Ridge top Home with Mountain Views and Infinity Pool in Uvita
This property is located on Union Road, positioned on a ridge over 250 meters above the resort town of Uvita. But you wouldn’t know it as the house overlooks the mountain, valley, and rainforest views that extend to the east, just foothills of the 4000-meter Cordillera Central range. The home offers a genuine ‘middle of nowhere Costa Rica’ experience, only slightly interrupted by the knowledge that a short drive leads to cafes, restaurants, shops, supermarkets, surf schools, beaches, and various services in Uvita.
This house is designed for comfort and style. The ridgetop location receives ample sunshine throughout the day, while an overhanging white roof and good insulation help maintain a cool environment. Reliable mountain breezes provide fresh air, acting as nature’s air-conditioning. An outdoor patio with a sunny infinity pool serves as the focal point of the space. The infinity pool has floating steps and a blue and gray marble tile finish, complementing its cool waters.
The property can be reached by a gravel driveway that leads to a public road. The lower level of the home features a 2-car carport, extra parking areas, a laundry room, and a single bedroom with an ensuite. Upstairs are three bedrooms, a kitchen, dining area, lounge, swimming pool, patio, and extra parking. The upper master bedroom has an ensuite, high ceilings, and access to both common and private patios, while the two other bedrooms and the house share two common baths. All four bedrooms have views, open directly to the outside via patio doors, and provide ample storage. All rooms and areas of the house are air-conditioned and have marble floor tile.
The home has a clear atmosphere, and the line between ‘outside’ and ‘inside’ is blurred. The upstairs kitchen and three bedrooms lead directly to the patio and infinity pool area, with sliding glass doors connecting the rooms to the outdoor entertainment and relaxation space. Beyond the glass barrier, the land drops sharply toward the river valley, with jungle-covered mountains and upper cloud forests in the background. There is ample outside seating, poolside lounges, and a BBQ that will make this a popular corner of the house – the design of the space is hard to describe.
The designer teak furniture and finishings add a touch of class – the lumber beds, tables, shelving, doors, partitions, and cabinets enhance every room and space in the home. A spacious kitchen, dining, and lounge area features teak furnishings, marble and lumber tables, designer lamps, and décor that could fit in an architectural digest magazine. The master bedroom ensuite features a marble tile floor and white pebble fill. It offers a choice between a monsoon shower or a windowside bathtub that stands out in design.
The coastal mountains are the highlight of the property - in the summer, their slopes contrast with the blue sky and white clouds. The season brings waterfalls that flow down steep slopes. A mountain river flows below the property, carving a steep channel toward the Pacific. This closeness to nature will bring various jungle wildlife to your doorsteps – monkeys, macaws, toucans, sloths, anteaters, coatis, blue morpho butterflies, and other animals will be your new tropical neighbors. Just 13 minutes away is Marino Ballena National Park, a well-known spot for surfing, whale watching, and SCUBA. There are also options for adventure tourism, shopping, dining, beach-hopping, and nightlife.
Legal Water is important in our area – this property has a 7,500 liter water tank that meets current needs and can also service another property of similar size. The tank is filled by an underground pipe that supplies clean mountain river water for household use.
