The Lake Arenal Properties
Location: Lake Arenal
Lot size: From 0.5 acres to 8.9 acres
These beautiful properties are located
along the shoreline of the majestic Lake Arenal. At the sites, we
are offering approximately 150 lots with homes for sale. Our
sensibly designed octagon homes take advantage of breathtaking
views from all sides of the property. There will be a clubhouse,
swimming pool, and boat launch available at this site. These
properties are a gated community with 24 hour security.
This beautiful site is situated along
the shores of Lake Arenal, Costa Rica's largest lake. The lake was
created in 1973 when a dam was built to provide hydroelectric
power to the country. Tilarán, the neighboring town, is in the
center of farmlands and ranches and features an abundance of
shopping, banks, a post office, medical facilities and some of the
best restaurants in the area. From there, you have easy access to
the western beaches of Nicoya and Guanacaste or to the famous
Monteverde Cloud Forest. It is an unpretentious and easy going
place with a comfortable climate and a variety of local diversions
including the popular Fiesta de Dias Civicas. The property is
located 200km (124 miles) NW of San José; 20km (12 miles) NW of
Monteverde; 70km (43 miles) SE of Liberia; 17km (10 miles) from
the Arenal Volcano; and 20km (12 miles) from the world famous
Tabacon Hot Springs.
This area remains one of the
least-developed tourism regions in Costa Rica, but not for lack of
resources or charms. It does, after all, have Lake Arenal, a
man-made lake with an area of 86 sq. km (34 sq. miles), making it
the largest lake in Costa Rica, surrounded by rolling hills that
are partly pastured and partly forested. The perfect cone of
Arenal Volcano lies at the opposite (east) end of the lake from
the small towns of Tilarán and Nuevo Arenal. The volcano's barren
slopes are a stunning sight from here, especially when reflected
in the waters of the lake. The northwest side of Lake Arenal is a
dry region of rolling hills and pastures, distinctly different
from the more lush landscape near La Fortuna.
The lake has great fishing and
windsurfing, and offers a scenic drive around the eastern shore
with excellent lake and volcano views. Boating, canoeing, riding,
mountain biking and hiking are all popular pastimes. There are
many lodges around the lake to provide accommodations for
visitors. The lake's other claim to fame is its rainbow-bass
fishing. These fighting fish are known in Central America as
guapote and are large members of the cichlid family. Their sharp
teeth and fighting nature make them a real challenge.
Price: from $45,000 to $600,000
