Nicaragua real estate
Updated
Beach houses, lots, surf camps and homes for sale on Nicaragua's Pacific coast — Popoyo, Guasacate and Hacienda Iguana on the Emerald Coast, El Astillero to the north, and the beaches around San Juan del Sur to the south. Offshore winds off Lake Nicaragua groom this coast for much of the year, and land still costs a fraction of comparable surf frontage across the border.
Foreigners, including Americans, can own titled land and homes in their own name or through a company. Coastal and title rules are specific, so read the FAQ below and use an independent attorney.

Can foreigners buy beachfront property in Nicaragua?
