A Pacific Coast Dream Home With Room to Roam

Recently, a close contact in Nicaragua sent me a listing that grabbed my attention…

The property is a modern, single-story home with three bedrooms and two bathrooms.

It’s located on Nicaragua’s southwestern Pacific coast in an area I know well. Last November, I had boots on the ground there.

The home’s design is clean, contemporary, and built around indoor-outdoor living.

Large sliding glass doors open onto the terrace and pool area, allowing the tropical climate and surrounding greenery to become part of the living experience.

Inside, the home features an open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area centered around a large island.

Outside, a private swimming pool is surrounded by tropical vegetation.

This property is located just south of the trendy town of San Juan del Sur, which sits on a crescent‑shaped bay bordered by forested hills that slope down toward the Pacific Ocean. …

The home’s modern design opens directly onto a private pool terrace surrounded by tropical greenery.

Known as the Emerald Coast, this is a dramatic region of towering cliffs, jungle-covered hills, rocky coves, and long, flat sandy beaches. It’s especially popular with surfers thanks to a rare wind phenomenon created by air currents off the Pacific and Lake Nicaragua—delivering consistent, day-long surf.

The epicenter of tourism here is San Juan del Sur.

I love San Juan’s laidback vibe—the wide horseshoe bay with pleasure craft bobbing on the incoming swell…the food vendors offering up grilled fish on the malecón…the brightly painted clapboard homes climbing the hillsides…

In recent years, San Juan has grown up. There’s a hospital…a well-established international dining scene…yoga studios and wellness centers…


The town of San Juan del Sur is set along a gracefully curving bay. This destination is stunningly beautiful and highly affordable.

Crucially, a new $400 million coastal highway is now carving a powerful “Path of Progress” through this region. I use the term Path of Progress to describe anything that improves the accessibility of a piece of real estate and increases its value.

Phase One of the project—nearing completion—runs 38 kilometers (about 23.5 miles) from the Costa Rican border, through San Juan del Sur, and north toward Tola, home to the master-planned luxury community of Rancho Santana.

This road is transforming access along the Emerald Coast. Yet you can still find compelling value here.

The listing my contact sent me is a prime example…

What really stands out is the scale of the property. The residence sits on 3.8 acres of lush tropical land.

The land creates a sense of privacy that’s hard to replicate in denser coastal developments.

And that gives its future owner options. You could build guest casitas…landscape the gardens…or develop the outdoor entertaining areas.

Although secluded, the property is still only around 15 minutes from San Juan del Sur and close to several surf beaches.

It’s being offered furnished and turnkey.

The open-plan kitchen is designed for tropical indoor-outdoor living, with a large island at the center of the home’s main living space.

So, with this property, you get a modern tropical home…privacy and land…access to surf beaches…and proximity to one of Central America’s best-known lifestyle towns.

And the price for all this is $399,000.

To be clear, this is not a capital appreciation or income play. This is all about the lifestyle.

If you’re looking for a piece of tropical paradise on a sensationally beautiful stretch of coast, this is a place where you can find compelling value.

You’ll find all the details in the full listing here.

From above, the scale and seclusion of the property become clear—nearly four acres of jungle-covered land with the Pacific coastline in the distance.
