Our clients recognize good value when they see it
Friday, March 27th, 2009
We’ve just completed our latest Your Future Now real estate tour.
On Your Future Now we round up the best deals and showcase the finest developments in an intensive, full-throttle 3-day tour across the country.
Just before the tour, a developer on Nicaragua’s central coast introduced a new release of beach casitas with “romantic” floor-plans, splash pools and an extreme attention to detail in the finishing.
It’s the price that got us excited: these casitas start at $139,000, turnkey.
Remember, the casitas are steps away from a championship golf course, equestrian center and all the amenities you would expect in a luxury oceanside resort community.
Three casitas sold in just two days
But there was more to it. As part of the launch the developer offered the first 4 people to purchase a casita a full furniture and soft goods package (even the hammock!) in the price. We just hand over the key for a fully turnkey experience.
Well, 3 casitas have already sold, two of them on Your Future Now. So this offer now only applies to one more purchase. Contact us for more information
With change comes opportunity
Our goal in this market is to uncover the best deals in the best locations, backed up by quality master-plans. We’re finding that it’s the tough times that create unique opportunity for those who innovate and broaden their horizons. And our clients are finding opportunities here in Nicaragua for less-expensive, less-stressful living.
We’d love to show you these casitas, and other good value offerings here in Nicaragua.
There’s no more efficient way to get a handle on the property market than by joining our Your Future Now tours. The next tour runs 1-3 May 2009. Contact us for the details.

True beachfront property is highly sought after at Hacienda Iguana in Nicaragua
Saturday, July 7th, 2007Investors and visitors who look for beaches with breathtaking beauty are attracted to Iguana
We are pleased to announce an opportunity for true pristine beachfront – a 1 acre property where you can step right onto the sand of one of Nicaragua’s finest beaches. A completed golf course; the Colorado surf break -the most famous in the country- flaming red sunsets and access to all the amenities at Hacienda Iguana beach resort complete the picture perfectly.
Beaches, surfing and golf – a magnetic combination
Beachfront property in Nicaragua has shown to appreciate at a faster rate than ocean-view property. Combine this with some of the best surfing on the planet; the fastest growing real estate development in the country and a completed golf course … the result – a great investment option and lifestyle buy.
Everything’s up-and-running already
Right now, development along Nicaragua’s south Pacific Coast is booming. This is great news for the buyer looking to move into a first-rate community where everything’s up and running. At Iguana you don’t have to wait for amenities to arrive. You can enjoy them right now.
For more information click here.
Nicaragua is rapidly coming under the spotlight of those seeking a tax efficient country in which to live, an affordable country in which to retire and a place of outstanding natural beauty to revel in. The boomers have not yet arrived in mass – but they will. The demographics are set for growth. Titled, fee simple true beachfront property such as this will attract the highest demand.
This 1 acre property, with fee simple title is exclusively listed with Coldwell Banker and combines 2 separately deeded 1/2 acre properties. The asking price is $360,000.

The surf breaks at Iguana are featured on our Surf Nicaragua vacation packages.
How to Build a 3000 sq. ft. House in Nicaragua in 100 days (or Less)
Monday, March 12th, 2007We’re currently building a house behind the Colorado surf break, in the Popoyo area north of San Juan. Building a house in Nicaragua is a simple process. In fact in many ways it’s easier than building in the US. But we’re building with no general contractor and few subcontractors, which means being onsite and supervising almost every day.
One problem with running a project yourself is you’re often tempted to make big changes at the last minute, something you would rarely do after you signed a contract with a general contractor. For instance, our house has a three story tower, which was originally square, the easiest shape to build. Two weeks into construction the design was changed to round, which meant a complete redesign of that corner of the foundation and half the beams and columns of the house. Another last minute change was a 14 foot long arched entryway leading into the courtyard. Bathrooms have been enlarged, windows added, and rooms rearranged, all after construction was started.
Day 17
Day 23, finishing first floor
Day 30. This shows the scale of the project. The central courtyard will have a pool and poolhouse when finished.
Taking the crew home, on some days up to 12 of them will ride in with me
By the time the project is finished, we will have used enough steel to build a dump truck (or a half dozen Honda Accords)
Featured property on Laguna de Apoyo: Club Vistalagos
Sunday, February 4th, 2007Your own private paradise – in the heart of everything
The crater lake of Laguna de Apoyo is one of the magical places on this earth: lush, serene, panoramic and simply fabulous. Imagine a position on this crater lake only 3 km from the oldest city of the Americas and a development master-plan that combines great vision with painstaking attention to detail. Welcome to Club Vistalagos.
Picture a clear blue crater lake stretching out in front of you and the spires of Granada cathedral behind you. Envision a club house located on possibly the most spectacular spot of this most remarkable lake, a terracing infinity pool, a masterfully-appointed restaurant and bar and a look-out, all perfectly orientated to catch the sunset.
We anticipate higher levels of capital appreciation on this side of Laguna de Apoyo – given its connection to Granada – than other, more distant, areas on the crater lake. Rental possibilities for completed homes in this area will also be in great demand, drawing off Granada’s buoyant rental market.
