Villa Brisa , Arenal, Tilaran, Guanacaste

Villa Aurea is where modern luxury meets natural majesty. Set within an exclusive gated community on the tranquil shores of Lake Arenal, this exceptional estate offers unobstructed panoramic views of the iconic Arenal Volcano and the lake. Resting on just under one hectare of landscaped grounds, it presents a rare chance to own a fully custom, solar-powered smart home in one of Costa Rica’s most breathtaking regions.

As the last residence on a private road, Villa Aurea provides exceptional privacy and security. Beyond the community’s secure entry, the property features its own grand automatic gate leading to a circular driveway, the main residence, and a private guest casita designed as a miniature version of the main home.

Both the main house and casita are single-story and fully ADA-compliant for comfort and accessibility. Designed in a circular layout to maximize views from every room, the main home showcases high-end craftsmanship, imported fixtures, and thoughtful detail throughout. A covered front patio introduces seamless indoor–outdoor living, ideal for entertaining or relaxing in the surrounding beauty.

At the heart of the home is a custom great room featuring solid Guanacaste wood doors, cabinetry, baseboards, and trim. The chef’s kitchen includes ZLINE and Bosch appliances, a large island, quartzite countertops, and a walk-in butler’s pantry with a deep freezer, sink, and additional Guanacaste cabinetry. Imported copper sinks are found throughout both residences.

Floor-to-ceiling European-style tilt-and-turn windows span the home, offering uninterrupted lake and volcano views. The formal dining area includes a built-in butler’s pantry with wine fridge and custom woodwork that continues the home’s warm, organic aesthetic.
