Private Lakefront Home With Guesthouse, Nuevo Arenal, Lake Arenal, Arenal, Tilaran, Alajuela, Costa Rica 50807, Nuevo Arenal
Located in Residencial Las Flores, one of the more established and attractive residential areas around Nuevo Arenal, this private lakefront property combines two independent homes, a large pool and hot tub, and a beautiful natural setting just meters from the shores of Lake Arenal.
The property sits on 2,571 m² (approximately 27,674 sq ft) of landscaped grounds surrounded by mature tropical vegetation and rainforest. The position of the homes creates a secluded setting with very little sense of neighboring properties.
Built around the year 2000, the main residence is a solid concrete and block construction with a traditional Mediterranean character, tile floors, wood details, and covered outdoor living areas.
The main house offers 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms and a half bathroom, along with a comfortable living area, kitchen and dining space. Large covered terraces connect the home to the gardens and pool area, making good use of the property's tropical surroundings.
A separate 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom guesthouse provides useful additional accommodation. Having two independent homes creates several possibilities: use the guesthouse for visiting family and friends, use one residence while generating income from the other or turn this into a fantastic vacation rental estate.
Outside, a large private swimming pool and hot tub form the center of the outdoor area, surrounded by gardens and forest. The property also includes a garage and ample space around the homes.
Las Flores is a quiet residential community known for its natural surroundings, ponds, and paved walking trails through the forest. There are no HOA fees, and the neighborhood has a friendly mix of international residents.
Wildlife is a regular part of life here. The mature forest and gardens attract a wide variety of tropical birds, while monkeys and occasionally sloths can also be seen in the area. For birdwatchers and buyers who value nature and privacy, the setting is an important part of what makes this property different.
Despite the secluded feel, Nuevo Arenal is only a short drive away, with supermarkets, restaurants, cafés, medical services, a bank, and other everyday amenities.
The location also provides convenient access to the wider region:
• Approximately 45 minutes to La Fortuna and Arenal Volcano
• Around 30 minutes to Tilarán
• Río Celeste within reach for a day trip
• Approximately 1.5 hours to Liberia International Airport
• Around 2 hours to the beaches of Guanacaste
With two separate residences, lake frontage, a pool and hot tub, and a large private lot, the property works equally well as a full-time home, family retreat, or vacation rental. The separate guesthouse also provides the flexibility to combine personal use with rental income.
For buyers looking for an established home rather than a new-build project, this property offers a lot of usable infrastructure and space at an attractive price point, in a particularly private part of the Lake Arenal area.
