Living in Nicaragua
Никарагуа
Добавлен 8 янв 2024
We left California and moved to Nicaragua full-time in October 2021. Follow to see what life is like for us.
Many ask for a recommendation on where to stay in our area... here is a sweet place in our community of Rancho Santana right down at the beach... make sure you tell them Laura sent you.

Can you tell me more about having your dog with you in Nica. How's his/her life down there? Did you fence in your property? I feel the only thing holding us back to moving there is our dog.
👍
Welcome to Nicaragua the best country in Central America, enjoy the fresh air and the kind people 😀
Welcome.
I am working with a guy from California and he thinks than Nicaragua is a Great place to visit or live ...
Who is your California Friend? I was born in San Francisco and lived all over the entire state as I owned 12 California Homes and 3 in Nevada all at one time. I live in Nueva Guinea, Nicaragua, and am retired living here and I develop land and sell land lots for construction. And I love my life in California.
Not the choice I would like to live. If someone from the regime like your place they will find any excuse to steal it and there are not law you can go to complain.
What was to total cost and a break down if you don't mind sharing please
You have to be really insane, really naive, to buy a house in Nicaragua! Nicaragua is a poorer, smaller and even pre oppressive Venezuela. Feel sorry for you. The future is inevitable.
Did I miss how much this cost 💲 you??
Can you say how much you spent for the whole thing?
Aaawwww. Poor bird.
I like your taste, very nice house.
Congratulations for n your new home it looks beautiful !!! We are from New York & we built our house in Granada. Did you built in san Juan del sur ?
Beautiful place. Congratulations!! I am thinking of retiring abroad and like to do a lot of research and one thing that I would try to avoid is moving to a dictatorship country. How did you get over that fear?
@@JaySJay I totally understand and it does live in the back of our minds...things can change at anytime. For that reason we haven't put "all our eggs in one basket" and have a plan b and c. In addition to your research I recommend spending a good amount of time in multiple places before committing to anywhere.
My mom was born and raised in Santa Teresa, my husband and I want to retire in Nicaragua, my aunt owns the hostel called the barrel in Gausacate check it out sometime 😅
How bad are the mosquitoes? There is an outbreak of Dengue fever in El Salvador right now. The Govt. there is airspraying to control it.
@@HermanFickewirth they were really bad in June😜
Your House It's so pretty❤
Nicaragua es un lugar "Paradisíaco tiene su Belleza, lugares, y sobre todo su Gente!
Hi thanks for your video. Who was the builder ?
@@adrienluccisano637 Horizon Group Nicaragua
@@LivingInNicaragua thanks a lot!
@@LivingInNicaragua Any phone number to contact them, can not find them in the usual platforms, Facebook, instagram etc.

Wow, it seems like you found a great contractor. The house looks well built. Welcome to Nicaragua.
@@madhuhadas15370 Thank you!
Are mortgages available for Europeans or North Americans wanting to build?
Amazing place!! Great video! So happy for you both.
Maybe you should learn to speak Spanish...???
@@charlielima9855 yes working on it😃👍🏼
How did you find a builder in Nicaragua? And how was the process with an attorney and people involved in making sure the property is yours?
@@SCSC-qz7rr we first found their website then met with them and looked at projects they've done. As for attorneys, it's all about references from others who have done things and know where to go for what you need.
your house its gorgeous
Can you tell me here or in video the cost of the design. Architect and engineers.
@@rola4721 good question. The design cost was $1 per square foot. I don't remember the breakdown for engineering and permits but It was all around $3000
@LivingInNicaragua great thank so much for the information. Do you have a POC?
In Nicaragua there was a Communist revolution in 1979 many land owners were Confiscated and up to date about 45% of old owners haven't been paid any Compensation from government, many lawsuits are still on courts.
Interesting point. Have thought about this myself. Are you saying that foreign house owners are exposing themselves to possible future confiscation of their houses? Like the Sandinista Party will pick the houses the like and give the poor surrounding peoples a choice of houses to take over and gain title to? No guarantee that history won't repeat itself in other words. The Sandinista are opposed to USA intervention, but why are they letting so many Americans buy their land and invest in these high-end houses? Do these foreigners have any ethical doubt that by building high-end houses that local Nicas could never afford that they are setting up a class struggle that may eventually back-fire on these investments? This home owner waxes on about big decisions like what tile color they want, while the average Nica is wondering how they might put food on their for this kids. Just seems slightly out of order. No doubt they must be happy with the finished product. But, at what cost to social dis-regulation.
You have to wipe your mouth first before you speak. I know Nicaragua because your country was founded in a genocide against real Americans. In Nicaragua, the medical system is free... and many gringos come to Nicaragua to attend to their medical needs.
Don't believe everything that comes out on Fox News or CNN. The American press manipulates information to keep the population of the United States deceived and it seems that you are one of the millions who live in a bubble believing that the world is only the US.
Somozhits Will never get anything just to let you know and come visit our beautiful country
And your point is? Don't move to Nicaragua because of the communist? When was the last time you walked around Leon and San Juan del Sur? A significant number of foteigners are enjoying the peace and security of Nicaragua. However, do keep in mind that it is a thirld world country.
Very cool. I don’t like spiders but these are so interesting. We used to have them in our yard when we first moved here. Never see any now.
Nicaragua,it is wonderfull
Beautiful!
what a beautiful house. Felicidades!
Please verify electrical grounding especially pool and bathroom. Mexico / Nicaragua... substandard pool electrical ,bath your house is beautiful ! And love had courage to build. Welcome to Nicaragua!
How much cost to built the house I have land in masachapa at the pacific of Nicaragua
We paid about $115 per square foot. It's possible to pay less and a lot more😜
@@LivingInNicaraguaMay I ask what your lot dimensions are and what price you paid for that?
@@SilverbugInc the lit is 1.25 acres. We paid $35,000. We are also in a gated community.
@@LivingInNicaragua is there any financing available for Europeans or North Americans? That’s quite a price considering I can buy in southern France, Spain, Italy, or Portugal
@@SilverbugInc I don't know but will ask when I interview my real estate friend
private beach as in = we displaced the locals and they don't show up anymore. LORD HAVE MERCY
I think There were never locals in this beach
Those monkeys in the back, we have the same here in CR, and it means that you're in what used to be their HOME. Lauren, you're doing a disservice to the local communities in Nicaragua by promoting this "expat" movement that is destroying what little natural patrimony we as nicas and ticos have left.
Hi Laura, could you please explain, if you would be so kind, if either you or your husband consider yourselves gentrifiers? We're facing a LOT of issues with locals here in Costa Rica being displaced by "expats", who buy land, destroy our forests, and build obscene villas which consume massive amounts of fresh water, an already scarce resource in the Guanacaste province ...I just found your video and it's pretty sad to see that Nicaragua might be facing the same issues.
As an American living in Nica who owns property, I grapple with this every day. I am fully aware of the hypocrisy of me being a gringo and hoping that Nicaragua doesn’t end up like Costa Rica. There are relatively few expats living here and there isn’t an issue with displacement of Nicas on the horizon, but I’m certainly aware of the possibility of it becoming a real problem in a few decades. Nicas, for the most part, love expats and welcome us into their communities. I find myself spending way more time among Nicas than expats. It certainly helps that I made the effort to learn Spanish, respect their customs and am very much interested in their lives. I employ two Nicas with full time salaries and pay them far above the minimum wage while limiting their hours to around 20 per week. I volunteer my time and money in their communities and they are very thankful for that. My family has been welcomed with open arms and we are extremely grateful to have been able to assimilate so easily. At the same time, I know that it’s entirely possible that I may be the tip of the spear of gentrification or neocolonialism and it is something that is always at the forefront of my mind and always colors my actions. I know that not every gringo shares my mindset and I worry that RUclips videos like these might be an advertisement for people who want to make Nicaragua an extension of the place they came from rather than allowing the country and the people to change them for the better. Nicaragua deserves to be shown in a good light and yet it can be a double edged sword. I just ask that anyone who comes to this country to live, to remember why they left their country and not try to mold their environment and instead, allow this beautiful country and its people to change you. I’m not in any way passing judgement on Laura. She seems like a nice lady and she has a lovely home. I understand that people will make content about their own lives and I don’t fault her for that. I just worry that we will overrun this beautiful country someday and attempt to change what makes it so special. Once again, I realize my hypocrisy and understand any judgement I might receive from others.
Congratulations on building your dream home in Nicaragua. Does it make sense to build a beautiful home in an unstable political country? The reason for my questions is because, I do want to build or purchase land down there as well and I keep asking myself the same question.
Bienvenida a Nicaragua
How can you built a house in a country that it's ruled by a dictador..you must be very crazy
Where do you guys live?
😂💕🐕💕
I have a toy poodle, Birdie! 💕
Hola! I am a Puerto Rican living in the south. Searching…..😉 Will be landing mid August. First stop Playa Tesoro, for two weeks of grounding! Hahahaha The south is wild, right now. I am retired and 67, totally bilingual. After I am headed to León. I will try, if I like, to extend all I can before I leave. Then Guatemala. Will play that game, then off to Mexico. I am single and my budget is important, I am healthy and from Strong genes! 💃💃💃😂 So, enough info for now. I just joined and will follow. Where are you guys? Abrazos, Sofia
Wow,what a awesome home 👍👍
Is that dog for sale?
House tour please💕
Why Nica over Costa Rica?
because CR is too damn expensive now thanks to expats and our inefficient/corrupt government. Plus the locals are fed up with the excess of "expats" who buy up all the land, use all our water, and treat us like second class citizens in OUR OWN COUNTRY
From my experience, Costa Rica is getting more expensive and not very safe.
Nope
Que Bonito perro
Nice
