Private 2-Bedroom Pool Home with Barbecue Area — Lagunilla Hills

Weekends here start at the pool. The barbecue is right beside it on a covered, tiled terrace — grill going, game on, everyone drifting between the water and the shade until it gets dark. The house keeps up with all of it. Two bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms, with doors that lead straight out to the pool. Air conditioning and ceiling fans for the hottest hours, tile floors, a walk-in closet. All of it sits on a quarter acre inside a gated community, with trees at the edges, security cameras and fiber internet throughout — as easy to live in year-round as it is to lock up, or to host guests when you're not using it. Lagunilla Hills is in Tárcoles, with ASADA community water and septic. Juan Santamaría International (SJO) is 58 km away by road. $250,000, with seller financing available. Come walk it, stand by the barbecue, and start the guest list.
