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.
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
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.
We know that the actual process of buying real estate is fairly straightforward. But understanding how to leverage the current buyer’s market and cut great deals on exceptional properties is more difficult.
And that’s exactly what we do on our Your Future Now real estate tours.
Think of the tours as a road map to the best opportunities the country has to offer and an introduction to a brand new way of living.
In fact we’re so confident in the quality of the tour program and the amazing deals that we’ve unearthed, that we are pleased to cover all in-country expenses, with no obligation whatsoever. Learn more.
Our Your Future Now tours have been such a success that we’ve added a new date. The next tour will run 1-3 May 2009. Learn more about our real estate tours.
Finally, a logical approach to building in rapidly developing nations like Nicaragua. The project featured in the video below employs local community members and educates them in the skills of sustainable building by utilizing readily available byproducts, such as tires and plastic bottles, in conjunction with other local materials.
The aim is to empower local community members and create skills that will foster a healthy independence from economic fluctuations. At the same time the project serves as a case study for future developers – showing that the cleanest water comes from the sky and the most reliable energy source is independent.
A practical demonstration that aside from the obvious securities of living ‘off grid,’ the best development, and consequently the best long term investment, is one that invests in the local people and community.

“Shall we surf Yankee or Madera, Colorado or Panga Drops?”
Surfers in Nicaragua are spoiled. You’ll find consistent lefts, barreling rights, peeling point breaks and hollow A-frame peaks to suit all levels of surfer.
What’s more, the waves are uncrowded and the water is warm – what more could a surfer want?
Part of what makes surfing so special is the wind which blows offshore at least 300 days a year.
We’ve put together surf packages run by expert surfers who know the best breaks in Nicaragua. We can also combine a surf trip with other activities, such as sailing, canopy tours, yoga and community outreach.
Just tell us your interests, and we’ll design a tailored Surf Nicaragua package just for you.
If you’re dreaming of hot sun, beautiful beaches, empty surf, stunning resorts and that tingle of adventure that comes with a new destination, then come and experience Nicaragua with us. We’ll put together a Nicaragua vacation package tailored just for you. And for some reading to get you in the mood, check out our recommended reading list below:

Own a fully furnished, fully landscaped home with inspired architectural design for a single all-inclusive price. A truly turnkey experience where everything is taken care of.
This world class resort has been able to maintain a historical occupancy rate of between 70-80% for the past 4 years. Of all the development communities in San Juan del Sur, this community is the farthest along and has set the bar for others up and coming. Each unit is individually owned while professionally managed and maintained by the hotel.
The profits from the luxury resort are used to fund the A. Jean Brugger Charitable Foundation. This is best practice social responsibility – where a social and financial mission are so inter-twined to be inseparable. Where else can you sip a Margarita with a view like the one above of the pool at Bistro la Canoa knowing that you are helping make Nicaragua a better place?
Locals, expatriates and tourists flooded to Granada this past week for the Fifth International Poetry Festival. According to the BBC the festival brought together 130 poets from 54 countries.
The event was opened by n poet and award-wining author of literary works, Giacondo Belli. Also taking to the stage was iconic poet and priest, Ernesto Cardenal.
Poetry runs deep in Nicaraguan culture and the festival offers a unique opportunity for poets to have their work heard by an international audience.
Here’s a video taster of the music festival held earlier this month at Casa Llanta, an eco-community located a little south of San Juan del Sur in Nicaragua. The event was such a success that it will now take place on an annual basis.
What’s more, Earthships are now firmly on the green real estate map in Nicaragua.
Congratulations to Brooke Rundle, Tim Kelly, Matty Powell, Justin Lyon and Samuel Chally for pulling the festival together. The video is by David Kalani and there’s more to come. Enjoy it below and for anyone interested in Earthships, you can follow an account of the building process and check out our property information.

Are you curious about Nicaragua? Maybe you’ve heard some stories about the empty surf breaks, the great fishing, the eco-adventures or historic colonial towns?
Life is good for many people living abroad. Often mentioned are things like a lower cost of living, more affordable real estate, the experience of a new culture, cheaper healthcare and warmer weather.
And, for many, moving abroad is an opportunity for reinvention and a way to escape from the drudgery of 9-5 living.
Still, living overseas is not for everyone. The best way to determine whether Nicaragua is right for you is to come and experience it first hand.
We’ve got the contacts, we know the destinations, we’ve toured every inch of the country and we’re delighted to bring you the best the country has to offer. Contact us for a Nicaragua vacation package just for you.
