H156 Windsurfer's delight: remodeled 2BR in Rio Piedras - $79,000
Rio Piedras is the closest village to the windsurfing part of the lake, the north end. The Rio Guadalajara plunges steeply out of the hils and through the village, flowing into Lake Arenal just behind the village. Ticowind wind and kite-surfing center is five minutes from the village and from this nicely remodeled and furnished home. The property has 1 3/4 acres (7,000 m2) much of it on steep forested hillside. The stream borders it for about 300 feet. While the front of the house is close to the highway, the back is sheltered and verdant, pleasantly situated by the beautiful stream. The owner plans to make a path through the forest. The plumbing and electrical are new within the last 3 years and a grey-water tank has been added to the septc system. The house is 15 minutes from Nuevo Arenal, 20 from Tilaran. The village has small stores and two cafes, one of them presided over by Mama, who provides tremendous typical meals. At the top of the hill past this house are Rock River Lodge and the popular tourist stop, Macadamia y Cafe. The house has much potential as a part-year rental as well as a permanent residence. It's 50 yards from public bus stop.
The 2BR 1BA house, partially screned by trees, is right beside the lake road, but has a lot of 2+ acres rising steeply up behind it. From the highway a few hundred yards west of the house, the surface of the windsurfing end of the lake s right beside the road.
The house fronts the lake highway at Rio Piedras but has a couple of steep acres behind it and a long stream frontage.
Just a few hundred yards from the house is this view of the wndsurfing end of the lake beside the lake highway
The house has been completely remodeled inside and furnished. This view is from the front door to the kitchen. This view is from the ktichen to the front of the house.
Here are views from each end of the main part of the house. Through the left wall are two bedrooms and a bathroom. There are also a laundry room and storage room in the house.
The main bedroom has been very pleasantly redone and furnished. The bathroom has been modernized.

The bridge spans the Rio Guadalajara, which runs for several hundred feet along the lot. The house is barely visible in the trees on the other side of the bridge on the left. This stream, the very strong Rio Guadalajara, passes the back yard of the house.
The house is just across the Rio Guadalajara bridge in the trees at left. At right, the river is seen tum,bling past the back yard.
Here's is the center of the village as seen from the bridge. Local artist Juan Carlos Ruiz in Nov. 2010, painted a large welcoming mural on a building in the center of the village.
