About this property
Located in El Castillo, Alajuela, just above the shores of Lake Arenal, this tropical bohemian-inspired home embodies the essence of relaxed living in Costa Rica, with the iconic Arenal Volcano as a backdrop. The residence is set on a 1,273 m² lot and features two bedrooms and two bathrooms, nestled along a peaceful road surrounded by lush tropical gardens filled with a variety of fruit trees, flowering plants, and aromatic herbs. An elevated covered terrace serves as a natural viewpoint, ideal for unwinding, entertaining, or simply enjoying the stunning views of the volcano and the verdant rainforest. Originally a doctor's office, the current owners have transformed this space into a soulful retreat that reflects the natural beauty and simplicity of Costa Rican life. The design emphasizes simplicity, encouraging slow mornings, long conversations, and quiet evenings spent admiring the mountains and the majestic Arenal Volcano. The heart of the home is the inviting covered terrace, adorned with hammocks, soft ambient lighting, handcrafted details, and natural textures, creating a relaxed and authentic atmosphere. Inside, the home continues this organic aesthetic with warm wood finishes, artisanal details, and thoughtfully selected furnishings that foster a deep connection to the environment. The open-concept living room and kitchen flow directly from the expansive terrace, framed by floor-to-ceiling windows that allow natural light and the surrounding landscape to fill the space, maintaining a constant connection to the outdoors. A floor-seating lounge area enhances the laid-back vibe, designed for gathering and unwinding rather than formality. The kitchen is simple yet functional, equipped for everyday living while preserving the home's natural character. On the opposite side of the terrace, the spacious primary bedroom and ensuite continue the warm, organic aesthetic, featuring rich wood interiors, neutral tones, earthy finishes, and contemporary fixtures that create a calming and harmonious atmosphere.
