Lake Arenal, Costa Rica, real estate for sale
H91Lava-view location: 2-story home close to lake and volcano - $149,000
This is rare - a 3-year-old Gringo-style home at the southern end of Lake Arenal with views of the northwest side of Arenal Volcano where the lava flows. Just above the village of El Castillo, a few miles past the famous tourist locations, Lake Arenal Observatory Lodge and Sky Tram, the home has great views up the length of the lake from its location in this little-developed area. Viewed after dark, the lava flows are not only thrilling but fascinating, always changing as the lava and bouncing incandescent boulders plunge down the mountainside from near the top nearly to the base. The views from the home include the complex tropical-forested hills that rise from the lake up to the Monteverde mountains. The home is about 15 mnutes from Tabacon Hot Springs and 30 minutes from the town of La Fortuna. It's built of concrete and steel with extensive glass, screened sliding doors and windows, and custom hardwood doors and moulding. (The photos and captions below are of the neighboring home by the same builder, a home that has since been sold. We will get new photos as soon as possble.)
