Located at the gateway to the Arenal Volcano National Park, this prestigious parcel of land in El Fósforo, just under a kilometer from the town of El Castillo, offers a rare opportunity to own land in one of Costa Rica’s most celebrated destinations. While El Castillo is known for its vibrant lakeside atmosphere, eco-resorts, and popular tourist attractions, El Fósforo provides a quieter, more tranquil neighborhood setting; the best of both worlds, with privacy and serenity alongside easy access to amenities.

The lot measures 882 m² and is perched high on a hillside, offering unobstructed views of both Lake Arenal and Arenal Volcano. With mostly flat terrain and infrastructure already in place, it is a straightforward site for building a private residence, vacation home, or boutique rental. Utilities and water are easy to install, and the location is conveniently accessible without the need for a 4x4 vehicle.

The Arenal Volcano National Park itself is a global eco-tourism landmark, encompassing more than 29,000 acres of rainforest, wildlife, and the iconic Arenal Volcano. Known for its dramatic landscapes, lava fields, rich biodiversity, and geothermal hot springs, the park is one of Costa Rica’s most visited natural wonders. Owning property on its edge means living each day with sweeping views of the volcano and lake while enjoying direct access to the hiking, wildlife, and adventure that make this region world-renowned.

Adding to its appeal, El Fósforo has recently introduced a new boat launch and recreational park area, giving residents and visitors direct access to Lake Arenal for boating, fishing, and leisure activities. This new development further enhances the neighborhood’s desirability and makes the property especially attractive for both lifestyle and investment.

A nearby lot has just been built out, and a well-designed, modest vacation home befitting the landscape has been recently completed by a reputable local builder. Should the purchaser wish, we can assist with connecting directly to this builder to create a similar home or something entirely unique to the buyer’s vision. With flat land and close proximity to the main paved road, delivering building materials is simple, making this lot truly ready to receive construction without complication.

El Fósforo is surrounded by eco-resorts, charming restaurants, and coffee shops, yet its peaceful character makes it especially appealing to those seeking a more relaxed lakeside lifestyle. The property is only a short distance from the town center of El Castillo and just a short drive to the bustling town of La Fortuna, home to hot springs, adventure tours, shopping, and dining.

This is one of the few remaining Lake Arenal lots for sale that combines prestige, accessibility, and breathtaking scenery. Opportunities of this caliber are limited and do not last long. Whether your vision is a vacation retreat, income-generating rental, or eco-friendly home, this property represents both a secure investment and an invitation to live in one of Costa Rica’s most iconic destinations.
