The location is high on a hillside above the main lake road, Route 142, a very convenient location as it is only a 5 minute drive from the popular, bustling little mountain town of Nuevo Arenal where you have necessary services and conveniences. There are also many good restaurants that serve healthy, delicious food. It is the most popular town on Lake Arenal for Ex-Pats and the camaraderie with our Costa Rican neighbors ( Ticos ) is admirable and friendly. When the Minister of Security visited our town he said it should be an example for a Costa Rican model town. We are environmentally one of the best and cleanest towns in Costa Rica with pure water and cool clean air coming thru old growth protected forests from the Caribbean side. We have recycling and no stray dogs or cats in our town since there are three animal protection groups that adopt out these animals after they are spayed/neutered. There are many upscale homes here as many foreigners have made strong investments here which means also that your ROI=Return on Investment will stay strong.
There is a second lot separately gated within walking distance of the house on the other side of the L shaped property with a large nursery building that has all the latest equipment needed for a commercial nursery. The nursery has an electronically controlled sprinkler system and the complete property has its own newly installed private clean water supply. The owner is already growing healthy plants and has started to produce organic vegetables. On the hillside above the nursery is the typical outdoor hillside farming with a container home for the worker family that cares for this property. This endeavor is already producing many good food products to which you could add whatever you wish. It could also be used as a flower/orchid nursery and has an electronically controlled water spraying system. The equipment installed is superior to any I have seen in our area giving you an opportunity to live healthily immediately. This helps Pura Vida have meaning. Attached to this nursery is a garage with miscellaneous equipment available.
The selling price is far below the cost required to rebuild. If interested, owner will finance the amount over $300,000 for up to 20 years long-term at 4% interest with a 10 year balloon payment. The BUYER is responsible for all legal costs; the SELLER pays all real estate commissions. We look forward to having you visit this property to see what an overall delight and bargain it is.
