Why This Property is Special

Most homes in Costa Rica offer either nature or convenience — rarely both. This property gives you the feeling of being tucked inside a private tropical sanctuary while still being minutes from everything you need.

The land itself has a calm, grounded energy: mature gardens, mountain air, and a sense of privacy that’s hard to find. It’s the kind of place where mornings feel slow and intentional, and evenings settle into quiet views and soft light.

What makes it truly rare is the combination of location, layout, and lifestyle. Properties with this level of privacy, usable land, and year‑round comfort simply don’t come on the market often — especially in this part of Arenal.

The Rare Combination

1. Privacy Without Isolation

The property feels tucked away in its own tropical sanctuary, surrounded by mature gardens and natural beauty. Yet you’re only minutes from town, services, and the main road — a balance that’s almost impossible to find in this region.

2. Usable, Comfortable Land

Unlike many steep or irregular Costa Rica lots, this property offers flat, usable areas perfect for gardening, expansion, or outdoor living. The layout makes the land feel larger, more functional, and more enjoyable day‑to‑day.

3. Year‑Round Comfort

The Arenal microclimate gives you cooler temperatures, fresh breezes, and a comfortable environment without the heat and humidity of the coast. It’s the kind of climate people move here for — and it’s getting harder to find.

The Three Businesses

1. Lucky Bug Bed & Breakfast — Butterfly Room

An award‑winning, five‑room B&B recognized among the top 1% of B&Bs worldwide by TripAdvisor. Each room is uniquely designed with vibrant Costa Rican artistry, offering guests a peaceful retreat surrounded by rainforest, wildlife, and the serenity of Lake Arenal.

2. Lucky Bug Gallery — Panorama

A well‑known art gallery featuring original works by Costa Rican artists, including the owner and her daughters. The gallery attracts visitors from all over the region and supplies artwork to hotels, homes, and collectors. Its colorful, nature‑inspired pieces make it both a cultural attraction and a steady revenue source.

3. Restaurante Caballo Negro — Corned Beef Hash & Reuben

A beloved restaurant famous for its homemade corned beef, Reuben sandwiches, German specialties, and creative international dishes. With a strong local and expat following, it has become a destination in itself — known for quality, consistency, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

Location Advantages

A Peaceful Setting Near Lake Arenal

The property sits in a quiet, nature‑rich area just minutes from Lake Arenal. Guests and residents enjoy cool breezes, lush greenery, and abundant wildlife — including toucans, monkeys, and tropical birds. It’s a serene environment that feels worlds away from the noise, yet close to everything you need.

Central to Major Destinations

Perfectly positioned between La Fortuna and Liberia, the property offers easy access to hot springs, waterfalls, national parks, beaches, and the Liberia International Airport. It’s an ideal base for travelers exploring the region or for owners who want convenience without sacrificing privacy.

Safe, Private, and Easily Accessible

The property is located on a paved road with reliable access year‑round. The area is known for its safety, friendly community, and peaceful atmosphere — making it attractive for families, retirees, and long‑term guests.

A Climate People Love

The elevation provides a comfortable, spring‑like climate with cooler temperatures than the coast. No need for air conditioning — just fresh mountain air and natural breezes.
