This property offers a peaceful tropical setting in Chachagua, a growing area located approximately 20 minutes from La Fortuna and the Arenal Volcano tourism region. Set at the end of a quiet dead-end road, the 5380 m2 property is surrounded by nature while remaining within easy reach of the area's restaurants, attractions, and services. The land is completely flat and easy to use, with mature tropical landscaping, palms, and a variety of established plants and trees, making it an attractive opportunity in the Costa Rica real estate market. At the back of the property, the land borders the Quebrada Chachagüita, with the river and surrounding rainforest providing a natural boundary and a strong sense of privacy. The existing improvements are centered around an outdoor living and guest area. A large swimming pool is surrounded by tropical gardens, with a spacious rancho providing a covered area for relaxing and entertaining. The rancho includes an outdoor kitchen with a sink and grill, making it well suited for gatherings and poolside use. There are also three rustic cabinas, each with its own ¾ bathroom and covered patio. One, the largest (40m2), is separate, the other 2 are attached under one roof. The cabinas are simple and basic, without kitchens, and could be used for guests, family members, or as short-term rental accommodations with some updating if desired, offering additional flexibility for buyers exploring Lake Arenal lakefront homes. They have 120v and 240v connections in place to facilitate a kitchen. Second stories can be built on the current structures to create more living space. Additional improvements include a bodega/storage building, and established pathways through the property. Potential & Location: The combination of flat land, existing structures, pool, tropical landscaping, and direct access to the natural surroundings gives the property several possible uses. It could work as a private family retreat, a small rental property, or as a base for a modest tourism project in an area that is gradually attracting more visitors and investment. Additional security is provided by a camera system put up between several neighbours that is keeping an eye on the roads going into the area. Chachagua remains considerably quieter than central La Fortuna, but its proximity to one of Costa Rica's main tourism destinations makes it an interesting area for longer-term investment. This is a property with a more private, tropical and rustic character, offering existing recreational and guest facilities with room to adapt the property to different personal or investment plans.
