Dear International Living Reader,
Along a dramatic stretch of coast known as the Pacific Riviera, you’ll find the same caliber of sand and coast as you can get farther south along the Pacific Coast in Costa Rica…or north in Southern California…but for a fraction of the cost.
If you’re new to IL, you may not have heard of this region. But everyone’s going to be talking about it soon. Ronan McMahon has been there several times. Below, he brings you up to speed…and shares some photos.

Along Nicaragua’s southern Pacific coast, known as the Pacific Riviera, you’ll find rocky outcrops and pounding surf. You’ll find white-sand beaches perfect for swimming. Although frequently compared to the coast of Southern California, this doesn’t do Nicaragua’s Pacific coast justice in my mind.
Rancho Santana is a private reserve of 2,700 acres and two miles of coastline. It’s the jewel of this stretch of coast. There are five reasons you should consider buying at Rancho Santana. There’s one reason why you should consider buying now.
1. The Beaches at Rancho Santana
Each of the five beaches has its own character and attraction. For horseback riding or surfing it’s Playa Santana…
…for snorkeling it’s Playa Duna…for swimming it’s Playa Los Perros…for a quiet picnic it’s Playa Escondida….
2. The Homes at Rancho Santana
The homes here are amazing…many look like they should attach a price tag of $10 million plus.
3. The Amenities at Rancho Santana
You’ll never have to leave …unless you want to. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are served in the full service restaurant. They have a commercial center with a grocery store You’re connected with high-speed Internet, top-quality cell service, and satellite cable bringing you all your favorite channels.
You can relax at the spa and gym, a yoga center at Rosada beach that has an ocean view, and the tennis courts. Horses are kept at the ranch’s stables, and nature trails are being refined each year for bird watchers and monkey viewers. You have access to a full-time concierge’s desk that can book you a driver to the airport or arrange a day trip to a nearby seaside village.
4. The Developer at Rancho Santana
I know and trust the developer. Rancho Santana is backed by IL’s parent company. Investors and home owners include IL’s founder Bill Bonner and his top executives. I have the inside track on how committed they are to Rancho Santana. They spend as much time here as their schedules allow. They have the resources to follow through on their commitment.
5. The Value at Rancho Santana
Rancho Santana is a high-end beachfront community. Today’s prices don’t reflect this—$58,000 buys you a half-acre ocean view lot…and $288,000 buys you a1,500-square-foot condo in the beachfront Seagate Condos.
A lot happened in 2009 at Rancho Santana. The clubhouse was updated and the first phase of the Seagate Condos delivered. A seven figure sum was invested in heavy machinery. An onsite construction team was established to help homeowners make the construction process as seamless as possible. The resort was buzzing with home owners and visitors.
In fact, 2009 was Rancho Santana’s most successful year ever in sales. They had their best year ever while most struggled. When times are tough, the cream rises to the top!
This year will see Rancho Santana leap into a whole new level. As I write, the developer is pouring over plans for a further major investment at the project. The new clubhouse will be one of the finest you’ll see…anywhere. Other ideas (I’ll tell you about them once the developer confirms that they have committed funds) he is bouncing around are seriously high-end. I’m talking a “James Bond” lifestyle!
Once Rancho Santana hits this “James Bond” level you can forget $58,000 ocean view lots or a large condo for $288,000. It will be more like… “if you have to ask the price you can’t afford it.”
That’s why now is the time you need to seriously consider Rancho Santana. IL magazine subscribers can avail of special reader-only pricing and terms. You could save $36,000…and that’s on the cheapest of the remaining Seagate Condos. Developer financing is available at only 5.9%. Best of all, the developer is inviting IL magazine subscribers to visit next month. He’ll even pick up some of the tab.
