This gated 4.17-acre estate captures the essence of tropical living with spectacular views of Lake Arenal, the majestic Arenal Volcano, and the surrounding emerald mountains. The property features a handicap-accessible 3,800-square-foot main home with three bedrooms and three bathrooms, along with two jungle cabins, a pavilion for outdoor gatherings, a greenhouse, a koi pond, a bodega stocked with tools, a chicken coop, and a network of private walking trails that lead to a year-round creek. The estate is nourished by the purest mountain spring water, which feeds the home, the koi pond, and several water points across the property, ensuring a continuous supply of fresh, clean water.
Built with solid concrete walls and a brand-new metal roof, the main home is both durable and low-maintenance. Inside, the open-concept design and soaring twenty-foot vaulted ceilings create a sense of spaciousness and light, while two lofts overlook the kitchen, dining, and living areas, offering flexible spaces for a home office, lounge, or guest quarter. The master suite includes a walk-in closet, a private sunroom, and two exterior doors—one opening to a peaceful zen garden beside the koi pond and the other facing the lake view. A jacuzzi bathtub and private toilet closet with a bidet complete this relaxing retreat. The two additional bedrooms each offer direct access to outdoor spaces, providing a seamless connection with nature.
The living and dining areas flow effortlessly into a second sunroom, filling the space with natural light and panoramic lake views. Strategically placed windows and doors throughout the home promote excellent airflow, while ceiling fans, air conditioning, and heating are available for added comfort, though the region’s mild year-round climate rarely requires them. A separate laundry room with modern appliances is conveniently located just outside the house to maintain a quiet and peaceful interior. The home also features thoughtful conveniences such as single-key access for all doors, a motorized gate with remote and keypad entry, security cameras accessible by phone, and full Wi-Fi coverage. Offered fully furnished, the home is completely move-in ready.
Tucked into the lush greenery, two private cabins provide comfortable accommodations that blend modern amenities with the tranquility of the jungle. The “Casita” is a bright and modern tiny house featuring a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, and living area—an ideal retreat for guests or as a rental unit. The “Cabina” offers a cozy studio-style layout with a kitchenette, private bathroom, and large windows overlooking the surrounding forest, creating an intimate connection with
nature. Both units provide unforgettable experiences, whether used for personal enjoyment or as income-generating rentals.
With its landscaped gardens, sustainable water systems, and exceptional natural beauty, this property is more than just a home—it’s a lifestyle. It offers the perfect setting for a private residence, a wellness retreat, or a boutique B&B. The Lake Arenal region is renowned for its outdoor activities such as kayaking, paddleboarding, and fishing, as well as its proximity to world-class natural attractions including Río Celeste, the La Fortuna hot springs, and the Monteverde cloud forest.
Conveniently located just five minutes from San Luis, seven minutes from Tilarán, and about an hour from Liberia, the estate combines privacy with accessibility. The Liberia International Airport, La Fortuna, and the nearest Pacific beaches are only about an hour and fifteen minutes away, making it easy to enjoy both mountain and coastal adventures. With an ideal year-round temperature averaging 70–80°F (21–27°C), this region offers one of the most comfortable climates in Costa Rica. Nearby towns like Tilarán, Tronadora, and Nuevo Arenal provide a welcoming mix of locals and expats, creating a friendly community with weekly events, live music, and a laid-back yet vibrant lifestyle.
Living here means embracing peace, beauty, and connection—to nature, to community, and to a simpler, more fulfilling way of life.
