Ocean View Downtown Property with Income & Potential in San Juan del Sur
Just one block from San Juan del Sur’s iconic beachfront church and a short stroll to the sand, this rare downtown property blends income-generating potential with long-term development upside. Set on a spacious 516 m² lot, this versatile ocean view property currently houses two charming homes that have been joined into a single commercial space — and it’s already delivering steady rental income.
For the past five years, the entire property has been leased to long-term tenants operating a well-known café popular with both locals and visitors. The current lease is secured for another two years, and the tenants have expressed interest in renewing — offering a seamless transition for any investor looking to earn from day one.
The real opportunity, though, is in the future potential. Zoned for both commercial and residential use, the property boasts multiple access points, leafy outdoor areas, and plenty of flexible space. It’s an ideal canvas for someone with vision: whether you’re thinking of launching a boutique guesthouse, opening a wellness or yoga retreat, starting a co-working space, or creating a stylish live/work compound, the location and layout offer endless possibilities.
Property Features:
House 1 (East Side) features 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, an open-concept kitchen and living area, a large primary bedroom, and a private garden with mature mango and lychee trees — plus a custom-built skate bowl for added flair.
House 2 (West Side) includes 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a cozy mezzanine loft, and a shaded front patio perfect for relaxing or entertaining.
Whether you keep the current lease in place or reimagine the property to suit your goals, this prime commercial-residential property in the heart of San Juan del Sur is a rare find — combining location, income, and potential.
As San Juan del Sur continues to grow in popularity as one of Central America’s top beach towns for lifestyle and investment — featured in publications like Travel + Leisure — downtown real estate like this is only becoming more valuable. With Nicaragua’s tourism industry on the rise and infrastructure improving year over year, properties in this central location offer excellent long-term upside.
