening — fast, reliable internet in a jungle setting
• Electricity on site, legal water, and legal road access
• Fully terraced land with space to build an additional dwelling
• Commercial zoning in case you wish to run a business on the property

A Community Built for Families

• 4 schools within walking distance — including Life Project Education, Jungle Academy, Steps in Life, and additional options for young children
• Multiple weekly farmers markets — fresh, local, organic produce steps from your door
• 5 minutes to yoga studios, fitness center, massage therapists, and holistic health practitioners
• 5 minutes to restaurants
• 7 minutes to Playa Ventanas and Playa Tortuga
• 7 minutes to the Costanera highway
• 45 minutes to Quepos regional airport (XQP)

The Land Opportunity

At 2,400 m² (0.6 acres), this lot has real expansion potential. Commercial zoning supports boutique retreat development, vacation rental units, or a multi-generational family compound. Hard infrastructure — utilities, access, and terracing — is already in place.

Why It’s Available

The owners are returning to the United States due to a job relocation. They have lived this life, built this home, raised a young son in the school system, and taught martial arts at Life Project Education. They are motivated to pass this on to a family who will love it as much as they have.

This house was designed not as a rental property, but as a home to support family living.

Why are the owners selling?

The owners are relocating to the United States due to a job change. They are motivated sellers who have lived in this home and built it with sacred intention. Ana from the Borucán tribe led a ceremony to bless the land and the fire circle. There are many good vibes!

The family is personally available to educate the purchasing family on the property, the land, and life in Ojochal, as well as explain the quality of the building process — a rare and valuable knowledge transfer that most listings cannot offer.

Is internet available at this property?

Yes. The property has a confirmed clear-sky opening that supports Starlink satellite internet, providing fast, reliable broadband. This is uncommon in jungle-adjacent properties in the Ojochal area and makes remote work, video calls, and digital schooling fully viable from this location. The former owners worked a corporate job in the United States which required regular Zoom calls with government agencies — and the internet worked great.
