Property Description

Set on 63,677 m� (15.7 acres) of regenerated land near Chachagua, this property stands out for its distinctive architecture, natural setting, and range of potential uses. Located just 5 minutes from downtown Chachagua, 20 minutes from La Fortuna and Arenal Volcano, and approximately 2.5 hours from San Jos� International Airport, it offers a balance of accessibility and seclusion. The main residence sits on an 18,276 m� portion of the land and offers approximately 180 m� of interior space, plus 120 m� of covered wraparound terrace and outdoor utility areas. Recently renovated, the home reflects a unique blend of German engineering, African influence, and Costa Rican building traditions. Its circular design, elevated perimeter, and continuous veranda create a naturally ventilated living environment, minimizing the need for air conditioning while maintaining a strong connection to the outdoors an architectural approach that stands out within Costa rica real estate. Interior spaces are open and expressive, with custom wood ceilings and individually crafted structural elements. The layout includes a main bedroom, mezzanine sleeping area, two bathrooms, and flexible living areas that can adapt to different uses or configurations. A newly built two story guest cabin (2025) adds approximately 24 m� of interior space, along with a 25 m� patio and attached bodega. With its own kitchenette, porch, and balcony, it functions well as a guesthouse, rental unit, studio, or private workspace. At the front of the property, a separate caf� structure of approximately 125 m� provides additional opportunity. While it requires renovation, the existing layout with parking, a gazebo style seating area, and a separate building with bathrooms and a shower lends itself to a small caf�, workshop venue, retreat space, or other commercial or community oriented use. What was once cleared pasture has been thoughtfully restored into a dense, thriving ecosystem. Today, the property forms part of a biological corridor, with mature forest, established gardens, and regular wildlife sightings including sloths, howler monkeys, toucans, owls, and a wide range of bird species an increasingly rare offering within Lake Arenal real estate. Private access to both the Chachagua River and Quebrada Pequeca adds a defining natural feature, with shaded areas, flowing water, and multiple spots to enjoy the surroundings. The property is subdivided into ten titled plots, offering flexibility for further development, resale, or expansion. Several additional building sites are available, making it suitable for a multi home compound or retreat concept. Overall, the property combines a strong sense of place with practical versatility. It can function as a private residence immersed in nature, a small-scale hospitality or retreat project, a creative or wellness space, or a multi family compound with room to grow. Fully fenced with gated access, it offers both privacy and long-term potential in a rapidly developing area.
