Puerto Viejo, Cahuita, Talamanca, Limón, Costa Rica
The expansive 1 hectare jungle estate features a thoughtfully designed duplex with loft style bedrooms and functional storage, perfect for a primary residence with guest accommodations or a rental opportunity. At the heart of the home is an elevated, open air communal kitchen and living space that captures breathtaking views of the Panama mountain range and lush canopy. Surrounded by mature gardens and a "food forest" of avocado, lime, and citrus trees, the estate offers a self sufficient lifestyle just 8 km from the pristine shores of Punta Uva. This gated sanctuary combines privacy and character, providing the ideal framework for a buyer seeking a peaceful, nature immersed retreat with significant future potential.
Located just beyond the Paraiso Hills area in the South Caribbean foothills, this 1 hectare jungle property offers elevation, privacy, and flexibility for buyers seeking a quieter lifestyle surrounded by nature. Built at the high point of the land, the finished duplex structure consists of two identical 58 sqm interior spaces, each designed with a loft style bedroom. One unit includes a full bathroom, while the second features a full bathroom plus an additional half bath in the loft area. Both spaces are simple and functional, with compact counter areas designed for light food preparation, and a small storage area. A covered patio connects the two units, creating a shaded outdoor area for relaxation. Above the carport, an open air communal kitchen and living area serves as the primary gathering space. Completely open to the surrounding landscape yet protected by a roof, this elevated platform captures views toward the Panama mountain range and overlooks dense jungle canopy. The current kitchen setup is basic, including a hot plate, toaster oven, mini refrigerator, and sink, though there is ample space to expand into a more substantial outdoor kitchen design. This area defines the lifestyle of the property, elevated, breezy, and immersed in nature. The terrain is steeper than neighboring parcels, limiting additional flat build sites unless future construction integrates into the slope. However, the land has been thoughtfully planted with a variety of fruit-bearing trees, including lime, mamón (multiple varieties), avocado, coconut, banana, plantain, mandarin orange, araza, and yucca — supporting a more self-sufficient way of living. The gated entrance features solid pillars and a bricked driveway leading to a parking pad and covered carport. Mature gardens surround the structures, and the property regularly welcomes monkeys, tropical birds, and other wildlife common to the foothill region. This offering is best suited for a buyer who intends to live onsite while renting one unit, host extended family or guests, or gradually enhance the existing infrastructure to create a more refined primary residence with additional separate guest accommodations. The foundational structures are in place, the views are strong, and the setting is undeniably peaceful. Located approximately 8 km from Punta Uva beach and 14 km from Puerto Viejo, the property offers seclusion without complete isolation. For the right buyer, one who values privacy, elevation, fruit production, and the ability to build upon an existing framework, this is a foothill property with character and future potential.
