Description
Tilaran – Arenal, Guanacaste, Costa Rica Real Estate Sale | Venta
True to its name, Otro Mundo, Another World, offers a lifestyle that feels wonderfully removed from the ordinary. The journey home is part of the experience. As the countryside unfolds beyond Nuevo Arenal, orchids bloom from handcrafted fence posts and the occasional herd of cattle grazes in neighboring fields, offering a reminder that life moves differently here. Each kilometer carries you further from the demands of daily life and closer to the peace, privacy, and natural beauty that await at Otro Mundo.
Set on 4.5 acres within a private gated community overlooking Lake Arenal, this exceptional property enjoys a setting defined by natural beauty, seclusion, and tranquility. A long, meandering driveway winds through beautifully maintained grounds shaded by mature trees, flowering plants, orchids, and an extraordinary collection of fruit and nut trees. As the forest canopy opens, the residence emerges in a peaceful clearing surrounded by gardens and protected by the natural beauty of its surroundings.
While there is one neighboring residence nearby, mature trees and thoughtfully established landscaping create a natural buffer that preserves the property’s sense of seclusion. Occupying a favored position within the community, closest to the lake and set forward of neighboring homes, Otro Mundo enjoys a setting that feels both private and connected to its exceptional natural surroundings.
Designed in a distinctive octagonal form, the 1,300-square-foot fully furnished residence takes full advantage of its exceptional setting. Windows on multiple elevations draw natural light throughout the interior while framing ever-changing views of the gardens, flowering trees, surrounding forest, and glimpses of Lake Arenal beyond. Natural light and views remain a defining feature throughout the home.
At the heart of the home, an open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area is anchored by a striking central fireplace, creating both a visual focal point and a welcoming gathering space. The kitchen combines practicality with warmth, featuring rich hardwood cabinetry, generous work surfaces, quality appliances, and views of the surrounding gardens. Designed for both comfort and flexibility, the residence features three spacious bedrooms and two bathrooms. The primary suite enjoys tranquil garden views and a private ensuite, while the remaining bedrooms adapt easily to guests, remote work, or creative pursuits.
The expansive spacious outdoor terrace extends the living experience outdoors, stretching across the front elevation and along one side of the residence. Partially covered, with ample opportunity to extend the overhead coverage if desired, it offers multiple areas for outdoor living. Steps descend from the terrace into the landscaped grounds below, where a stone fire feature creates an inviting place to gather at the end of the day.
The grounds at Otro Mundo are as compelling as the residence itself. Lovingly cultivated over many years, the property showcases an impressive collection of fruit and nut trees, including cacao, macadamia, coffee, soursop, guava, coconut, avocado, mandarin orange, lime, banana, pineapple orange, Valencia orange, tamarind, tangerine, sweet lime, and Guanacaste. The flowering gardens feature jasmine, gardenia, hibiscus, frangipani, heliconias, torch ginger, bromeliads, bougainvillea, royal poinciana, orchids, and numerous other tropical species that provide color and interest throughout the year.
Wildlife is an integral part of life at Otro Mundo. Monkeys are frequent visitors, while an abundance of birds, butterflies, and native wildlife regularly pass through the property. Morning light filters through the surrounding forest, and evenings often conclude with spectacular sunsets over Lake Arenal, creating a sense of calm that defines daily life at Otro Mundo.
Additional features include a shared well, a shared bodega housing the property’s mechanical systems and gardening equipment, and ample space for the future addition of a carport or garage should one be desired.
Despite its peaceful setting, Otro Mundo is well positioned to enjoy the conveniences and attractions that make the Lake Arenal region so desirable. The welcoming town of Nuevo Arenal is just 10 kilometers away and offers supermarkets, pharmacies, banks, cafés, restaurants, and everyday services, along with a lakeside park where residents can dock their boats and enjoy access to Lake Arenal. The thermal hot springs and outdoor adventures of the La Fortuna region are within easy reach, while the larger service center of Tilarán provides additional shopping, professional services, and medical facilities. Liberia International Airport is approximately 90 minutes away, making both domestic and international travel straightforward and convenient.
Offering a rare balance of seclusion, natural beauty, and accessibility, Otro Mundo invites its owners to embrace a quieter, more intentional way of living. Here, mornings begin with birdsong, days unfold at nature’s pace, and evenings conclude beneath unforgettable sunsets over Lake Arenal. It is a property designed not simply to be owned, but to be experienced.
