The two houses, each custom designed and built, exhibit great charm and character. They are unlike other homes in Perez Zeledon and the Osa. They were a collaboration of the owners with Mick Clement, an English designer, builder, and artist, who resides in the Chirripo area. The wood was mostly sourced locally in the Diamante Valley.

The Bocana (San Luis) waterfall is bordered on both sides by Boracayan, a 2500 acre nature reserve which is amongst the six most diverse bio regions in the country. It is home to howler monkeys, white faced capuchin monkeys, sloth, a jaguar, pumas and other mountain cats, white tailed deer and numerous other animal species. The area is prime for bird watching.

Sanctuaries such as this one, so close to the coast, are seldom to be found and are coveted places.

Another sanctuary, Marino Ballena, the protected marine park and home to the birthplace of humpback whales who arrive each year from both the northern and southern hemispheres at different times adds to the attraction of the area.

For the past twenty years, Santuario de Bocana, has been stewarded with special concern for the beauty and diversity of its natural environment, by the current owners who have only been able to visit it during holiday periods throughout the year.

with the natural world.

The asking price is $1.85m.
