Key facts
About this property
Welcome to Casablanca, a modern two-bedroom, two-bathroom home located in the tranquil village of El Castillo on the southern shore of Lake Arenal, with a direct view of the iconic Arenal Volcano. This American-style residence spans 92 m² and is set on a 1,084 m² lot, providing a unique combination of contemporary comfort and immersion in nature, all while maintaining a sense of Costa Rican authenticity. Although the property is part of the village and has neighboring homes, it feels remarkably secluded due to the natural camouflage provided by the rainforest, ensuring privacy while still allowing easy access to local services and a short drive to La Fortuna. Casablanca has been thoughtfully designed to enhance your connection with the outdoors, creating a living experience reminiscent of a treehouse, where the surrounding forest is always in view. Large windows and elevated viewpoints fill the home with natural light and offer panoramic views of the volcano, lake, and rainforest. The interior features a warm and contemporary aesthetic, with rich wood ceilings throughout that add texture and craftsmanship. The home is fully air-conditioned for year-round comfort, and custom furniture made from exotic hardwoods adds character to each room. Built-in beds, elegant side tables, a work station, and a functioning fireplace in the living room reflect the meticulous attention to detail present in the home. Casablanca is sold fully furnished with tasteful, high-quality pieces, making it truly turnkey. The kitchen is a cozy and beautifully appointed space that exemplifies smart design. Despite its compact size, it offers impressive storage through well-planned cabinetry and a thoughtful layout. One of the kitchen's standout features is the moveable central island, which is set on wheels and topped with a solid exotic-wood countertop. This island is fitted with an integrated gas cooktop, allowing you to prepare meals while remaining connected with guests. It also serves as a comfortable breakfast bar, perfect for morning coffee or casual dining. The island can be repositioned to adapt to your needs, expanding the living area when more space is required. The refrigerator is neatly built into a custom enclosure, keeping the kitchen looking streamlined and contemporary while providing additional hidden storage. The main floor bedroom is discreetly located just off the main living area, offering both privacy and comfort. A well-appointed bathroom with a walk-in shower is conveniently situated just outside the bedroom, close enough for comfort yet separate for guest use. A notable feature of this bedroom is the patio doors that provide direct access to the garden terrace.
