CASA FRODO: Semi-underground hobbit home near lake Arenal

Uniquely designed efficiency home in upscale neighborhood only 5 minutes from Rio Piedras at the west end of Lake Arenal. This home was designed and built by an architect who used it as his vacation home, as well as renting it out during his absence. The main area of the house consists in an open space kitchen - dining - living - bedroom area with large walk in closet. A large bathroom and laundry room are accessible through the kitchen. We find a winter garden in the back of the house, and a large porch under roof off the main area. Perfect as a starter home, private vacation home, guest house or as a vacation rental. The half acre property offers plenty of space for building a large home and pool, or whatever comes to your mind. The home is only 20 Minutes from the municipal hub Tilaran and 90 minutes from the international airport Liberia.
