Located in the serene Lake Arenal region of Costa Rica’s Northern Pacific Zone, this property offers a rare blend of tranquility, convenience, and unmatched natural beauty. The main standout feature of this home is by far the impressive views of the Arenal Volcano from multiple vantage points. From sunrises to sunsets, every day showcases a stunning panorama. Combined with exceptional privacy and the prestigious nature of the Bella Vista gated community, this 2-bedroom 2-bathroom home offers a lifestyle that is both inspiring and secure.
This cozy Costa Rican-style home sits on 1.65 acres within a tranquil gated community surrounded by estate properties and renowned for its panoramic views of the Arenal Volcano, Lake Arenal, lush valleys, and surrounding mountains. The grounds are alive with tropical beauty; mature fruit trees including oranges, lemons, tangerines, pineapples, mulberries, and bananas, alongside vibrant flowering plants that create a haven for toucans, monkeys, and other wildlife.
At the heart of the property is a charming two-bedroom, two-bathroom home of approximately 1,200 sq. ft., thoughtfully designed with Costa Rican character. The home features an open-concept layout with vaulted ceilings, creating a spacious and airy atmosphere.
When entering from the covered carport, or directly through the garage; ensuring you stay dry on rainy days, you are welcomed into an inviting open-plan living room, dining room, and kitchen. The kitchen is a fully equipped and beautifully designed space, featuring a central island with breakfast bar seating for four, making it a natural gathering spot. It offers ample storage, modern cabinetry and appliances, making it ideal for any cooking enthusiast.
Moving from the open and welcoming living area, you step into the master suite, which offers both comfort and elegance. It features a recently installed custom cedar closet, an additional walk-in closet, a new air-conditioned wall unit, and picture windows overlooking the grounds and the Arenal Volcano. The spacious ensuite bathroom, with his and her sinks, as well as a bathtub and shower, offers comfort and convenience with a touch of luxury.
On the opposite side of the home, you’ll find a comfortable guest bedroom with ample space and flexibility, making it ideal as a guest suite, a home office, or both. A bright, well appointed bathroom is also located here, providing comfort and convenience for guests.
Patio doors, fitted with a new decorative metal detail for added security, open into the home’s bright and spacious 625 sq. ft. atrium lounge. This is undoubtedly one of the most exceptional areas of the property, and very likely the most used. One side of the atrium is enclosed by glass walls, creating a light-filled dining area where you can enjoy meals al fresco, rain or shine. The other side is open, with multiple seating areas for relaxation and entertaining that flow directly onto the meticulously manicured grounds. Outfitted with high-quality furnishings, the atrium blends elegance with comfort, making every gathering a special experience.
The property is further complemented by an impressive 1,000 sq. ft. carport, which can accommodate up to four vehicles. Outfitted with beautiful lighting, this versatile space is ideal for entertaining and holds great potential to be expanded into a large social area with an outdoor kitchen and barbecue facilities. A curved driveway enhances accessibility, while a covered garage provides storage, accommodates one vehicle, and currently functions as a workshop.
