Villa Aurea: Distinguished Guanacaste Estate with Panoramic Views of the Iconic Arenal Volcano & Lake Arenal

Set on nearly a hectare of beautifully landscaped grounds, Villa Aurea is a 7,100 sq ft three-bedroom, four-bathroom custom residence that defines elevated living in the Lake Arenal region. Positioned as the final home on a private road within an exclusive gated community, the property offers unmatched privacy, exceptional security, and breathtaking panoramic views of both Lake Arenal and the Arenal Volcano. The estate includes the main residence, along with a private guest casita designed as a refined, scaled version of the primary home. Main Residence Thoughtfully designed in a circular layout to capture dramatic views from every angle, the main residence showcases exceptional craftsmanship, imported fixtures, and a seamless indoor–outdoor lifestyle. A covered front terrace introduces the home’s warm, organic aesthetic and places nature at the center of everyday living. At the heart of the home is a grand great room accented by solid Guanacaste wood doors, cabinetry, baseboards, and trim. The chef’s kitchen features premium imported ZLINE and Bosch appliances, a generous island, quartzite countertops, and a walk-in butler’s pantry complete with deep freezer, additional sink, and custom wood cabinetry. Imported copper sinks add character and artisanal detail throughout both the primary home and the casita. Floor-to-ceiling European tilt-and-turn windows wrap the residence, immersing each room in natural light and framing uninterrupted views of the lake and volcano. The formal dining area includes a built-in butler’s pantry with wine fridge and custom woodwork that enhances the home’s cohesive, elegant design. The principal suite is a private retreat offering sweeping views of Lake Arenal directly from the king-sized bed. It includes a spacious walk-in closet and dressing area, along with a spa-inspired ensuite featuring dual vanities, a water closet, and dual rain showers. A versatile guest bedroom or home office occupies the opposite wing and includes custom cabinetry and a Murphy bed, allowing for flexible use of space. Nearby, a dedicated home theater wired for 7.1 audio delivers a premium cinematic experience. The large four-car garage offers abundant room for vehicles, watercraft, and recreational equipment, and whole-house audio extends throughout the home, including the garage. Smart Home & Sustainability Villa Aurea incorporates a fully integrated smart-home system and is capable of operating entirely off-grid. The estate is powered by an advanced solar panel array with a complete battery system, while still maintaining connection to the public grid for backup. Both the main residence and the guest casita are ADA-compliant, ensuring accessibility throughout. Additional features include a whole-house water filtration and softening system, comprehensive surge protection, and a full interior and exterior security system. Guest Casita The private casita is a thoughtfully executed extension of the main residence, echoing the same level of quality and design. It features a full imported ZLINE kitchen, a comfortable living area, one bedroom and one bathroom, an office, and its own laundry room. The casita operates on an independent solar and battery system and enjoys the same captivating views of Lake Arenal and the Arenal Volcano. A Sanctuary of Luxury, Privacy & Sustainability Villa Aurea is more than a home, it is a sanctuary where modern luxury, intelligent design, and Costa Rica’s natural beauty converge. Offering unparalleled privacy, architectural excellence, and the rare ability to live completely off-grid without compromise, Villa Aurea stands as one of Guanacaste’s most distinguished estates.
