Beautiful, comfortable, simple but elegant and spacious rooms, I love all the glass sliding doors, looks like impact even tho in Nicaragua at the pacific coast there hurricane 🌀 are almost never seen, they go very seldom only through the Caribbean part of the country; like Blue field, big corn island 🏝️or little corn (Islas del maíz 🌽.) I love 💕 the views looks like Rivas San Juan del Sur/St. John surrounding areas in the South south pacific part of Nicaragua boarding Costa Rica ! Nicaragua 🇳🇮 is so beautiful, it has a lots of water, two huge Lakes, full volcanoes 🌋, gorgeous lagoons, rain forests at Mombacho at Granada natural forests in the North starting at Boaco and Matagalpa, Murra you get stunning mountains 🏔️ views, it like Hawaii but little bit more tropical 🐠 🌴 .! I absolutamente me encanta= I love ❤️ it so much.! Good 👍 choice, congratulations 🎉🎈🍾.!! Enjoy
Please up load more and more! 🙏🏽 I’m very interested in moving to Nicaragua with my boyfriend. Nicaragua is his country. I am American. It’s will be a blessing if I could receive more information .

Awesome doggie
Is that a real owl
Where is it in Nicaragua???
Es un chocorron

Dios los bendiga y proteja siempre en su nueva casa. ❤
Even in San Francisco, California you can see stores with chips and snacks products locked to prevent thefts.... Are the United States an unsafely country ? No 😊
I live in Belize, which has become expensive in the last three years. I am planning to move to Nicaragua with my wife and two daughters, and maybe we could also build our own house-not a bad idea. I even found info for expats on properly completing residency papers and getting taxes removed from construction materials.
Congratulations 😊!!! Just wondering, How you foreigners get to build outside your country of origin? I’m a Nicaraguan living in Canada my wife is a Cota Rican national, we decided to build a house for our retirement in Grecia CR , the Costa Rican banking bureaucracy makes it impossible to wire money from Canadian bank to Costa Rican bank took over year to finish the house , even though we speak Spanish and the builder and architect happen to be my wife’s cousins still makes no difference as the cousin explain that all monies coming from foreign banks go through the same process, Really annoying we have to show and declare how much are our earnings and what we are doing for our living. The house was built in 2018 , this year 2024 , we decided to upgrade our bathrooms 2 of them cost us 35000 $ Canadian dollars, again. Because of the banking system took 5 months to upgrade two bathrooms Costa Rican bank returns the money twice because the amount of ten thousand dollar is a lot of money according to the bank in Costa Rica., again, I like to know you guys get it done .,
Modern colonizers moving to our country, behaving like the ilegal aliens they complain about so much in their land. Causing Gentrification and making living more expensive for locals. Go back to your country, Gringo.
I’m afraid to tell you that you made a big mistake, some day you will remember this comment. Good luck anyway.
After Allison’s Journey Nicaragua story….id be scared to drive and get into an accident. No due process in that country.
Bella la naturaleza ❤
Clase sacrificio de la madre sus hijos la comen al nacer ❤ la madre naturaleza
I love horses ❤❤❤
What a great and informative video! I’ve been visiting Nicaragua since 2015, and will be looking at land early next year around SJDS to have a house built on. If you’re in the area, i’d love if I could meet you and your husband to gain some further insight from your experience!
Hello from Panama. Short question for all Americans. As a German, I translate English in my head. If someone says in English: WE DID BUILT. If you hire a company, isn’t that wrong to say we did build our house? I had already big discussions in Germany 35 years ago with some of my neighbors. They never touched a shovel or materials of their construction with their own hands. On the other side, you had a handful of us who actually did build our houses. Every single BBQ or wine fest we got together. And yes. We “handy guys” always joked about our “fancy” neighbors. “The only hard work you guys did was signing the paperwork with your contractors!” 😂. Looking at your pictures, I did see one issue I had, looking in Panama at constructions, they did the same. I was told in the municipal office from the civil engineer that most workers can’t get the corners right. That’s why they let space on each corner. Later they put wood boards on it and fill it with concrete. They do the same, constructing the walls. Every 3-4 meters a space. Wood boards and filling it with concrete. Inside walls are not properly connected to the outside walls like it should. In the end, you see cracks right where the walls and concrete columns are. Everywhere in Panama. - I did build my walls and foundation like in Germany. Foundation stripes, all piping in the ground and a 6 inch concrete slab on top. On top of that slab came my walls. In Latin America, they just make foundation stripes and start the outside walls on top of the stripes. Then they dig out the ground for the inside walls. Foundation stripes and “glue” the inside walls to the outside walls. After the walls are done, they pour 2 inches of concrete in every room on top of the dirt. - When the building inspector did check on my construction, they had only one complaint. “You using a lot of concrete.” The inspector came only one time. And yes. I had locals coming to see my construction. They asked if I could build their house. Because I am a retired old guy, I refused. I like to enjoy my house and the time I have left. I’m not starting a construction company. And no. Construction is not my trade. But I really know how to do it. 😊 $120 a sqft??? WOW. You guys are millionaires! That’s $1,080 a m2!! Seriously. There we go. The sky is the limit. Sorry. That just shocked me.
Wrong country , anywhere wherever is communism , is the wrong place.
Lovely video, you have a beautiful house. Thank you for the information.
Well, how much was it in total??
Bendiciones 🙏
Cómo se llaman sus perritos?
ChaCha y Rosie
Cool!❤
Que bella playa. El perrito 🐕 está lindo. Lo trajeron con ustedes o lo adoptaron aquí en Nicaragua?
Bienvenidos a Nicaragua ☺️
the monkeys can be annoying though!
Congratulations! Beautiful peace of heaven. Would you please share the builder you used for your gorgeous home. Thank you in advance for your help.
Sure! It's Horizon Group Nicaragua www.nicaraguarealestatehorizon.com/
Trying to get back to the states?! 😂always wonder what they’re looking for.
we just moved from Nicaragua, Madares beach area back in May. Fantastic place, absolutely beautiful. But we had issues with our contractor, so we didn't have a choice but to sell and move out of the country. Lost many many thousands of dollars. Glad yours went well, ours was a nightmare. Be careful who you hire if moving to Madares area.
I'm so sorry you had that experience. You are so right that it is important to spend the time digging for info and getting the references.
@@LivingInNicaragua thank you. Yes please do your research when choosing a contractor
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.
@@914Porsche209 she's doing great! We don't have a fence. Fortunately, she is not a roamer and definitely an indoor dog. She gets walked in the morning, is quite content to be inside during the hot part of the day, then gets more exercise in the evening. Lots of people bring their dogs. Do you have a particular concern?
Is it risky building house in place that have dictators and they could take your house?
👍
Welcome to Nicaragua the best country in Central America, enjoy the fresh air and the kind people 😀
Thank you! You are so right...the people are so kind!
@@LivingInNicaragua All Americans are welcome in Nicaragua 😀👍
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.
ahah stop dreaming! that's not happening here. Take care of your own country's issues which are way too worst.
What was to total cost and a break down if you don't mind sharing please
Total for house was +/- $350k. I want to say design was about $3k Engineering/permits maybe $3k
@@LivingInNicaragua thank you!
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??
It was approx $350k in total
@@LivingInNicaragua thanks for your reply
Can you say how much you spent for the whole thing?
Approx $350k in total
Aaawwww. Poor bird.
I like your taste, very nice house.
Thank you!
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 ?
Congratulations on your home in Granada. We are in Rancho Santana.
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.
