Description

This tastefully furnished home has been built with the finest materials. The 3000 meter property has a 6 ft high designer wall along the road for the total front of the property for privacy. The house is on only about 1/3 of the property and the rest could be sold separately or used as a garden. There is a freshly painted very long two car garage that was used for storing the owners boat but it was planned to be made into a cabin with the roof raised to add a second floor with a wonderful lake view. The roof was built with corners that are adaptable to raising it.

A bonus: This property is located within walking distance of Lake Arenal at Puerto San Luis, in the town of San Luis. There is the oldest hotel on the lake, newly renovated with a glassed in restaurant for viewing the lake while dining, a swimming pool you can use as a neighbor if you buy a drink, and you are able to launch a trailered boat or rent a floating dock for fishing or pleasure. This is very rare on Lake Arenal as there is a watershed setback around the lake where you are not allowed to enter the lake.

Instead of one big room there are a variety of rooms to use as you please. The house comes furnished and ready to move into so you can decide this later or leave the house the very interesting way it is. It’s a very beautiful and interesting home…one of a kind. The kitchen and dining areas are very functional and easy to work in.

This lovely home has two bedrooms each with their own sitting rooms and with a finely tiled bathrooms with granite counter tops. The master bedroom has air conditioning.

There are picture windows and sliding glass doors out to a veranda in the main living room area. There are many smaller sitting areas for privacy. You also have a jacuzzi where you can see beautiful foliage outdoors while luxuriating in the warm water to relax. Everything in this house has been built with the best quality materials.

The kitchen has modern equipment for promoting an easy, functional lifestyle. This house was definitely built for comfort.

The much appreciated climate here is an average 70F year round meaning that you do not need a/c or heat, although the owners have added an air conditioner to the master bedroom. The town of San Luis is a little mountain village with a friendly, compatible atmosphere for all who live here. There are friendly relations here between both Costa Ricans “Ticos” and Foreigners “Gringos”. There are many available activities to have a healthy lifestyle with easily made new friends in this very beautiful, lush, green year round Lake Arenal community. The location is conveniently only 15 minutes for the town of Tilaran with a population of about 30.000 where you can find shopping and services to meet most of your needs.

The much appreciated climate here is an average 70F year round meaning that you do not need a/c or heat. The town of San Luis and neighboring town of Tronadora are quiet little mountain village of approximately 3000 people with a friendly, compatible atmosphere for all who live here. There are friendly relations here between both Costa Ricans “Ticos” and Foreigners “Gringos”. There are many available activities to have a healthy lifestyle with easily made new friends in this very beautiful, lush, green year round Lake Arenal community.

There is a very hard to get PATENT for this property to start a food packing business for supermarkets which had been planned for the garage which has plumbing and electricity and would make a perfect warehouse/office or also could be a rental cabin or even two story house to rent.

There are good restaurants in the area which cater to Gringos and/or Ticos. Fish trucks come up from the Pacific Ocean selling fresh fish from that day’s catch so we have good choices. Most animals are grass fed so people are healthier here especially since they don’t eat processed food as much as we do in the States.

The town of San Luis is only a hour drive to the busy tourist town of La Fortuna with its many activities including the famous Hot Springs coming from Volcano Arenal.. your guests will appreciate this. It is the second most popular tourism choice for the Arenal Volcano National Park. Some great news is that this lovely home is only a short 1 1/2 hour drive to the capital city of our Guanacaste Province, 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 also only 30 minutes from the beautiful Pacific Coast where you can choose between many Northern Nicoya Pacific Beaches for a day or weekend of sunshine ….and then still return to the cooler climate with its continuous breezes for comfort. Pura Vida is here on Lake Arenal.
