This hidden gem is a quaint studio-style home nestled in the lush hills above Nuevo Arenal, offering a rare opportunity to own a slice of paradise in one of Costa Rica’s most tranquil regions. With a little vision and TLC, this studio could become a magical escape surrounded by nature—just a 7-minute drive from the center of town. As you’ll notice, we don’t have interior photos. The owner currently has the home rented, and although it’s easy to show, they preferred not to have interior pictures taken. It’s a true studio, with a partition wall separating the bedroom area and a fully enclosed bathroom. The studio itself measures just over 6m by 6m—approximately 36 square meters (385 sq ft). There’s a covered front porch or carport, as well as a covered and enclosed rear bodega area, which includes a laundry sink and storage space. Altogether, the roofed area spans about 9m by 9m, or roughly 81 square meters (870 sq ft). The home is approximately 15 years old. With some minor upgrades and renovations, this home is move-in ready. It’s not a large house, but for someone seeking a cozy retreat—or looking to expand—it could be the ideal weekend getaway, rental investment, or full-time minimalist haven. The lot is just over 1,100 square meters (a quarter acre+), and its slightly elevated position offers beautiful views of the sweeping hills. The expansive garden, filled with mature tropical plants and fruit trees, features shaded sitting areas perfect for relaxing and enjoying nature. It’s ready and waiting for a nature lover to continue its care. Utilities are in place: water, electricity, and internet ready. Nuevo Arenal is just 1.5 hours from Liberia International Airport and less than an hour from the adventure-packed attractions of La Fortuna and Arenal Volcano. Lake Arenal sits right on the edge of our wonderful village. Once you visit for the first time, you’ll understand why so many of us have chosen to make this our home.
