Arenal Costa Rica Real Estate | Costa Rica Hotels |

 Imagine yourself surrounded by toucans and parrots,

butterflies, flowers, abundant water and clean air.

Above Lake Arenal in Costa Rica

is this beautiful home

with two and a half acres of peaceful solitude.

The only sounds that fill the air

are bird songs and those of your family.

The Costa Rica Lake Arenal area is always green

and filled with beautiful flowers.

No wonder it has become an international Mecca . . .

popular with tourists, adventurers and retirees alike.

If you are interested in Costa Rican Real Estate

at Lake Arenal,

this property is not to be missed.

Over 1500 foot covered work area with high ceiling. Work on cars, hell you could even put a school bus or two in here for repairs, or build furniture, do pottery, finish off the walls and turn into a second house.

But wait, there's still more -- a small guest house with sleeping loft and windows all about looking onto the farm lands of Costa Rica. Real estate like this is rare, a work of love, of art.

The entire road front is completely hidden by hibiscus, bamboo, trees, flowers and shrubs.

There are almost one hundred banana plants which produce the most outstanding fruits, some papayas, orange trees, lemon trees, guanabana (soursop), guava, mandarin, and more, not to mention hardwoods, ornamentals and bambu.

Elevation approximately 1700 feet above see level here on beautiful Lake Arenal in Costa Rica.

You will witness regular stunning sunsets over lake arenal and Costa Rica mountains. And you don't have to worry about missing the sunset like in the states, because it usually lasts for at least 30 minutes.

Lake Arenal Costa Rica community water is clean and fresh and the cost never exceeds $15/month to irrigate and run the house. Mostly I spend less than $5. There is also a virgin spring, that I have used as a duck pond.

Air quality is excellent as we are surrounded by mountains, pastures and lake.

Windsurfing, fishing, boating, hiking and other outdoor activities abound. In fact, Lake Arenal Costa Rica is known as one of the top five windsurf spots in the world during Dec to April season. But don't worry, this piece of land is situated below a mountain top and does not receive the tremendous gusts that the far western edge of Lake Arenal does.
