Set on 5 private acres in the peaceful community of Las Fincas de Escamequita, this solar-powered property offers the perfect combination of privacy, sustainability, and country living just minutes from some of the best beaches near San Juan del Sur.
The main home features 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and approximately 1,100 square feet of living space. The recently renovated kitchen includes quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, soft-close cabinetry, and a large pantry. The open-concept layout connects the kitchen, dining, and living areas, while a separate office provides the perfect space for working remotely or creating a home studio.
Outside, a spacious covered veranda overlooks the pool and surrounding countryside, creating the ideal place to relax, entertain, or simply enjoy the year-round breezes and peaceful setting.
The home has been extensively updated with a new roof, new windows, and sliding glass doors, and is powered entirely by a reliable solar system, offering lower operating costs and energy independence.
A separate 400-square-foot studio casita adds valuable flexibility for guests, long-term rentals, or caretaker accommodation. It includes a kitchenette, full bathroom, living area, and space for both a king and twin bed.
The land is well suited for anyone looking to enjoy a more self-sufficient lifestyle. A mature banana grove produces multiple varieties collected from across Nicaragua, while the existing barn, round pen, fenced pasture, and animal enclosure make the property ready for horses, chickens, or hobby farming from day one.
From multiple locations throughout the property you'll enjoy distant Pacific Ocean views along with expansive valley views stretching toward Costa Rica. The elevated location provides cooler temperatures than the coast while still being only a short drive from San Juan del Sur and nearby beaches.
The property has been meticulously maintained and includes a trusted caretaker who has looked after the home and grounds for the past four years and is willing to remain with the new owners if desired.
Located approximately 20 minutes from downtown San Juan del Sur, Las Fincas de Escamequita offers a quiet rural setting with excellent access to Playa Hermosa, Rancho Tere, pickleball courts, Escuela Adelante, San Juan del Sur Day School, and many of the area's best beaches, restaurants, and outdoor activities.
Whether you're looking for a full-time residence, hobby farm, equestrian property, vacation home, or peaceful retreat, this move-in-ready property offers exceptional value in one of the area's most desirable countryside communities.
