This lovely home, with furnishings by the respected craftsmen in Sarchi, was exceptionally well built by professionals on a double lot. The views of the lake and the location at the top of the hill add serenity to living in this most special part of Costa Rica.
In the main house there are 2 master bedrooms and 2 bathrooms en suite and two guest bathrooms. The upstairs master bedroom is terraced for the expansive lake view and has a full en suite bathroom. The kitchen has all the latest electronic equipment and necessities for meal preparation comfort. Both structures have been plumbed with quality materials brought here from the U.S. there are two electrical boxes added by a professional electrician brought here from San Jose. The 3-car garage has a separate entrance and driveway for privacy.
The location is only one mile from the center of tranquil Nuevo Arenal, the preferred, growing town of 4000 residents. 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 easily meet and join into varied get togethers. We have a community Facebook page for the Lake Arenal Community with a section on Events and other chats 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 healthy 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. Fiber Optics available to install. Line in.
Arenal is only a short 1 1/2-hour drive to the capital city of our Guanacaste Province, 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 of Lake Arenal with its continuous breezes for comfort.
In the other direction we are an hour from the second busiest tourism town of La Fortuna. Your guests will be kept busy and awed at the Arenal Volcano, hot springs, zip lines, kayaks, pickleball and other activities.
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 fresh 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 our neighborhood trees. It is truly a Pura Vida…
