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. |
