Enjoy the most beautiful and unobstructed views on Lake Arenal! OWNER FINANCING AVAILABLE !

It also offers 22.059 m2 / 5,45 ac of fertile, well-maintained land with palm trees, fruit trees and forest. The land is very flat and therefore can be fully utilized, a rarity around Lake Arenal! It is not only suitable for building, but also offers enough space to grow vegetables and keep animals. It is completely fenced and has its own well that provides tested, clean water. Electricity is also available. In addition, it has direct access to the main road, so it could easily be further subdivided. So, it is perfect for selfsustained of the grid living or investors. Let the sounds of monkeys, toucans, parrots and hummingbirds wake you up while you look out over the lake from your bed. Have a coffee in the garden and watch the many butterflies, squirrels and frogs. Stroll around the property and admire the flora and fauna or your homegrown vegetables before surfing the high-speed Internet or working. This natural paradise has a wonderfully mild climate with an average daily temperature of 25 C / 77 F. It is located above the charming town of San Luis and only 5 minutes from the bustling town of Tilaran, where you can find everything, you need. It is truly a very private natural paradise with excellent access. Experience the great activities of the area: swimming, kayaking or fishing, a dip in the hot volcanic springs of La Fortuna, the Arenal Volcano National Park or a trip, to the nearby beaches. These and the international airport of Liberia can be reached in about 1 hour. A rare opportunity that you should not miss!
