Watch The Waves From This Solar Powered Playa Maderas Surf House – $179k
Two Bedrooms
Two Bathrooms + One Half Bathroom(Lot size)
1,250 sq ft (approx. 116 m²)
Asking Price: $179,000
The main level is built for easy indoor-outdoor living. A large covered patio faces straight out to the Pacific, flowing into an open dining and living space that feels bright and connected to the view. The kitchen has been recently updated, and there’s a convenient half bathroom on this level for guests.
Upstairs are Two Bedrooms and Two Full Bathrooms, both with high ceilings and direct access to a shared ocean-view terrace. It’s the kind of setup where you wake up, step outside, and check the surf before you even grab coffee.
Bay windows throughout the home bring in natural light and keep the ocean in sight from multiple angles.
Being at one of the highest points in the area makes a real difference here. You get steady ocean breezes, wide-open Pacific views, and zero feeling of being boxed in.
The home is one of just four detached properties sharing a community pool, so you have privacy without being isolated. Solar power is already installed, and there’s a backup water tank in place — two big advantages for both full-time living and rentals in this area.
Playa Maderas — one of the most well-known surf beaches in Nicaragua — is less than five minutes away by car. You’re also close to Playa Marsella and Playa Majagual if you want calmer water or a different beach vibe.
Machete Market & Cafe is nearby for groceries, pizza nights, and local events, and Espejo Maderas has quickly become a go-to for great food and atmosphere.
San Juan del Sur is about 12 minutes away, now even easier with the new La Costanera highway, so you can enjoy the surf lifestyle without feeling disconnected from town.
This is the type of property that works on multiple levels. It’s comfortable enough for full-time living, easy as a winter escape, and highly attractive as a rental due to surf proximity, views, and solar independence.
Ocean-view homes near Playa Maderas at this price point remain strong performers in the rental market — especially when they offer views, pool access, and energy reliability already in place.

Hey guys, If you’re looking to get a house in Nicaragua I highly recommend Joel. He’s the man.
My name is Eric and I just wanted to share a quick comment on my experience working with Joel. He actually handled both the purchase and sale of my property. Both were closed smoothly, completely remotely.
