Casa unifamiliar à venda Sabalito

Located just minutes from Nuevo Arenal and nestled amongst the lush tropical jungle foothills of Tierras Morenas mountains lies Living Forest Eco-Retreat Center and Lodge. Nestled in a mature forest, this secluded jewel beckons those who want to experience true Pura Vida. Within the property lies the Sabalo River which runs through and around the retreat, providing soothing music in harmony with nature's surroundings. Walking or just relaxing amongst the property's numerous flowering plants and fruit trees, observing the hummingbirds, toucans, howler monkeys, and butterflies that frequent this secluded oasis defines the true essence and magic of Pura Vida. This spectacular 5 building resort originated in 2012 as a wellness focused destination and a resource for travelers and locals alike. Each of the eco-designed buildings were built to take advantage of the year-round pleasant temperatures and fresh air. The numerous bathrooms, large yoga deck and community dining area are all designed for inviting, covered open-air enjoyment. In total there are 9 bedrooms, 9 baths, two kitchens, two dining areas, an office, garage/storage facility and a newer-constructed cedar sauna within a few steps from the cool riverbank. Along with the native jungle trees, there are a variety of fruit/flowering trees near the river bed. The mature fruit trees, planted on or around 2012, include banana, plantain, avocado, guanabana, lemon dulce, papaya, lemon, grapefruit and jackfruit to name a few. You will also discover beautiful gardens on the grounds, from which many exotic flowers, herbs and medicinal plants thrive. The Living Forest Eco-Retreat Center and Lodge has always been a visitor's top destination for hosting world-class international retreats (yoga and wellness, cooking and art classes, parties, weddings, spa days) and so much more. With nearby Lake Arenal and a short driving distance to La Fortuna, you can take advantage of the numerous activities, restaurants, excursions and shopping. Living Forest has a long-standing, excellent reputation with Airbnb and local businesses seeking accommodations for small to large groups. Some of the Living Forest business partnerships include Tico Wind (the #1 winter destination for windsurfing and kitesurfing in Central America), Tula Vida Equine Therapy Center as well as numerous International yoga, healing, dance, writing, drumming and massage retreats. Teachers and participants regularly travel from the United States, Canada and throughout Europe for the Living Forest venues. There is a small staff, owner and volunteers who embrace and maintain Living Forest to its high standards. There are also plenty of opportunities with this property to expand services and/or events and to add gardens or an additional building if desired.
