B58 Multi-featured country club beside San Luis Cove - $850,000
The Arenal Country Club was created less than a dozen years ago by a beach developer who wanted mountain air and tennis for himself. In the middle years of the next decade it suffered from poor management and deteriorated badly. Current ownership has dramatically restored the facilities and prepared it for a possibly great future. Its location is its greatest attribute, sitting as it does on landscaped terrain with a wonderful lake and mountain vista next to the 50-meter forest setback that surrounds most of the lake. ICE, the nation's electrical monopoly in charge of the lake, now allows access through its 50-meter zone to the lake along with the installation of floating docks, so a wide variety of watersports will be available at the club once the easy permitting process is done. The club has a huge covered pool with dressing rooms, steam room, and sauna, an indoor/outdoor restaurant with a magnificent kitchen, a recreation building with games and fitness equipment, a huge mirrored and specially floored aerobics room, and more. A 3BR 2BA rental home on the premises has been completely upgraded. However, the formerly impressive owners' home with private pool building needs further work. The current owners are willing to exclude this home and pool building from sale so as to reduce the price of the club substantially below $850,000. Find it on Google Earth at 10°30'24.42N and 84°55'53.74W.
