Vivienne Berrow
Description
Set amidst the exclusive gated community of Vistas Del Lago, this exceptional furnished Volcano and Lakeview Villa in Lake Arenal, complete with a detached 2 car garage and separate private holiday home, presents a unique opportunity to enjoy elevated living in the peaceful lakeside town of Tronadora, Guanacaste. The property is set on 1.62 acres, offering breathtaking views of Lake Arenal and the iconic Arenal Volcano.
Recently awarded the prestigious 2025 Traveller Review Award from Booking.com, this income-generating property stands out for its exceptional guest experience and proven rental success. It’s an attractive opportunity for investors, as the established reputation and consistent performance suggest strong ongoing income potential, making it a highly compelling investment in the thriving Costa Rican rental market. With the completion of a new clubhouse with infinity pool in 2025, the property’s desirability will be further enhanced, potentially yielding greater rental returns.
Enjoy stunning views of Lake Arenal and the iconic Arenal Volcano from select vantage points throughout the property. The main villa spans 1,078 SF and offers two generously sized principal rooms, complemented by a beautifully appointed full bathroom. The villa’s open concept design includes a spacious kitchen with a central island and breakfast bar, a large dining room, and a comfortable living room. A charming conservatory with patio doors and windows, overlooking the garden, provides a serene spot to unwind in the evening. To enhance comfort year-round, the bedrooms have been equipped with air conditioning units, while ceiling fans provide additional airflow throughout. Tastefully furnished, the villa showcases exquisite Spanish tile flooring that adds warmth and character, creating an inviting and elegant living space.
In addition to the villa, there is a thoughtfully designed 323 SF holiday home. The main villa is set at a comfortable distance from the holiday home, separated by a driveway and surrounded by lush gardens filled with vibrant flowers. Meandering garden trails connect the two properties, creating a harmonious flow within the landscape. This clever design ensures both homes complement each other perfectly while offering privacy and tranquility. The holiday home offers a spacious bedroom, kitchen, full bathroom, beautiful picture windows, a private garden, and sitting area with spectacular views of the lake and volcano.
Planning permission has been approved for a third sizeable residence near the lake, providing a valuable opportunity to expand the property and increase rental income potential. Owing to its prime location closer to the lake, this future residence could serve as a main house, allowing the existing villa and holiday home to be dedicated entirely to guest rentals or extended family use.
In 2021, the property underwent an extensive renovation that significantly enhanced its quality, comfort, and efficiency. This included the installation of UPVC windows and doors; a premium feature celebrated for superior thermal insulation, excellent soundproofing, minimal maintenance requirements and long-lasting resistance to varied weather conditions.
The grounds are meticulously maintained, featuring winding garden trails, landscaped flowerbeds, mature fruit trees, and a serene year-round creek along the edge of the property.
This turnkey estate is move-in ready and ideal for homeowners seeking to generate income, with the holiday home already providing a steady rental stream. Both the main villa and holiday home can be leased separately or together, offering versatile living and investment options.
This stunning estate is located alongside the forgotten coastline of Lake Arenal in the northern plains of Costa Rica, where the climate naturally eliminates the need for air conditioning thanks to the beautiful breezes coming off the lake and surrounding mountains. Lake Arenal itself is a picturesque and expansive body of water known for its recreational opportunities, including fishing, kayaking, and sailing, making it a beloved destination for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike.
Just a short 15-minute drive from the charming town of Tronadora, and 20 minutes from Tilarán, the region’s largest town offering grocery stores, pharmacies, medical facilities, financial institutions, restaurants, bars, and cafes, this property enjoys both convenience and tranquility. Liberia International Airport is within an easy hour and 15-minute drive, ensuring hassle-free access, while the beautiful Pacific beaches of Playas del Coco and Playa Hermosa are a convenient 2 hour drive.
