Live in the Jungle Canopy While Operating a Four Unit Rental Property

Imagine living in your own home surrounded by jungle, with four rental apartments operating just a short walk from the beaches of Punta Uva.

This 3,662m² titled property sits outside the Gandoca reserve on a steep, forested hillside, creating a remarkable sense of privacy and immersion in nature. From the apartments and the private owner’s home, the view is almost entirely canopy, and wildlife is a constant part of everyday life.

The property includes four rental apartments in a separate building near the entrance. Two are located upstairs and two downstairs, with two different layouts between them. Each apartment offers a spacious bedroom, large bathroom, basic kitchen, and private patio. The units could be used for either short-term or long-term rentals, giving a future owner flexibility in how the property is operated.

Further into the property is a separate two-story home, with one bedroom and one bathroom, designed for the owner or an onsite manager. The bedroom occupies the upper level and opens through sliding glass doors onto a large covered deck overlooking the jungle canopy. A generous walk-in closet is used as a dry room with a dehumidifier. Downstairs is one large open space with a basic kitchen, generous dining and living area, and a large bathroom.

The home is well-built and comfortable, with the surrounding environment doing much of the work. Step onto the covered deck and you're immersed in the trees. The wildlife is one of the defining features of this property. Sloths, parrots, toucans, and all three species of monkeys found in the region regularly visit the property. The current owner has even developed a familiar relationship with a family of Capuchin monkeys that comes by regularly. This is the kind of place where wildlife isn't something you occasionally go looking for. It comes to you.

The property also has a separate laundry area with storage near the apartments, two large parking pads, and two private wells. A covered rancho currently used for storage could be transformed into additional outdoor living or gathering space, adding another opportunity to make the property your own.

The jungle terrain is steep, which gives the property its dramatic canopy setting and naturally good runoff. Access is also steep and requires a 4x4 vehicle, but is reinforced with a solid concrete base.

Then there is Punta Uva itself. The beach is approximately 500 meters away, close enough to become part of your everyday routine while the property still feels removed from the activity of the coast. You can live surrounded by jungle, walk down to the beach, and return home to a property where the forest is quite literally part of the experience.

This is a property for someone who wants to live in Punta Uva rather than simply own an investment here. The four apartments provide the foundation for a small rental operation, while the separate owner’s home makes it possible to live onsite and be directly involved in the property. Whether operated as short-term vacation rentals, long-term apartments, or a combination of both, there is room for a future owner to shape the business around the lifestyle they want.

For someone looking for a home in the South Caribbean where nature, wildlife, proximity to the beach, and the potential to operate a small rental business can all become part of everyday life, this property offers a genuinely different way to live in Punta Uva.
