A brand-new luxury home with volcano and lake views.

Of course, it provides wonderful views of Lake Arenal, the opposing mountains and villages and, best of all, the fascinating and entertaining Arenal Volcano.

By day the perfect cone stands tall when not playing hide and seek behind quickly disappearing clouds or its own smokey plume. By night, one can often see fiery red trails of lava running down the northwestern side. The house is built to take advantage of these views.

Based on a very shallow V form, the house has a huge master suit and office to one side of the open-plan center and two ensuite bedrooms and a two-car garage on the other side. There is a living room, dining room, kitchen, and powder room in the center, but the dining room projects out toward the lake with large windows to provide a great visual experience while dining.

The custom-designed 3,874-square-foot house is on a paved road in a new residential development of 20 lots of various sizes and elevations. It's located on over one acre at the prow of the development with a never-to-be-disturbed view. The attached 2-car garage has separate automatic doors. Located just 10 minutes from Nuevo Arenal, about 25 minutes from Tilaran, there an easy 1 1/2 hour drive from the international airport at Liberia.

Besides a large Jacuzzi tub and shower in the roomy bathroom, the master suite has a a wet bar and a huge walk-in closet. The yard is already very nicely landscaped and leads to an impressive entry from which, with the door open, one can see all the way through the house to the lake
