This conveniently located well built home is on a hillside facing Lake Arenal and Volcano Arenal and is very inexpensive since views like this usually cost much more. There is space to add to the house if you wish although it has three bedrooms and a bathroom now. It comes unfurnished but owner will accept bids at low costs for furnishings, There are no HOA fees as privately owned. Its just off the road to Parcelas which is conveniently located 20 minutes to Nuevo Arenal and 15 Minutes to Tilaran. It is also only 8 minutes from San Luis/Tronodora south side of the lake where there are many water sports activities.
There are lake views from your patio terrace and master bedroom and front porch. The surrounding nature and views tranquilizing and beautiful. There is no need for a/c or heat as the average temperature year round is 70F. And the air is clean and fresh from the surrounding forests, plus the water is pure. Its easy to grow your own vegetables here. Many have greenhouses in back.
You are only 15 minutes from the Tilaran town center with necessary services, stores and restaurants.This is one of the wealthiest towns in Costa Rica but it is not pretentious. The streets are 4-5 cars wide and paved which is very unusual in Costa Rica. The town park has a big gazebo and benches around it where you see people sitting, or walking thru. A good way to say hello and meet neighbors. Some attractions in this area are Lake Cote (a beautiful heart shaped lake in the National Park Reserve), Lake Arenal water sports, waterfalls, river kayacking, rainforests, Tenorio National Park with its Rio Azul and waterfall, tennis and pickleball, book clubs, a garden club, yoga-health and wellness retreats and exercise classes.
The country of Costa Rica is known for its sustainable energy and lack of an army. Their education is the highest in Central America and families are close here. Its like living on a small town in the U.S. years ago and very simply living. No need to dress up …. your neighbors are not liked for what they do/did but how they relate to you. Some very interesting people here to meet.
Its about an hour drive along the lake road Route 142 to get to the #2 busiest tourist town of La Fortuna with its Arenal Volcano and Hot Springs as well as an abundance of activities and tours. Your guests will love this opportunity. It takes only 1:15 hours to drive to the bustling capital city of our Guanacaste Province, Liberia, where there is an international airport and many of the large chain stores for shopping,,,,,then by driving only another 20 minutes you will be at the beautiful Pacific Ocean beaches which makes it easy to go to the beach for the day or weekend. Exploring Costa Rica is a pleasure as the lush green environment is spectacular wherever you go.
There are very friendly relations between both Costa Ricans (Ticos) and Foreigners (Gringos) and it is easy to make new friends with other retirees, mostly from the US and Canada. There are many available activities to support a healthy lifestyle. The restaurants serve a variety of delicious food
including vegetarian and vegan, and there is preferred grocery shopping nearby plus an organic store with fresh farm goods and other health products. It is beautifully green year round unlike the very hot Pacific area. Most animals are grass fed so people are healthier here especially since they don’t eat as much processed food as in the States. The flowers and fruit trees rival those of Hawaii. And colorful tropical birds including toucans are everywhere. Life here shouts Pura Vida.You would be lucky to own this home.
