Set within a privileged lake-access setting in Costa Rica’s sought-after Lake Arenal region, this newly constructed executive residence, built to American standards, blends expansive interior volumes, refined craftsmanship, and resort-style outdoor living. Positioned on a peninsula along a quiet private no-through road, the property enjoys beautiful lake views to both the front and rear of the residence, creating a uniquely tranquil and highly private setting. Designed for full-time luxury living or an exceptional legacy retreat, the property is positioned on a beautifully landscaped 4,000 m² lot and offers over 4,700 square feet of thoughtfully engineered living space with direct access to the lake and a rare emphasis on durability, comfort, and functionality.
This expansive residence features 4 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, while the walkout basement has already been thoughtfully prepared for future expansion and additional living space tailored to the owner’s vision. While Lake Arenal is celebrated for its cooler year-round climate and refreshing mountain-lake breezes, conditions that rarely require air conditioning, the residence is nevertheless equipped with air-conditioning and ceiling fans throughout, further reinforcing the home’s executive level of comfort and quality.
Beyond its secure perimeter walls and gated entrance, the residence makes a striking first impression with a beautifully landscaped approach, expansive brick-paved driveway, and covered main entrance designed to create a refined sense of arrival. The grand foyer opens into an expansive open-concept living environment where the chef’s kitchen, dining area, and great room are thoughtfully connected to create an inviting setting for both everyday living and entertaining.
At the heart of the main level is a generously scaled chef’s kitchen measuring approximately 21 x 17.5 feet. Designed for both entertaining and everyday living, the space features extensive custom cabinetry, expansive black stone countertops, a substantial central island with seating, gas cooktop and oven, double sink, under-sink water filtration system, disposer, walk-in pantry, and premium appliances. Bright, airy, and exceptionally functional, the kitchen serves as both a sophisticated culinary workspace and a natural social centerpiece within the home.
Elevated ceilings, abundant natural light, elegant box trim detailing, recessed lighting, neutral coastal tones, and beautiful light-tiled flooring enhance the home’s bright and airy contemporary aesthetic. The generously proportioned dining area is ideally suited for large family gatherings and formal dinners, while the adjoining great room is centered around a fireplace that creates a warm and inviting atmosphere, serving as a natural gathering point for relaxed evenings and social occasions alike.
Leading from the dining area, patio doors provide direct access to the elevated outdoor terrace and Jacuzzi area positioned above the walkout basement level. Finished with low-maintenance PVC decking, the terrace captures beautiful views of Lake Arenal and creates an exceptional setting for entertaining, outdoor dining, or relaxation while immersed in the surrounding tropical landscape. Leading off the great room, an ornate wooden staircase rises as a striking architectural focal point while also providing access to the expansive lower level.
The spacious principal suite is designed to offer beautiful natural light and peaceful lake views. Generous in scale, the suite is complemented by an expansive ensuite bathroom and substantial his-and-hers walk-in closets, creating a refined and highly functional executive-style living environment. Thoughtfully designed with both comfort and practicality in mind, the principal suite reinforces the home’s emphasis on spaciousness, quality, and everyday luxury. Extending from the principal suite is a personal gym, though the room could equally serve as a private office, meditation room, creative studio, or additional flex space tailored to the owenr's lifestyle.
Three generously sized guest bedrooms provide comfortable accommodations for a large family or visiting friends, each offering abundant natural light, and a bright contemporary aesthetic consistent with the home’s overall design. Connected by a well-appointed Jack-and-Jill bathroom, two of the suites create a functional and private arrangement ideally suited for guest stays, while the additional suite benefits from its own ensuite bathroom.
Currently unfinished, the walkout basement presents exceptional future development potential and has already been thoughtfully prepared for further expansion. The lower level is plumbed and configured for additional living space, including the possibility of a bedroom suite with ensuite bathroom. A dedicated laundry area is already in place, while this expansive level also offers the potential for a kitchenette, recreational or media room, guest accommodations, or a private in-law suite. With direct exterior access and substantial interior volume, the space offers tremendous flexibility for multigenerational living, extended guest stays, or the creation of an additional income-generating component tailored to the owner’s vision.
Constructed with block and concrete and built to American standards, the residence incorporates batt insulation in the attic and bathroom walls for enhanced sound reduction and energy efficiency. Fire-escape windows in the bedrooms, a whole-house 50-gallon electric water heater, ceramic flooring on the main level, and carefully engineered systems further distinguish the quality of construction. Pride of ownership is evident throughout this newly constructed residence, thoughtfully designed and built by the current owner, who brings many years of experience within the construction industry.
Outdoor living has been thoughtfully integrated throughout the property, with a brick-paved patio beneath the elevated terrace creating an additional covered entertaining and relaxation space. The expansive driveway, beautifully landscaped grounds, and extensive collection of mature fruit trees, including avocado, mango, citrus varieties, coconut, banana, plantain, papaya, guayaba, and more, create the ambiance of a private tropical estate immersed within the natural beauty of the Lake Arenal region.
To the rear of the property, a substantial standalone structure adds exceptional versatility and functionality to the estate. Encompassing approximately 1,365 square feet, this impressive six-car garage complex offers extensive additional space ideal for storage, a workshop, recreational use, hobby space, or future customization, with ample capacity for boats, jet skis, recreational vehicles, and multiple automobiles. Thoughtfully designed to complement the main residence, the structure significantly enhances the property’s appeal for collectors, outdoor enthusiasts, and multi-vehicle owners seeking the kind of flexible utility space rarely available within the Lake Arenal market.
Adding further long-term value and versatility, the structure also presents excellent potential for conversion into private guest casitas or income-producing accommodations, subject to buyer vision and any necessary approvals. Positioned to capture beautiful lake views, the space offers a compelling opportunity to introduce an additional hospitality or rental component to the property while maintaining the integrity and privacy of the main residence.
Beyond the detached garage structure, the property extends toward the lake through an expansive protected green area created by the lake setback regulations. While preserving privacy and the natural landscape, this additional open space remains fully enjoyable for the homeowners, offering direct access to the lake and an exceptional setting for outdoor recreation. From here, owners can easily launch kayaks, paddleboards, canoes, and other non-motorized watercraft, while also enjoying the convenience of storing recreational equipment close to the shoreline. The protected lakeside setting further enhances the property’s tranquil, estate-like atmosphere and unique connection to the natural beauty of Lake Arenal.
Security and convenience are seamlessly incorporated throughout the property with solar perimeter lighting, illuminated landscaping, interior and exterior security camera systems, concrete perimeter walls, and metal entry gates.
While privately positioned within a prime peninsula setting in the Lake Arenal region, the property also benefits from exceptional accessibility and proximity to essential services. Tilarán, the largest town within the Lake Arenal area, is located nearby and offers supermarkets, restaurants, cafés, pharmacies, medical services, banking, and a wide range of professional amenities. The residence is also conveniently situated approximately 1.5 hours from Liberia International Airport, with access provided entirely via well-maintained national roads, eliminating the need for four-wheel drive access.
In addition, the property is located within approximately 1.5 hours of La Fortuna, internationally recognized as the gateway to Arenal Volcano National Park and one of Costa Rica’s most visited tourism destinations. The region is renowned for its boutique resorts, fine dining, ziplining, ATV tours, hiking, horseback riding, and the world-famous thermal hot springs that have made the area a globally recognized lifestyle and adventure destination.
Rarely does a newly constructed lake-access residence combine this level of scale, structural quality, privacy, and lifestyle functionality within the Lake Arenal market. Offering exceptional construction standards, substantial garage capacity, tropical landscaping, future development potential, and full lake access, this is a property designed to serve as both an executive residence and a private lake-access retreat for full-time or refined vacation living.
