This private gated two story home is solidly built with beautiful woods and has the living quarters on the second floor presently, unless you wish to rent this and live downstairs. There is a view of Lake Arenal from the back with a covered porch to enjoy the weather and view. The yard is fenced in and walled for privacy so is dog safe. You have the option of adding an extra separate apartment, bedrooms, bathroom, a living room or a storefront in the 1100 sq. ft. unfinished downstairs. It already has the floor and roof so will be easy to finish in the way you want. There is rough-in plumbing for a second bathroom downstairs. It can have separate entrances if you want extra income, privacy or space.
The upstairs has two bedrooms and a bathroom plus an open concept living room, dining room and kitchen all with tile floors. The recently remodeled kitchen has teak cabinets and granite counters. The house was recently painted inside and outside including the roof. The living room has large glass windows facing the lake surrounded by trees for fresh air and privacy.
This house is located conveniently 5 minutes from Nuevo Arenal for shopping, restaurants and most necessities. Arenal is a wonderful 4000 population community of very friendly residents of about 15% exPats and friendly Ticos.. The altitude is 1800 feet in a low range forested, green, mountain area. We have many voluntary cooperative efforts and many activities so one need never get bored. It is truly Pura Vida since it is easy to make friends and have a stress free life with pure fresh air, clean abundant water, and with soil and climate-perfect for growing food. The temperature is a mild 70F. average year round so stays green unlike the dry Pacific zone. No need for a/c or heat which saves lots of money and is healthier.
Arenal is only a short 1 1/2 hour drive to the Capital city of our Guanacaste Province, Liberia, where there is an International Airport, major shopping and then another 20 minutes to the Pacific Ocean beaches making it easy to go overnight or a weekend to the beach of your choice. Some share a beach house rental and each can have partial months to save money for enjoying mini vacations or take visiting friends and family to a totally different atmosphere. Arenal is also only 45 minutes from the tourism town of LaFortuna, and 2 hours from the popular Monteverde Park. Relatives and friends love their visits.
This house has the option of being bought furnished or unfurnished. All appliances are newer and will stay. There are security cameras and automatic privacy gate. Tankless hot water. There are many fruit trees and different varieties of bananas. The owner should be moving into a new house in January which is being built now so will this property will be available then. The birding is amazing with over 100 varieties of tropical birds in our area. Our friends here all feel very lucky to live here as overall to us it is the most beautiful and healthiest part of Costa Rica.
