Welcome to La Casa Piedra! This gorgeous Molejon stone exterior home is nestled in the higher hills of Nuevo Arenal offering breathtaking views of Lake Arenal and the surrounding mountainsides! This unique tranquil home is perfectly situated on top of a 9,304.25 m2 (2.30 acres) expertly landscaped and maintained parcel with nothing but stunning views in every direction!
Behind the custom private gate, the expansive property encompasses the main home and a newly finished casita offering complete privacy and security. The home’s entry patio is THE place to be to enjoy birds, views of Lake Arenal and our fabulous evening sunsets! The warmth and beauty of the home’s stone facade glows from the morning and afternoon sun while you are kept cool underneath the new oversized insulated roof with all new LED recessed lighting. The tranquility you experience while relaxing from either this patio or from the casita patio are not to be missed!
The Main home consists of three bedrooms and two and one-half baths. The kitchen is centrally located with the family room to the rear and dining area adjacent to the kitchen towards the front of the home. The main entrance to the home is flanked by a set of beautiful wood French doors that lead into the dining area (or smaller family room) adjacent to the kitchen. The area is very flexible for whatever your needs may be. There is a breakfast bar between the kitchen and entry space with comfortable seating for four. Behind the kitchen is a hallway leading to a secondary large refrigerator and the home’s laundry area, complete with a brand new full-sized washer and dryer. This area is large enough to house a secondary pantry should you desire. The current owners also have a design drafted which includes a kitchen expansion and ideas for the laundry/pantry space that will be made available to the new owners.
The warm and comfortable family/living room with adjacent half bath were recently updated from an enclosed patio room and include a wall of windows along with a sliding glass door. From the living room you will enjoy refreshing cross breezes and lovely views of the property grounds and casita just beyond.
The tranquil Master bedroom is located across from the secondary bedrooms, providing ample privacy. From this bedroom you will enjoy wonderful Lake Arenal views as well as views of the property’s landscaped hills that provide complete privacy from the front of the house. The Master boasts a large brand-new custom cedar closet with built-in shelving, drawers, lighting, and a self-draining dehumidifier to keep everything fresh and damp-free. The new instant water heater ensures the entire house has an unlimited supply of hot water. For unusually warm days and nights, the bedroom has an individual A/C unit installed. Both of the secondary bedrooms are joined by a shared bath, and are amply sized with their own closets and larger windows with beautiful window coverings. From each bedroom you will enjoy fresh air circulation and views of the extensive grounds.
The casita is a magical, immersive hamlet unto itself, set on the edge of the lush forest with some of the best views on the property. Everything in the casita is brand new and the space has been lovingly designed by the current owners. It is fully self contained, including its own laundry, to luxuriate in the warmth of the space and enjoy perfect views of Lake Arenal and the sloping hills of the property. The casita boasts floor to ceiling glass slider doors with screens and shelving above the curtain rods, upper air circulation windows, a custom-built cedar wardrobe, beautiful bath with walk-in shower and a gorgeous kitchen complete with a built-in cooktop. No detail has gone unplanned in this casita – from custom ironwork, woodwork and cabinetry, granite countertops, tilework, recessed lighting – to the hand-forged wrought-iron railing around the edges of the casita walk-around patio! Adjacent to the casita is the secure gardener’s bodega and garden sink.
There is a beautiful walking path that has been developed along the circumference of the property, meandering through the forest and along a small creek, ending up at a small orchard. Explore the citrus, coffee, avocado and other foragable plants throughout the property while appreciating a mecca of color that has been thoughtfully curated throughout.
The list of amenities both exterior and interior is numerous, and will be given to a potential buyer for this amazing property.
