In a small, secure and friendly development high above the north end of the lake near Rio Piedras, this 1400-square-foot home (move-in ready when you add more furniture) has views the whole 20+-mile length of Lake Arenal to the famous Arenal Volcano. The lot, at 3616 square meters, is almost an acre, a beautiful property full of trees that invite Costa Rica's exotic animals and, of course, many of the region's hundreds of varieties of colorful birds. Located approximately halfway between the towns of Nuevo Arenal and Tilaran, the home is 20 minutes from either town's restaurants, supermarkets, doctors, banks and other establishments. There are restaurants and village stores along either route. Since the house is just finished, its first owners will be able to landscape and decorate to suit themselves, though its natural surroundings are already pleasurable. The brilliant kitchen, part of a spacious open floor plan, has stainless steel appliances, including a dishwasher. A long paved driveway leads from the common road to the house concealed among the trees at the end overlooking the lake. It is a lovely, tranquil, and private location, though other homeowners among the 10 sites, including the developer family, are there for help and friendship. The developers have left unfinished a 700-square foot lakeview space under the house and deck which can be completed as the new owners wish or used as is. Perched high above the village of Rio Piedras, the home is 10 minutes from Ticowind wind and kite-surfing center. |
