Amazing Starter Home & Butterfly Garden Business in Nuevo Arenal APMLS0049

3 Bedrooms | 1 Bathroom | 975m² Lot | Walking Distance to Town

Here is a wonderful opportunity to own a cozy home, a thriving tropical garden, and a small established business concept all in Nuevo Arenal, Costa Rica, and within walking distance of the town center.

Set on a 975 m² lot approximately one quarter acre, this property offers an appealing combination of an affordable starter home and a beautiful, income producing possibility for someone who wants to live in paradise while remaining active.

The home includes:

– 3 bedrooms
– 1 bathroom
– A simple kitchen area
– Covered, gated side porch
– Open front porch
– Updated roof structure, insulation, and ceiling.

The current owner has already completed important renovations. The original wood roof structure was replaced with metal, along with new roofing panels, insulation, and a new interior **ceiling**.

The home is humble but comfortable and ready for the next owner’s ideas. The kitchen can be easily completed with a refrigerator, stove, and a few open shelves creating a practical space with everything needed for everyday living.

At present, no one is living in the home. It is being used as a visitor center and souvenir area for the property’s special feature: it’s beautiful butterfly conservatory and garden.

Butterfly Conservatory & Garden

Next to the home is a lush and enchanting butterfly conservatory. Guests enter from one side and stroll through a thriving tropical garden filled with plants, color, and the peaceful beauty of nature.

The property has been welcoming visitors and offering locally made souvenirs. The covered, gated side porch is currently used as a comfortable place to receive guests, relax, and work with plants while waiting. The open front porch is another charming space for succulents, tropical plants, or simply enjoying the garden.

Near the entrance is a small bodega that has been used as a nursery. This could continue as part of the butterfly garden and plant business, become a workshop, or serve as useful storage.

Several small hotels in the area have sent their guests to visit the garden, creating a lovely opportunity for someone who enjoys working with visitors, plants, nature, and the local community.

A Flexible Opportunity

This property could be ideal for:

– A first home in Costa Rica
– A retiree who wants a manageable, enjoyable project
– Someone seeking a small garden, nursery, or visitor-based business
– A buyer who wants to live on-site while developing the property
– An entrepreneur looking for a low-risk entry into life and business in the Arenal area

The home could use a little TLC and personal finishing, but it offers an excellent foundation. With its existing visitor center, butterfly garden, nursery area, and close-to-town location, it is essentially ready for a new owner to continue and improve.

Best of all, this is an opportunity that will not break the bank. Affordable properties in Nuevo Arenal with a home, garden, and business potential are becoming harder to find.

For buyers wanting more room, a larger lot directly behind the property is also available separately.

A special opportunity for the right person, the adventurer in you to build a life in Costa Rica without taking on an overwhelming financial risk.
