This property, located in the hills above the town of Hojancha, offers the perfect opportunity to create your customized green paradise. To begin, it covers 8 acres of gently sloping land, with forest and pasture, that borders a sparkling mountain stream that flows year-round. Turn around, and you’re enjoying an impressive view of the Montealto Natural Reserve, an undiscovered gem with beautifully maintained hiking trails.

The residents of Hojancha themselves created the reserve to protect the upper watershed of the Rio Nosara – the source of water for their farms and town. Half a mile down the road is the waterfall and swimming hole that gave the small community of Pilangosta (narrow pool) – of which you are now a part – its name. The property has a rustic but solidly build two-bedroom cabin and ample space and beautiful sites to build a larger home or other cabins, each with plenty of privacy. The property has significant frontage on the paved, well-maintained road that connects Hojancha with the mountaintop village of Monte Romo, nearby. Hojancha, which offers almost everything you need, is less than 10 minutes away.

The property also has a perfect climate – neither hot nor cold, although the nights can be agreeably chilly. Water and electricity are connected, and fiber-optic internet is available.
