Free Title Insurance International Living Postcards--your daily escape Thursday, April 5, 2007 Granada, Nicaragua During our last Nicaragua Real Estate Tour, we drove into gentle coastal hills and deep, sheltered valleys just a few minutes south of San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua's liveliest beach town. We were on our way to see Las Fincas de Esqamequita. A string of strong, well-tempered Nicaraguan ponies greeted us. The developer arranged for us to see this project in the best possible way--on horseback. If you've joined us on one of our real estate tours, you know that I like to yell "Saddle up, pilgrims" quite a bit. Well, this time, it was the real thing, and it was like a cowboy dream come true. No kidding, this wide open country is what the American West used to be. The ocean-view and estate lots of Las Fincas are part of developer Donn Wilson's dream for a low-density, sustainable development that gives you plenty of elbow room and helps the local economy, too. Much of his land is preserve, and his company, Nica Dev, sponsors a number of local environmental projects and activities, all aimed at keeping the vast Las Fincas as close to its current natural state as possible. Here, you can live a cleaner, simpler, more sincere lifestyle. Donn hasn't revealed whether the horses will be brought out again for our Nicaragua Real Estate Tour next week, but he has said that he'll cover the cost of title insurance for anyone who buys at Las Fincas during the tour. Free title insurance--that's something they didn't have in the Wild West! Prices at Las Fincas range from $65,000 for 0.75 acres to $90,000 for almost five acres for home lots (most with ocean views)
and from $55,000 for 3.5 acres to $90,000 for eight acres for estate lots. You can find out more about Las Fincas here. Dan Prescher For International Living [Don't miss out. Get your free IL Postcards subscription today.]
P.S. I'll do my best to get the horses again for our next visit to Las Fincas during our Nicaragua Real Estate Tour, April 11-15. If you'd like to join us, you can contact  |
