The South Pacific region of Costa Rica is a special place to live; here, you are surrounded by nature, abundant biodiversity, and genuinely friendly people. In the Osa you can breathe in the energy of the tropical rain forest and experience the power of the Pacific Ocean right before your eyes.
Ojochal and Chontales, where the majority of our projects are located, are highly sought-after communities in the Osa. At the southern end of Costa Ballena these communities benefit from exceptional tourist infrastructure and services while maintaining a foothold in the more rural life of the Southern Zone. Our exclusive development sites encompass beautiful lots with views both to the ocean and to the imposing mountains that surround them. Luxurious residences, adapted to the natural environment, are perfectly suited to this unique place.
Ojochal, historically a Tico farming community, began attracting expats in the early 1980s, drawn by the proximity to the ocean, the largely untouched jungle, and the jaw-dropping vistas of the mountains surrounding the valley farms.
The headquarters of local developer, Ventana del Pacifico, since 1992, Ojochal has been the focus of much of the company's production, comprising 11 communities nestled into the lower mountain slopes around the village.
Unlike other population centers along the coast, Ojochal’s growth took place away from the main highway. This often-overlooked gem is home to some of the best restaurants in Costa Rica, 2 luxury hotels, and a vibrant expat community.
Ten kilometers south of Ojochal is the small mountain village of Chontales.
Historically a loosely defined community of Tico fruit farmers spread along the winding mountain roads, Chontales overlooks the small port city of Cortes and a vast expanse of mangroves that stretch to the ocean.
Chontales boasts of exceptional mountain views and sweeping ocean vistas, with a climate that is more hospitable than life at the beach. With its lofty mountainside perch comes a pleasant and refreshing breeziness, making for a cooler, less humid, more tranquil environment. Given its remoteness, you can easily forget that you are mere minutes from Cortes, Ojochal, or Palmar – a major population center at the crossroads to Panama.
