Rancho Santana is located on a 3000-acre reserve in Nicaragua with two miles of Pacific Ocean coastline and five distinct beaches. Ocean view property (Estates neighborhood) and beach front condominiums (Seagate) are available with access to a number of different surf breaks. The project stands out as being further along in its master-plan than many of its competitors.
The coastline here on the 'Tola Rivieria' is beautiful. Dramatic hills and cliffs roll down to meet secluded white sand beaches and crashing surf. It’s a classic Pacific coast landscape and Rancho Santana is sitting on a highly prized section of this. Every year more homes and condos dot the Rancho Santana hill side. A permanent community is taking hold and a strong rental management program is available to owners.
Looking at asking prices, Rancho Santana is competitively placed in Nicaragua, with median prices/sqft currently below the country average as well as the average for the region as a whole.
The good news for investors is that they can enjoy the beautiful scenery and amenities (including tennis courts, club house, equestrian center, chapel, restaurant) right now, making a purchase in this community less speculative as an investment proposition. The road access from Tola is unpaved, but appears to be regularly graded making the journey more comfortable.
