PRICE REDUCTION!!

FOR SALE:Lake Arenal & Volcano Views — Turnkey Home + Self-Contained Guest House on 1.7 Acres- $599,000 USD NOW $549,000 USD

Set on a beautifully landscaped 1.7-acre (6,882 m²) hillside above Río Piedras — just 15 minutes from Nuevo Arenal — this turnkey property offers something increasingly rare on Lake Arenal: open, unobstructed views of the lake and the Arenal Volcano from both the main home and a fully separate guest house, with the privacy and wildlife to match. Mornings here begin with toucans in the treetops, hummingbirds at the windows, and the distant call of howler monkeys carrying across the valley. It is a genuine nature lover's home — private, green, and alive.

The main house (2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, ~200 m²) opens into an airy great room beneath a soaring wood-clad ceiling, with a fireplace and an open-concept kitchen, dining and living space built for gathering. Walls of glass and a wide covered terrace pull the lake-and-volcano view straight into the home — watch the sun rise over the volcano in the morning and set behind the mountains at night, coffee or wine in hand. The primary suite includes a private outdoor shower with hot and cold water, a quiet signature touch of Costa Rican living. A fully self-contained guest house, newly built in 2024, sits privately on the grounds with its own entrance, kitchenette, bedroom, bathroom and living room — and its own views of the lake and volcano from inside and from the terrace. Modern and move-in ready, it's ideal for visiting family, a private home office, or vacation-rental income.

Day-to-day living is easy and fully connected: Starlink high-speed internet is already installed, cell reception on the property is excellent, water is reliable city supply (Aguacate) and power comes from the national grid (ICE) — no off-grid compromises.

An enclosed garage holds two vehicles and includes a laundry room, and electric gates plus a full security system provide peace of mind on a naturally fenced, private lot. Getting around is easy.

Short, scenic drives reach both La Fortuna and Monteverde, putting the region's hot springs, cloud forest and adventure within comfortable reach. Liberia International Airport (LIR) is roughly 90 minutes away, with the La Fortuna airport a similar distance. And when you'd rather not cook, one of the region's most celebrated restaurants — Café & Macadamia, a Mediterranean–Costa Rican fusion kitchen with its own sweeping lake views — is just a fiveminute walk from your door. Offered fully furnished and turnkey — all furniture is included in the sale, so you can arrive and simply start living.

Two vehicles are also available with the property if you'd like them: a virtually new 2024 Mitsubishi L200 (just 10 km) and a collectible 1977 Toyota Land Cruiser BJ40.

1977 Toyota Land Cruiser BJ40 A genuine classic and an icon of Costa Rican back-country driving. This BJ40 shows just 107,000 km and is in excellent condition throughout. It has been thoughtfully upgraded with a four-wheel disc brake conversion, giving modern stopping power to a vehicle that has lost none of its rugged, go-anywhere character. RTV (Revisión Técnica Vehicular) is current through June 27. For collectors and adventurers alike, a turn-key example that's as capable as it is timeless.

2024 Mitsubishi L200 GLS HP At the other end of the spectrum, a nearly new 2024 Mitsubishi L200 GLS HP with only 10,000 km on the clock — effectively in showroom condition. This is a four-door, 4x4 model with automatic transmission, fitted with Apple CarPlay and a factory-installed snorkel for confident river crossings and rainy-season roads. It combines the comfort, connectivity, and reliability of a current-generation truck with genuine off-road capability — the ideal daily driver and work vehicle to complement the Land Cruiser.

Together, the pair covers everything from weekend exploring to dependable daily transport — a practical and characterful addition to the property.
