Hello! Pura Vida! My name is Jason and I have been a land and business owner in Costa Rica since 2011.
The house is a 5 min drive, 10 min bike ride or 25 min walk to the center of Hojancha, Guanacaste, where you will find all of the ameninities of a modern small Costa Rican town. The house is equipped with many amenities / comforts not commonly found in Costa Rica. Washer / Dryer, hot water throughout, a private well with professional filtration and purification system installed.
A community pool is a 5 min walk away with wifi, restaurant, and $4 to use the pool per day.
We are looking for individuals interested in living in a peaceful mountain town, enjoying an immersive cultural and language experience.
Currently our main focus is developing a sustainable, eco friendly gardening project with our in house expert, Jose Mario. See photos for what he’s been doing lately.
We are looking for gardeners, farmers, landscapers, painters, artists and people who can help us maintain the property. Hojancha is centrally located in the mountains of Guanacaste. Close to the larger city of Nicoya and to beaches Playa Samara and Playa Carillo. There is no violent crime in Hojancha and it is a very welcoming community. The beach is about 45 min drive in car and there are also buses from town that will take you anywhere you want to be. A bicycle, car or dirtbike is recommended for this project. We can help arrange those types of accomodations.

Hojancha is an amazing town and the place that initially made me make the permanent move to Costa Rica. Most notably it is the place I perfected my Spanish and became bilingual. I also met my wife here. Travelers will benefit immensely by immersing themselves in this beautiful culture. Hojancha has a population of around 2600 people with an abundance of stores, bars, cultural centers, schools, churches. Most families live off of livestock or agriculture. There are very few English speakers and it is by no means a town dedicated to tourism. Being surrounded by Spanish and Costa Rican culture is the fasted way to quickly assimilate to the relaxed and wonderful way of life. Having little to no English speakers around really pushes you to step out of your comfort zone and learn so much about your new neighbors and also about yourself.
