Lot 34 OEV Oshun House

Casa Oshun offers true luxury eco-living, built entirely dedicated to sustainability, using the highest quality natural materials: zarza and daub (adobe with an interior bamboo lattice structure for seismic safety), sustainable teak, reclaimed local hardwoods, clay tiles, copper pipes, straw, and paints made from natural pigments. High-end appliances provide modern convenience, and the open layout keeps fresh air circulating even during the hottest months. This home, built in a natural refuge by master craftsmen, has a private trail to one of the best swimming holes on the Machuca River. A spacious porch wraps around the entire house, with a large central outdoor area that includes a cozy nook, a wide open space for yoga and movement, a dining area under the thatched cathedral roof, and a hammock by the fig tree – the ultimate place to relax. Surrounded by large, beautiful trees, there is no better place for bird watching. Featuring wood and glass accordion doors that can be fully opened or closed, the open kitchen and living area are bright. For a perfect balance between outdoor living and indoor sanctuary, both bedroom and bathroom doors feature wood and glass screens as well. The hexagonal master bedroom, built in homage to the sacred geometry of bee architecture, is air-conditioned for your ultimate comfort. All other rooms are kept cool with fans and natural airflow; our fortunate location next to the forest and river allows you to benefit from a perfect temperature year-round. On the main floor are the kitchen, living and dining areas, the master bedroom, two additional bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a laundry room with a state-of-the-art, green-certified clothes washer and dryer; below the kitchen is an office/guest room with a half-bath and a private patio facing the pond. The property features two beautiful ponds with pumps keeping the water circulating, abundant productive fruit trees including mamón chino (rambutan), lemon, mandarin, avocado, carambola, fig, mango, and rose apple, and an organic garden, planted behind the house for easy access from the kitchen. This lot has enough room to build a guest house if desired. This spectacular property is a 5-minute walk from the community saltwater pool, rancho, yoga shala, and community gardens. A walk along a shaded path above the river will take you to the sports court, playground, and community library. Head up the road, passing through the neighboring permaculture communities of Alegría and Tacotal, to find diaphanous, sparkling waterfalls,huge natural boulders and deep swimming holes, or veer off the trails for stunning views of the Machuca River Valley. Enjoy organic fruits, vegetables, dairy and grass-fed meats and superfoods delivered to your door by local farmers.
