The Last of its Kind! – Isla Mariana Beachfront Property

Wed, 23 Sep 2009 17:09:02 GMT

Introducing the LAST 5 Stunning Beachfront Residences at Isla Mariana Beach & Marina Resort starting at US $51,300.

This is being offered to a very limited number of individuals and offers an array of unique benefits.

With each home site purchased and closed between now and October 16, 2009 you are invited to the Nicaraguan Abundance: Live, Invest & Grow in Nicaragua Business Conference, with expenses paid that include lodging and $1,000 toward your airfare. This includes a host of activities, including receptions, a day at the beach, tour of Nicaragua to introduce you to the land and culture, and opportunities to learn about the country and its investment climate.

And there’s more! For the next 30 days, purchase a beachfront home site and we will pay the closing cost of 4% of the purchase price.

In addition, each owner will receive a complimentary Sports Membership in the exclusive Mariana Club, a $10,000 value. You also will pay no membership dues for two years, which saves you another $3,600.

Every now and then, opportunity knocks - a second time.

Forget California's overbuilt, overpriced Pacific Coast. There's another stretch of coast…on the very same ocean…only hours away - yet even more beautiful. Stunning surf…deep sea fishing…immaculate sand. But instead of paying more than one million dollars for a piece of this paradise you'll pay $108,000…$68,000 - even as low as $51,300!

The wait is finally over…

But you'd better be quick. The highway that will transport "the next wave" of pioneers and retirees is soon to be paved. And this has set off the greatest coastal land rush the Americas have ever seen.

Fronting the Pacific, and with a river at its back, this secluded piece of paradise is hidden from the outside world. Isla Mariana is about 75 minutes from Managua, and 20 minutes from the colonial city of Leon. The plan is to develop the land with a few beachfront home sites & casitas, hotel and 25-slip recreational marina.

Additional Features:

· Freehold Title with Title Insurance provided by Stewart Title Guarantee?

· Installation of water & electrical hookup to the edge of each home site ?

· Private security with gated entrance?

· Professional Management of Home Owners Association to maintain security, landscaping, roads, etc.?by Kemper Sports Management

· A water playground for sailing, rowing and water skiing, etc. in the river behind the property?

· Potential for owners to moor their boats at the 25-slip recreational marina ?

· True exclusivity, privacy and security of being on an island with road access?

· 11 kilometers of beach front?

· Development and Environmental Permit Approved?

This development will certainly be one of the most desired beachfront properties on the Nicaraguan coast. I could continue telling you how beautiful this stretch of beachfront is…

Imagine living in a beachfront paradise and waking up to the sound of the gentle waves; you might enjoy a relaxing dip in the warm Pacific Ocean. Explore the miles of unspoiled beach or ride a horse to the quaint town of Salinas Grandes for breakfast.

Spend the afternoon paddling down the peaceful river enjoying its abundant nature. Perhaps you might meet your neighbors for a sip of Pina Colada at the poolside bar or simply relax in your beachside Casita. Cap the day off with a fresh fish dinner, an extraordinary sunset and a then gaze in wonder at a sky full of breathtaking stars…

The views and memories will last forever but this opportunity won’t…

This is something entirely unique – and it is being offered in one of the most dynamic and exciting emerging international destinations, Nicaragua. The natural beauty and ecological diversity make this country the first choice in Central America when it comes to potential growth and appreciation.

Celebrate Your Golden Years in Style

Tue, 22 Sep 2009 17:45:38 GMT

While many in the United States look toward retirement with trepidation, those familiar with Nicaragua look toward retirement with excitement.

After all, what could be more exciting than spending one’s golden years in paradise?

Those familiar with Nicaragua know that it truly is a paradise—with something special for every taste and desire. From sundrenched beaches to verdant rainforests; from active volcanoes to immense fresh water lakes; from charming colonial towns to pristine secluded islands. Nicaragua truly has it all.

Not only can you find a lifestyle that by most objective measures surpasses the lifestyle in North America, you can have it at a fraction of the price.

And now, a new law in Nicaragua has made it even better!

On June 18, 2009 the assembly passed a new law especially for retirees. Nicaraguan law 694 creates a retirement program that is second to none in the region.

Those with retirements from a public or private institution are eligible to retire in Nicaragua with only $600 in monthly pension. Those with income from a stable source such as dividends are eligible with just $750 per month. Furthermore, the retiree’s spouse, children and parents are also eligible for just $150 per person.

Retirees are allowed to import all household goods up to $20,000 completely free of import taxes. Vehicles for personal use up to a value of $25,000 may be imported every four years completely free of import or sales tax. In addition, if the vehicle is stolen or destroyed in the four-year period the retiree can import a replacement car completely free of tax.

Retirees are also granted a one-time exemption for sales tax (IVA) on up to $50,000 worth of construction materials, perfect for building one’s house in paradise. Astonishingly, retirees are also granted a tax exemption up to $200,000 for professional or scientific items, provided they are used for the benefit of Nicaraguan society. The warmth of the Nicaraguan people is legendary. Now you can help those in your adopted home country and realize enormous tax savings as well.

Retirees are also given tax exemptions for car rentals (with a Nicaraguan driver’s license) used for tourism purposes. Better yet, this benefit extends to one’s entire family as well.

To qualify, the retiree must provide basic documents such as proof of income, birth certificate, copy of passport, passport photos, a letter of health from one’s family doctor, marriage certificate if applicable, a clean criminal record and a list of household items and the vehicle to be imported. For retirees (and aspiring retirees) seeking an unsurpassed lifestyle, these simple documents will pave the way to paradise in Nicaragua.

After all, what is the benefit of hard work if it does not improve your station in life? You deserve to live the future of your dreams. Now it’s within your reach. Those familiar with Nicaragua know that the best is yet to come.

Get to know the New Nicaragua, where you can celebrate your golden years in style!

Nicaraguan Coastal Zones Law Approved, Adding Additional Security for Seaside Mariana Spa & Golf Resort Oceanfront Real Estate

Thu, 18 Jun 2009 15:22:40 GMT

This month marks a real turning point for real estate investment and new private sector oceanfront development in Nicaragua. In early June, the long embattled “Coastal Zones Law” finally passed, establishing a clear set of rules and guarantees for land ownership and development along ocean, lake and lagoon shorelines.

The spirit of the Coastal Zone Law is to regulate the use of coastal property and promote sustainable development along the shores, while ensuring access to the public to further promote tourism. The law stipulates that all oceanfront land within 50 meters of the high-tide line is public domain and cannot be built on in any form. The law also stipulates a 200-meter Restricted Zone starting from the 50-meter setback, allowing the development of tourism services such as hotels, resorts, residential development and marinas. A Commission for the Coastal Zone Development (CDZC) has been created as a consulting entity, including government, tourism, environmental and private businesses which will develop a Master Development Plan and other development policies. This law is clear in respecting private property and the rights of landowners who have acquired their land legally, and established supremacy over all other legislation. For owners and investors at Seaside Mariana Spa & Golf Resort, this law is both another layer of investment security and a reason to celebrate the potential for an economic boom in the area.

Chairman Kevin Fleming of Grupo Mariana Family of Resorts is positive and energized about the victory for private sector development. “The coastal law has been in discussion for the last five years with speculation and rumors to what it might mean to ownership along the coast and attracting foreign investment to Nicaragua. Now, we have the answer. With the private sector and government working together in concert, a clear and fair law has emerged through the democratic process. Respecting private property is another step in the right direction in Nicaragua, setting the stage for development in a country that is destined to be the next great tourism destination and investment location. We now have one more law that protects your private property - making ownership of Nicaraguan coastal property the most valuable real estate on planet earth.”

The passing of the Coastal Zones Law is timely in many ways. The Law will offer an added economic stimulus to Nicaragua’s budding Pacific Coast, boosting the regional economy and stimulating new investment. The law passes in concert with the upcoming launch of Phase 2 at Seaside Mariana Spa & Golf Resort, which will offer multiple ocean-front and course-side home lots, luxury and low-rise condominium homes, golf villas, as well as condotel investment opportunities with a soon to be named 5-star hospitality brand.
