Situated within the serene lakeside community of Lake Paradise in Nuevo Arenal, this exceptional 1.7-acre property offers an ideal balance of privacy, natural beauty, and development potential. The gated community is perfectly positioned along the shoreline of Lake Arenal, offering residents some of the most captivating views in the region and a true connection to the surrounding landscape.

The property is composed of four titled lots sold together as one parcel, providing remarkable flexibility for a variety of ownership visions. A modest 1,230-square-foot residence sits amid mature gardens and open green space. The home’s setting is particularly appealing, as it borders a forested area known for its visiting monkeys, toucans, and numerous bird species, ensuring privacy and a sense of harmony with nature. The property is easily accessible from a main road via a secured community gate, followed by well-maintained roads that gently meander through Lake Paradise, and finally a grassed driveway that leads directly to the gated residence, which is set back and tucked into the landscape. A spacious courtyard at the forefront of the property creates a beautiful sense of arrival and offers ample room for vehicles, while the home itself sits slightly recessed, enhancing the overall feeling of seclusion and tranquility. Cool lake breezes, panoramic views, and a peaceful community atmosphere make this one of the most desirable enclaves around Lake Arenal. Despite its private setting, the property remains only minutes from the town of Nuevo Arenal and all of its amenities.

The two-bedroom, two-bathroom home showcases a unique architectural design and thoughtful décor, with an open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area that feels spacious, bright, and welcoming. Tall, wood-beamed ceilings add warmth and character, enhancing the sense of openness and complementing the home’s natural finishes. The living area features a custom built-in wooden entertainment unit, emphasizing the efficient use of space and contributing to the home’s open, expansive feel. The spacious kitchen, finished with wood cabinetry, granite countertops, and generous workspace, also features a central breakfast bar that comfortably seats three to four people. Patio doors lead from the living and dining area, opening onto a covered terrace and gardens; a beautiful extension of the home, ideal for outdoor cooking and entertaining.

Above the main living space, an upper gallery nook featuring a built-in desk with drawers currently serves as an office; however, it would be equally well suited as an art studio or area for yoga or meditation.

The spacious master bedroom with en-suite bathroom opens onto a private deck that leads into a landscaped garden with meandering pathways that weave through the grounds toward several intimate sitting areas. Some are shaded and secluded, while others open to expansive lake views. A large second bedroom with a Murphy bed functions as a versatile guest suite, or alternatively as a quiet sitting or reading area, providing flexibility for visiting guests as well as a useful multipurpose space. It connects conveniently to a generous guest bathroom, maintaining both comfort and practicality.

Adding to the home’s practicality, a combined laundry and storage room maximizes functionality and makes efficient use of every square inch. An attached garage comfortably houses one vehicle and provides additional storage for gardening tools and supplies.

Designed with efficient use of space in mind, subtle architectural details such as the ornate wood built-in entertainment unit, the Murphy bed, and the built-in unit in the upper gallery nook, create both function and visual appeal. These thoughtful design elements, combined with the tall wood-beamed ceilings, make the home feel significantly larger than its actual footprint.

The location of the main house is fully fenced and gated, offering privacy, while allowing the adjoining lots to the front, side, and rear to be used for a range of purposes. The configuration of the four lots offers exceptional versatility, one could retain the current layout for privacy, construct a larger main residence on one of the upper lots, or sell one or more parcels individually to suit personal or investment goals. The layout of the property has been strategically planned, providing multiple options for future expansion, income potential, or personal use, while maintaining the beauty and privacy of the main residence.

Beyond its natural beauty and development flexibility, the property’s location is one of its greatest assets. Situated within minutes of the quaint town of Nuevo Arenal, where you’ll find restaurants, bars, coffee shops, grocery stores, a bank, a church, fitness centers, and other conveniences, the home offers both tranquility and accessibility. It is also just 40 minutes from La Fortuna, known as the gateway to Arenal Volcano National Park, where visitors can enjoy thermal hot springs, ATV tours, hiking, ziplining, and abundant dining and shopping options. In addition, the property is less than two hours from Liberia International Airport and just over two hours from the beautiful Pacific beaches of Playa Hermosa and Playas del Coco. With its cooler mountain temperatures and distinctly European atmosphere, where heating and air conditioning are not a necessity, yet with warmer beach destinations only a picturesque short drive away, this location offers the perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and accessibility.

This home truly has everything you need, thoughtfully designed spaces and a layout that is both creative and comfortable. Combining lake views, lush surroundings, and development flexibility, this property represents a rare opportunity to own one of the most distinctive holdings within Lake Paradise. It is ideally suited for a lifestyle or retirement buyer seeking serenity and space, an investor or builder with an eye for expansion, or anyone envisioning a private lakeside estate in one of Costa Rica’s most naturally beautiful settings.
