Nicaragua Real Estate & Beach Property for Sale
Offshore wind nearly every day along a long Pacific coast.
Nicaragua real estate
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.
There are currently 64 listings in Nicaragua on International Surf Properties, with homes and land for sale priced from $15,000 to $1,750,000.
Surfers shopping in Nicaragua also explore Costa Rica, El Salvador and Guatemala.
Frequently asked questions
Can foreigners buy beachfront property in Nicaragua?
Yes. Foreigners can own titled property in their own name or through a company. The first 50 metres above high tide are public, the next 200 metres are regulated, and title history should be checked back to 1979. Budget roughly 4% to 7% in closing costs and use an independent attorney.
Are there cheap beach houses for sale in Nicaragua?
Nicaragua is one of the lower-priced surf coasts in Central America, and lots, small houses and inland properties near the beach are where entry prices are lowest. Sort the listings above by price to see what is currently available, and check access roads, water and title before you rely on a low asking price.
Where is the best area to buy near the surf in Nicaragua?
The Emerald Coast around Popoyo, Guasacate and Hacienda Iguana is the most surf-focused market, with reefs, beach breaks and gated communities side by side. San Juan del Sur is the services hub with the deepest rental market; El Astillero and the northern beaches are quieter and cheaper.
How much does a house or property in Nicaragua cost?
Properties for sale in Nicaragua currently listed on International Surf Properties range from $15,000 to $1,750,000, depending on location, size, and how close the property sits to the beach and the nearest break. Lots and land are usually the most affordable way in; beachfront homes and turnkey surf resorts sit at the top of the range.
