Properties in Guanacaste
Mountains & Spectacular Beaches
Starting out of the steep Guanacaste Cordillera volcanic mountain range you will witness the beauty how rivers have shaped and nourished life in all forms. Flowing through rainforests and plains to then join the ocean makes one gape when those breathtaking white sand beaches along the coast reveal themselves. With beaches like Playa del Coco and Playa Tamarindo and almost countless national parks Guanacaste drew millions of tourists and investors to the region.
Heritage & Revenue
With a low population density and a cultural and economic heritage in beef cattle ranching, Guanacaste has made tourism their flagship which turned out for them to become the leading state in Costa Rica’s tourist industry making up 7.2 percent of the country’s GDP in 2008. Visitors have become frequent guests because of what Costa Rica has to offer.
Eternal Real Estate Boom
Guanacaste has never experienced such an intense real estate boom as nowadays. It has currently the highest development rate in Central America which affects the whole region vastly. A new international airport, further development of international competing medical facilities, and land as far as the eye can reach where you will find yourself enjoying life in paradise in your new home in Guanacaste.
Quick Access to Airport
Guanacaste’s Liberia International Airport enabled the region to become even more attractive to foreign buyers and investors and with it the overall growing economy Costa Rica’s. Transportation from there to reach your destination in paradise is easily arranged either in advance or on ground.

This beautiful home located just minutes from central Nuevo Arenal has the best of everything! Designed by one of our area’s top architects, this three bedroom, three bath estate is rich with quiet elegance and comfort. It has been meticulously maintained by the owners as is evident throughout the home, the perfectly groomed grounds and the large workshop garage. The property is nestled within a small gated community of only two other homes, surrounded by lush landscaping and private Lake Arenal views. Landscaping enveloping the property has been designed to ensure privacy while enjoying your time around the sparkling Infinity-edge pool and custom pool house. The paved road to the home winds gently down to the large covered carport and main entrance of the estate. Rich wood arched doors at the entry open up to a split level design with views of the custom stone fireplace and sunken great room just beyond. This first level showcases the Master bedroom on one side with a small alcove and half-bath on the opposite side. The Master bedroom entry also features rich wood arched doors and an expansive bedroom with private bath and custom clothes closet with auto-drain dehumidifier. The bedroom features double arched doors leading out to a very private balcony overlooking the beautiful pool, pool house and Lake Arenal views. This lovely space can be enjoyed day or night, sun or rain with the addition of a custom glass partition to keep out wind and occasional rains. The Master bath has been tastefully designed with neutral tile flooring, granite vanity countertops and a large walk-in shower with custom tile-work. The alcove and half bath on this level just opposite the Master is ideal for a small workspace and offers views of the open Great Room below as well as the upper portion of the property. With the unique ceiling fans and A/C units at both levels, the home is kept at very comfortable temperatures. On the lower, or main level of the home, you step into the Great Room where you can enjoy a warm fire in the custom stone fireplace on cooler nights and relax in the beautiful surroundings. The kitchen is truly a gourmet’s treasure with ample upper and lower custom cabinets and adjacent pantry. The granite topped breakfast bar easily seats 4 and provides extra counter workspace. The gorgeous custom stone work found on the fireplace is matched on the base of the breakfast bar making for a cohesive, custom room. All kitchen appliances are top-of-the-line stainless steel GE Profile series and are in new condition. From the Great Room’s double arched doorway, step out onto the large covered private balcony from where you will enjoy unmatched views of the pool, pool house and private Lake Arenal views. You will want to spend as much time as possible here for the views and the wonderful sunsets. The secondary bedrooms and laundry room are also on this level just beyond the Great Room. The laundry room is large enough to house the full sized washer and dryer as well as the double stainless steel utility sink with room to spare. The hallway continues onto the secondary bedrooms and bath. The bedrooms share a large bath complete with custom walk-in shower, granite topped vanity and a medicine cabinet. Both of the secondary bedrooms are oversized and can easily accommodate King-sized or several smaller beds, should you desire. Each of the bedrooms also have rich, arched doors as seen throughout the home, and lead to private exterior balconies overlooking Lake Arenal, the beautiful pool and lush landscaping. Access to the pool can be made from the main set of steps leading from the Great Room exterior covered patio. The large pool-house at the bottom of the stairs contains an outdoor kitchen complete with double stainless sink, refrigerator and the most outstanding custom fireplace/pizza oven combination you will find. There are even two sturdy hammock hooks under the roof for lounging in the shade. The natural water pool has two Infinity edges – one of which cascades into a natural reed planter. The pool’s equipment and supplies are housed out of sight in a custom-built equipment room just beyond the pool. The overall design and beauty of the pool and pool-house will make it difficult to imagine being anywhere else. The main home enjoys lush landscaping for privacy as well as a strongly fortified retaining wall just at the top of the property. The home is incredible on its’ own, but there is an additional 1,404 square foot, 6-bay garage that will make any car enthusiast, carpenter, welder or boatsman heart go pitter-patter! This incredible space will house up to 4 cars, perhaps two boats, numerous ATV’s or any other hobby you can imagine. There is an overhead lifting system (bridge chain hoist) covering a 20×20 foot work area. The solid concrete building has its own septic system and contains a large storage/safe room at the rear of the garage, complete with toilet, shower, sink, welding plugs, LED lighting, workbenches and ample shelving. This gorgeous home was built to Canadian standards which insures the entire main home and garage have been built for longevity. Both have state-of-the-art drainage systems to prevent erosion from the foundations with clean-outs at every junction. The roof lines have 1 meter overhangs, piped roof drainage, foam injected metal roof voids and vented eaves to keep the home well ventilated for mold avoidance. There are a total of 3 ‘on-demand’ hot water systems and all lighting is LED to keep electric costs to a minimum. All electrical throughout has been professionally piped and grounded along with surge protection for major appliances. It would be difficult to find another high-quality, gorgeous home and property that offers so much at this price.
