Description
Tilaran – Arenal, Guanacaste, Costa Rica Real Estate Sale | Venta
Welcome to Santa Elena, a residential enclave defined by how its residences are integrated into the land rather than imposed upon it. Architecture, elevation, and spacing have been carefully considered to preserve long views, privacy, and the natural canvas of Lake Arenal. The result is a refined residential environment where landscape and design exist in quiet balance.
Within this composed setting, this 6981.65 m² (1.72 acres) lakeview lot offers an exceptional opportunity to build a private residence or estate-style home. Located in El Aguacate, the property overlooks Santa Elena Island and enjoys expansive views across Lake Arenal toward Arenal Volcano and the surrounding rolling hills. Offered at $ 200,000, the lot combines elevation and a sense of openness rarely found within a gated lake community.
The property is predominantly flat, offering an ideal foundation for architectural flexibility and efficient construction. Positioned at one of the highest points within the community, the lot sits above neighboring homes, ensuring open, unobstructed lake views. Along one boundary, the property borders a forested area designated to remain undeveloped, further reinforcing privacy and preserving the natural setting.
Santa Elena is characterized by low-density planning and architectural cohesion. Estate-style homes are already established within the community, each positioned to maintain visual separation and respect the surrounding landscape. Generous lot spacing contributes to the sense of calm, permanence, and discretion that defines the neighborhood.
Infrastructure throughout the community has been designed with restraint, including concrete paved access roads, a secure electronic entrance gate, and underground utilities, allowing modern services to exist without visual intrusion. The community feels settled, private, and intentionally composed.
Despite its sense of seclusion, Santa Elena remains well connected. The community is a short drive to Tronadora and Nuevo Arenal, approximately 30 minutes from Tilarán, the region’s primary service center, and within one hour of La Fortuna, one of Costa Rica’s most visited destinations. The property is also within approximately 2 hours’ drive of the renowned beaches of Guanacaste and the world-famous Monteverde Cloud Forest, offering access to both coastline and cloud forest while maintaining a quiet lakeside setting.
For those drawn to Lake Arenal for its beauty, tranquility, and sense of permanence, this property offers a rare combination of elevation, privacy, and access. Santa Elena’s composed approach to development ensures that both the landscape and the lifestyle it supports remain protected over time.
