What's Happenin' in Nicaragua!
Welcome to Nica Land, an inside view of what's going on in Nicaragua... the property, the people, and the reality of living the dream.

 

Gettin' down to Business October 10, 2008

Hi everyone, and welcome back to Nica Land. For those who are just joining us, my name is Kassidy, and my good friend Chanelle and I are committed to showing you the land that Dale's been telling you about, and what's happening down here in Nicaragua.

After watching the debates, the news, and the market... it sure feels good to be unaffected down here in the tropics.

Some of you have inquired about the new beach front law that is trying to be passed restricting building near the ocean... the proposed "Coastal Law". Under current law, building is restricted within 98 ft (30m) of the high tide mark, and the bill aims to extend the restricted area.
Nicaraguan Attorney General, Hernan Estrada, recently ordered review of property titles within 2,642 ft (802m) of the water, as a temporary measure, until the coastal law has been appropriately structured and passed.
Our good news is that the Attorney General of Nicaragua, just approved one of our titles near the beach in Hacienda Iguana for worry-free resale. We have eight more on their way of being approved, and all the beach front Popoyo listings are definitely approved. This is a law that probably won't be passed anyway, but it's good to have the peace of mind now.

Speaking of beach front, Dale and I just determined that the price of ocean front property in Hacienda Iguana has gone up six times in the last three years since it's opening, and is STILL tens of thousands of dollars cheaper than beach front without surf, in Costa Rica. Go figure. Amazingly, two Ocean front lots just surfaced in Hacienda Iguana, making them the only beachfront property available inside the gates.

Chanelle and I recently took a trip to Canada to visit most of the inhabitants of the Prana del Sol site, the quickest selling, fastest growing development in this area. We suspect so many sales because of the extremely affordable lots and of course it’s diverse terrain and epic beauty. The Canadians were quite hospitable, and I must say, British Columbia is a gorgeous place with gorgeous people. The wet Victoria weather reminds me of Nica right now, as I listen to the drops on my tin roof. The rains are coming down, and will continue through October. The last ten months have been un-doubtedly gorgeous, so we’ll see what the next month holds. Though I've found that the surf is still good and the roads are sure fun for 4x4in’!

Come visit us down here and see what all the talk is about!
