A Serene Rainforest Escape with Modern Comforts

Set on 4.2 acres in the highly sought-after lower Uvita Mountain, Casa Del Rio welcomes you with its classic whitewashed walls and terracotta roof, perched gracefully above a lush jungle canopy and the enchanting Cortezal River. A glimpse of the Pacific Ocean shimmers on the horizon, offering an idyllic balance of natural beauty and refined living. Just 5 minutes from Uvita center, this impeccable home provides serene tranquility with every amenity conveniently nearby.

A Haven for Wildlife Enthusiasts

Nature lovers will revel in the year-round monkey corridor, where Capuchin (White-Faced) and Howler Monkeys are common visitors, and the rare Spider Monkey has been spotted frequently. Birdwatchers will delight in daily sightings of parrots, toucans, hummingbirds, and other exotic species, while shy agouti, playful pizotes, and leisurely iguanas traverse the grounds. Winding jungle trails lead from the home to the crystal-clear river below, featuring natural swimming holes and rock water slides that add to the serene sounds of nature. Hike downstream, and you’ll discover the famed Uvita Waterfall, a local treasure.

Thoughtfully Designed Living Spaces

A private gated entrance opens to a large parking area with two separate carports. A beautifully manicured and softly lit pathway leads from the parking area to the front door, immersing you in the sounds of the river and birdsong.

Entering the second-floor main level, you’re welcomed by a spacious foyer and adjoining powder room. The home’s heart is a fully equipped kitchen with custom cedar cabinets, quartz countertops, and stainless-steel appliances. The adjoining living and dining areas seamlessly extend to an expansive wooden deck terrace with teak railings, wrapping around the home. From here, you’ll enjoy eye-level jungle canopy views and a partial ocean vista, creating a tranquil, treehouse-like atmosphere.

Elegant Bedrooms & Inviting Loft

On either side of the kitchen and living area are two spacious principal bedrooms, each featuring:

• King-size beds
• Built-in closets
• Air conditioning
• En-suite bathrooms

A Laurel wood staircase leads to a bright and inviting loft with polished wood floors and a wall of windows, fully immersing you in the surrounding jungle. The loft, currently a TV and relaxation area, could also accommodate additional guest sleeping space.

Lower-Level Oasis & Multi-Use Space

A covered tiled staircase descends to the lower level, where a breezy patio and a sparkling mosaic-tiled pool with BBQ area await, perfect for relaxing or entertaining.

This level also features a versatile multi-use room, thoughtfully designed with:

• Wall-to-wall Laurel wood storage cabinets
• A built-in work desk overlooking the peaceful gardens
• Air conditioning

Currently used as a gym, office, and guest room, this space also includes a dehumidified dry room, bodega, and laundry area with stainless steel shelving. Adding a bathroom could easily transform it into a guest suite or private studio apartment.
