"description": "Nestled in the vibrant expat community of Nuevo Arenal, this charming home offers incredible potential for those looking to invest in a property with character and ample space. With a little TLC, this home can truly shine. \nSet on an expansive 19,201 square-meter lot, the house itself is 70 square meters, featuring two bedrooms, one bathroom, and a bright, open kitchen with a peninsula counter. Large west-facing windows flood the kitchen with natural light, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Although some updates are needed, the structure has solid “bones” that allow for creative renovations. Out back, a covered patio with natural rock flooring and lush plants provides a perfect spot for relaxing or hosting guests, surrounded by Costa Rica’s abundant nature. \nThe property offers ample space, making it perfect for farming, raising horses, or keeping other animals. It has previously been used as a permaculture farm and equine therapy project. Located near the end of a quiet dead-end road above the town of Aguacate, the home offers peace and tranquility while remaining close to a thriving community. The seller has priced this property attractively and seller financing is available. Priced to sell at $165,000. \n\n\nThis is a fantastic canvas to work with. Since the price point is quite competitive for nearly 2 hectares (approx. 4.7 acres) in the Arenal area, the goal is to highlight the \"lifestyle investment\" while being transparent about the \"fixer-upper\" status. \n \nThe Homesteader’s Dream -- Sustainable Living Awaits: 4.7-Acre Permaculture Estate in Nuevo Arenal \n \nEscape to the hills of Aguacate and reclaim a piece of Costa Rican paradise. This 19,201 m2 property is more than just a home; it’s a lifestyle waiting to be revived. Formerly a permaculture farm and equine therapy center, the land is primed for those who dream of self-sufficiency, horses, or a private sanctuary. \n \nThe Residence: A cozy 70 m2 footprint with a bright, open-concept kitchen. West-facing windows capture the golden hour light, and the covered rock-floor patio brings the jungle right to your doorstep. \n \nThe Land: Vast, usable acreage at the end of a quiet dead-end road, ensuring total peace and privacy. \n \nThe Potential: While the home needs some TLC, the \"good bones\" and seller financing make this the most accessible entry point into the Nuevo Arenal expat community. \n \nPrice: $165,000 | Seller Financing Available -- Bring your toolkit and your vision to transform this diamond in the rough into a world-class estate.",
