by Margaret Summerfield, Pathfinder Ltd.
Right now there’s a scurry of investors making their way to Nicaragua’s South Pacific Coast. Why?
Because the developers at Rancho Santana have announced the release of 27 one- to three-acre ocean- and valley-view lots in this first-class development… with prices starting at $36,000.

The same magical stretch of Pacific Riviera that has prices in Costa Rica marked at a premium.

That’s a sensational price considering it’s on the same magical stretch of Pacific Riviera that has prices in Costa Rica marked at a premium — Rancho Santana lies just 50 miles north of Costa Rica!
This is one of Nicaragua’s first development projects, and a benchmark for development in the country. It’s a gated community built on prime real estate on the Pacific Riviera with five expansive, private beaches.
The lots on offer meld into the natural beauty of the development’s lush green rolling hills, with stunning ocean, mountain, and valley views that are signature of Rancho Santana’s properties.
Situated along the highest ridge of this exclusive community, prices for these newly-released estate lots vary depending upon size and view, with several to choose from starting at a very affordable $36,000.

Nicaragua is an exotic land where the sun shines all day long… on rugged landscapes, tropical rivers, and miles and miles of undeveloped, pristine nature.

One of the biggest issues when buying property in Nicaragua right now is that the buyer is in some ways betting on the fact that the developer is going to deliver what’s in the sales brochure…that the pool will be installed, the internet access will arrive, the clubhouse will be built, and that the electricity and water will work.
Not so at Rancho Santana… the high-speed wireless internet service is installed and in use by residents. If the power company falters, the emergency generators take over to supply basic power needs.
The underground utilities are in, bringing homeowners both power and pure water beneath the nicely maintained and curbed roadways.
The sparkling ocean-side pool is already a favorite place to relax and watch the surf roll in.
Santana is a growing, thriving place. Visit anytime, and you won’t want for dinner company. With over 300 lots already purchased, 26 homes and 17 casitas dotting the lush landscape, and an additional eight homes currently under construction, a very established community is in place.
Homeowners are fully enjoying their investment. At any given time, you’ll see residents carrying their surfboards back from one of the pristine beaches, relaxing poolside, enjoying a fine-dining experience in the oceanside restaurant, or sipping a cool drink at the new seaside bar.

Overlooking the crashing Pacific Ocean waves, the Clubhouse includes a dining area, an office (with high speed Internet access), a conference room, an expansive patio, a library, and a swimming pool.
|
The more adventurous take off in groups hiking, biking, or on horseback (there’s a fully-staffed community stable with horses on site). They sojourn the surrounding hills, or explore the more than 3,000 acre reserve, the surrounding villages, or the dramatic cliffs above the ocean. There is also a health spa, and tennis and basketball courts, among other amenities.
It’s knock-your-socks-off beautiful. With five sand beaches (one of them rose-colored) and a private clubhouse, for use by residents only, where you could take your meals when you didn’t feel like cooking…or where you can meet with fellow residents for a cocktail on the patio while you watch the sun set in its tropical glory over the crashing Pacific before you.
All the comforts of the 21st century
And it’s high-tech to boot. There’s a workout center… a Spanish-language instructor on call… bicycles… a nature trail.
A DVD player in the lounge and a library of DVD’s to choose from. Wireless Internet. A cell phone tower on the property. Direct TV.
And a staff of very friendly people, Nicaraguans, Americans, and others, standing by to help you do whatever you’d like to do. Have a meal… practice your Spanish… sip a cocktail on the patio… check your e-mail… Every comfort and convenience you could hope for… and every distraction and entertainment you could imagine.

An unspoiled private oceanfront development five years in the making
If you are an International Living reader, you’ve certainly already heard about Rancho Santana.
The property was purchased about 10 years ago by Bill Bonner (International Living’s founder) and a handful of private investors made up primarily of International Living insiders. In fact Bill retains his own personal getaway right here on the beach.
Since then, the transformation of the landscape at Rancho Santana has been amazing, but one thing hasn’t changed. The beaches and the surrounding land are as beautiful as ever.
With its dramatic coastline and pristine views, Rancho Santana remains an extraordinary piece of real estate. It is, simply put, one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been, anywhere in the world.
When you walk the beaches, you only rarely encounter other people. You can more than likely have a whole beach to yourself, anytime you want.
If you surf, you’ll find some of the best waves in the world, right in front of your beach house. And don’t just take my word for it.
One owner at Santana, Jan Glenn, is a serious surfer. Here’s what he has to say:

Sip a refreshing cocktail as you watch the sun set in all its tropical glory.

“My favorite part of Santana is the surfing. I have surfed since I was 12 years old. I am now 47, and I will do it until I die. The Santana area has some of the best surfing reefs and beaches in the world. This is something we do not want to publicize because the owners who surf (and there are many of us) don’t want the world to discover this paradise and have it become crowded.
“My wife Nancy and I enjoy all the other amenities, too… clean, secluded beaches, pool, exercise equipment, friendly people, natural environment, stunning sunsets, continuous breeze, wireless Internet and cell phone communications, horseback riding, fishing, biking, nature trails, and excellent food at the restaurant.
“Most importantly, Nancy and I are very impressed with the security. This was a key factor in choosing Santana. If you can’t feel safe somewhere, then why bother?”
Of course, as Jan mentioned, there’s much more to do at Santana than surf. If you like to fish or snorkel, it doesn’t get much better than these pristine waters. (Watch how fast the locals can pull a beautiful fish from the water… sometimes without even using a rod!) You can’t help but to relax when you get here — away from all the distractions of the everyday world.
Nicaragua is an exotic land… where the sun shines all day long… on rugged and tropical rivers, colonial cities, friendly and lively people, and the largest body of fresh water south of the Great Lakes (with the world’s only freshwater sharks).
Nicaragua right now is in many ways like the American West 100 years ago. Not only because of the price of land… or its undeveloped, pristine nature. It’s also about attitude. It’s an attitude I don’t think you find much in the U.S. anymore.
Even today, it’s not uncommon to see horses trotting beside trucks and taxis on a Nicaraguan road… even in Managua. Nicaraguans have the souls of rancheros. Even the most successful, elegantly dressed businessman will pack his family into a 4X4 truck and head to their finca on the weekends.
A word of warning… Rancho Santana is not for everyone.
If you are looking for amusement park rides, boardwalks, T-shirt shops, and wild nightlife, youre not going to be happy here. If, on the other hand, you enjoy wide-open spaces and want to join a group of like-minded people in one of the most upscale communities along the beautiful Pacific Coast, Rancho Santana could be for you. A retreat… a quiet, peaceful, affordable place to escape the fast pace and stress back home, for a few weeks or months a year… maybe full-time, eventually.

The south Pacific Coast of Nicaragua… one of the most stunning seacoasts in the world, perfect for swimming, surfing, snorkeling, fishing, sailing, sunbathing… or just wandering along the seemingly endless, empty beaches. This is the type of private Pacific Coast retreat most people can only dream of.

Rancho Santana really is a no-brainer…
You’re buying property in a first-rate community that’s already up and running…and doing so in a world-class manner. You don’t need to “bet on the infrastructure,” because it’s here. What’s even better is that prices are competitive — and homeowner’s fees are by far the lowest of any in the area, greatly reducing your overall cost of ownership.
The goal of the developers at Santana is to preserve the tremendous natural beauty–while putting into place the infrastructure that will allow you to enjoy it.
Morning brings a symphony of tropical birdsong, blended with the sound of the waves crashing to shore. Off in the distance, you’ll often hear the lion-like roar of howler monkeys calling back and forth as they forage in the nearby forests. Hawks sail overhead. Friend and Rancho Santana’s Sales Manager Tom Gordon says. “It’s our reward for striving to preserve the natural environment.”
For all-the-world you’d think you were isolated… But you’re really not. When you need to check into the “real” world, high-speed wireless internet service will connect you to family, business associates, or friends. Although the project has a cell tower, it’s not unusual to see someone lounging in the clubhouse with a headset plugged into a laptop while chatting with friends around the world via their internet phone.
These newly released estate lots with their inspiring views — at prices that I thought were consigned to the history books for this standard of community — means that Rancho Santana definitely merits a serious look.
But you need to act now… we don’t expect this amazing offer to last.
And to make this deal a little sweeter… the developers of Rancho Santana have an offer that’s hard to resist. If you’d like to come down to see Rancho Santana for yourself, they will organize and pay for your airport transfer along with two night’s accommodation with breakfast.
And if you do decide to buy a lot here, they will reimburse you up to $1,000 on your airfare costs! To quote Lee Harrison (Latin America Real Estate Editor), Rancho Santana certainly is “the Cadillac of beachfront communities in coastal Nicaragua.”

P.S. There’s no requirement to build on the property right away, making this a great opportunity to pick up a piece of choice real estate in a very desirable location. You can buy the lot now at an extremely attractive price… then either sit on it until you’re ready to build your dream home or vacation getaway, or flip it a couple of years down the road.
P.P.S Not only are these new lots a tremendous bargain… but they come with financing or a three year guarantee. This from the folk at Rancho Santana: “We’ll bankroll your investment at a low, fixed interest rate of 2.9%. Place a 20% deposit and pay the balance subject to only 2.9% interest in 12 equal monthly payments. Place a 35% deposit and pay the balance subject to 2.9% interest in 18 equal monthly payments. Or place a 50% deposit and pay the balance subject to 2.9% interest in 24 equal monthly payments.
Or, we have a three-year no-hassle, no-strings money-back guarantee on land purchases. So if you change your mind at any point up to three years from the time you purchase your lot, you can get a full refund on your purchase money.
