The Jungle Sanctuary

Imagine arriving at a secluded villa perched on a jungle plantation equestrian farm in Naranjito, where sweeping mountain vistas unfurl like a living painting. A private driveway leads you through lush gardens and orchards—bananas, mango, cacao and citrus—until the house reveals itself: a striking blend of mid‑century charm and tropical luxury, all set within a serene, eco‑minded sanctuary.

Morning here is cinematic: sunlight spills over the peaks as scarlet macaws, toucans, hummingbirds and butterflies compose your wake‑up chorus. Walk the maintained trails to a nearby river, sip coffee at the bar while monkeys flit through the trees, and breathe the slow cadence of true blue‑zone living. Evenings melt into gold as the sun sinks behind the mountains and the jungle hums a lullaby of frogs and insects.

The villa invites lingering. The two‑story hexagonal main house with floor‑to‑ceiling windows and hardwood ceilings folds indoor and outdoor living into one endless view. A step‑down living room with a movie screen and projector becomes your rainy‑day cinema. A breezeway connects to a separate tower suite—each master offering elegant canopy beds, indulgent soaking tubs, large open showers and private coffee-and‑wine bars.

Romance and ritual await in private suites: a downstairs bedroom opens to an outdoor bath with a massive stone tub for candlelit baths; the upstairs master has a soaking tub, open shower and patio outdoor shower framed by treetops. The bunk room sleeps families in comfort with clever custom storage and an artisanal stone shower nearby.

Outside, life moves at the pace of the sun. Swim in a dreamy natural saltwater pool, lounge on the terrace, then gather beneath the grand rancho kitchen to grill over a wood‑fire Argentinian steak grill or pull fresh pizzas from the wood‑fired oven. Two refrigerators, an icemaker and a long table for twelve make every meal a celebration—sunset dinners, starlit conversations, laughter carried on warm mountain air.

Here, privacy meets possibility: a turnkey, immaculate retreat ten minutes from coastal highlights yet a world away in spirit. It’s a wildlife sanctuary, an entertainer’s dream, and a place to slow down—to wake with birdsong, soak in moonlight, and leave marked by the rhythms of the jungle.
