This is a comfortable house on a large forested 2.5 acre property. The views of the lake add serenity to living in this informal country home. It has 2 bedrooms, and one bathroom and is partially furnished. You can sit comfortably in your living room and see the lake and trees. A perfect place to use kayaks.
The location is on a Peninsula on the edge of Nuevo Arenal but it only takes 10 minutes to get to the center of town with all the services necessary for your basic needs. Our community is a very friendly, active with many retirees mostly from the U..S. and Canada and some Europeans who interact in many ways. We have a Facebook page for the Lake Arenal Community with a section on Events so you can keep up with all the interesting things to do. There is a very busy calendar of events to choose from or you can just relax in your new home surrounded by green nature with birds singing and monkeys howling around you. The Costa Rican residents have a very friendly relationship with us as there are many ways we help the town with benefits and volunteer work. We are very happy here.
Arenal is only a short 1/5 hour drive to the capital city of our Guanacaste Province, to the capital city of Liberia, which now competes with San Jose for necessary purchases. The Liberia International Airport is conveniently located here so no need for a 4 hour drive to San Jose with its irritating traffic Liberia is also only ½ hour from the beautiful Pacific Coast where you can choose between many North Nicoya Pacific Beaches for a day or weekend of sunshine and still return to the cooler climate we live in with its continuous breezes for comfort.
The flora and fauna are beautiful. It is green year round and an average of 70F. So we have no need for a/c or heaters. Life is casual in this small country mountain town but we have excellent restaurants; we even have the availability of having organic foods to buy here since there are many vegetarians and vegans. We even have fish trucks which drive up here with fish of the day from the Pacific to buy. Most of the animals are grass fed here since the grass is lush and green year round.
A bonus is that you can be surrounded by exotic orchids and tropical flowers which grow in abundance here. The birds are amazing; you might see over 100 varieties of colorful tropical birds here plus see the moneys in your neighborhood trees. It is truly a Pura Vida here.
