Ojochal villa description

This small gem of a house is situated on a plateau with amazing views of mountains, valleys and ocean, with a great view of the sunset every night. There is a bedroom with views of the rain forest, a living area with a kitchen section, and a large covered patio, with fans and lights. This is where you will spend your time, contemplating the view, and the wild-life.
There is an outside cooking area, with fridge, which keeps the house cool, although at 1,400 ft., is is often 5 degrees cooler than down on the beach. There is always a breeze and we have never felt the need for air-conditioning.
There is only one other house visible across the valley, and although remote, the only access road is gated, with a guard on at night.
It is a 15 minute drive down to the main road, where there are stores, and restaurants, ranging from el cheapo to gourmet.
The community is gated, with a guard on every night. The property has a electrically operated gate. although its remoreness guarantees security.
This is a combination of isolation and privacy, yet with access to facilities.
The bedroom has two single beds which can be moved together to make a king size bed.

Keywords: SPARROW's DEN is a compact, one bedroom house, in the mountains, overlooking ocean and valley, isolated, but with all conveniences

SPARROW'S DEN is small villa with only one bedroom, but we live outside on the large patio with dining area, and a fantastic view. There is an outside cooking area, with fridge. The house is situated on a plateau in a remote area, which is gated for security. There is only one other house close by, but it is quite separate and very private. The pool is private, not shared. The track, 4 miles from the main road is steep, requiring 4 Wheel Drive, and a Toyota RAV 4 is available, at extra charge. There are enough activities to keep you occupied, but sitting looking at the view, and the wildlife will take up a lot of your time. There are walks nearby, access to waterfalls and rappelling, walks in the rain forest, zip-lining, kayaking, horseback riding, bird watching, deep sea fishing and several good restaurants for dining, ranging from cheapo to gourmet.
