40014899481 - Jungle, Mountain & Valley View Lot with Two Large Plantels, Bordering a Crystal Mountain River with Swimholes & a Waterfall - A Large, 4, 32 Acre Jungle, Mountain & Valley View Lot with Two Large Plantels, Bordering a Crystal Mountain River with Swimholes & a Waterfall, Only 5 Minutes from Uvita and 13 Minutes from Marino Ballena National Park.THE LOCATION - 250m ELEVATION ABOVE UVITA WITH VIEWS TOWARDS THE EASTSituated in the upper reaches of the sought-after Union Road address, this large lot descends a mountain ridge above the nearby resort town of Uvita. But you wouldn't know it as the east-facing views extend across endless mountain, valley and rainforest vistas, mere foothills of the towering 4000-meter Cordillera Central range...so the vibe of the property is a true 'middle of nowhere Costa Rica' feeling that is only betrayed by knowing that a few minutes' drive will bring you to all the essential (and extraneous!) services and amenities of buzzing Uvita.THE LOTThe roughly rectangular lot descends from near the top of the ridge down to the deep valley river, a fall from 250m to 170m asl, approximately. This lot contains two large plantels situated near the top of the property while the majority of the area is covered by a rainforest which extends all the way down to the river. Plantel 1 is approximately 400 sqm and Plantel 2 is 300 sqm. The current owner currently holds confirmed plans for the construction of a luxury 3-bedroom house with a pool and ample parking - and since legal water is confirmed, construction can start.There is plenty of space to develop this property into your little slice of paradise - a home or two, guest accommodation, cabins, a large pool, jacuzzi, tropical orchard, beautifully manicured gardens... just let your imagination be your guide!THE VIEWSThe soaring, 1000m high coastal mountains are the stars of the property - in the summer their vibrant tropical slopes stand in stark contrast to the deep blue sky and brilliantly white fair-weather clouds. The green season brings towering waterfalls that descend their nearly vertical slopes. The aways changing interplay of mountain-top clouds, valley mists and trees bursting with colorful seasonal flowers create a beautiful landscape painting that is ever-changing - and one that come complete with the sounds howler monkeys, scarlet macaws, tree frogs and so many others critters.THE RIVER & WATERFALLJust below the property a mountain river cuts a steep channel on its way to the nearby Pacific. The Ballena River forms the eastern border of the lot and a prepared path will take you straight to its refreshing waters. Imagine starting your morning with a serene walk into the vibrant rainforests teeming with life - you dip your feet in the cool river waters while sipping a hot coffee, grown just over the hills by generations of Costa Rican coffee farmers. Or how about a few afternoon drinks and snacks with your family and friends, kids splashing in the peaceful swim holes while you catch up on the day's events and wander at the sight of the jungle waterfall?THE LOCAL WILDLIFESuch a proximity to nature and wide range of nearby habitats will bring plenty of jungle wildlife to the property - monkeys (howler, capuchin, squirrel and spider), scarlet macaws, several species of toucans and toucanets, sloths, anteaters, poison dart frogs, tree frogs, giant moths, coatis, brilliant blue morpho butterflies and many other critters will be your new tropical neighbors. And perhaps you will catch a sight of the secretive Jaguarundi - or maybe even a wandering tapir or jaguar? The lot is literally touching a huge swath of sprawling mountain jungles, so always expect to be visited by curious creatures.WATERLegal Water is a big deal in our area - and this property excels with an 7500 liter water tank and authorized access to the pristine, crystal-clear treasure of the nearby mountain river. This setup is plentiful for satisfying all the needs of the property in
