H123 "Secret Garden" home with pool, spa on 1 1/4 acres - $200,000
Near the village of Nueva Guatemala, here is a pretty 2BR 2BA Tico home of 1356 sq. ft.t that is a great vacation getaway among other attributes and uses. It's a few miles northwest of Lake Arenal and so is closer to Liberia's international airport. The home is up-to-date and set amid flower-filled gardens. There's a fine small swimming pool as well as a roomy spa. It's a perfect setting to enjoy the warm semi-tropical atmosphere, especially if you are escaping winter months in the north. The owners, who live also in the Central Valley, call this their secret garden. This is indeed a "secret" place, far from tourists and from the Gringos living around the lake, but, as noted above, it is quicker to get to from the international airport at Liberia than is Tilaran and Lake Arenal. It is perhaps 25 minutes from Sabalito and the north end of Lake Arenal.
The dormant volcano Tenorio gives character to the countryside.
The small finca occupies a largely level area amid the rolling hills west of the dormant volcano Tenorio. This is the mountain from which descends the famous Rio Celeste or Blue River, which not only has the unique color but also a beautiful wide waterfalls with swimmable pool. The mountain also has hot springs, though none very close to Nueva Guatemala. The site is about a 20-minute drive from the northwest end of Lake Arenal.
The house is set among shade trees and oramentals with a wide level lawn in front of the veranda. A large circular custom-made spa rises above a corner of the swimming pool. A dressing room/bathroom is beyond it.
