The most beautiful house...

“With 20,180 sq ft it is one of the largest colonial houses in Granada located only 3 blocks from the charming central square. The house was constructed in the 1800s and the original adobe walls, tiles and woodwork has been preserved” 

Yes, it is truly a gorgeous house restored 5 years ago respecting the original colonial look and feel.

Centrally located only three blocks up from the central park the huge colonial house faces the street with 5 tall doors. Behind them you will find 20,180 sq. ft of gracious living. Two garden courtyards, the rear courtyard includes a pool and a large barbecue area, the front courtyard shows off a beautiful fountain and 5 bedrooms and 5 bath. The restoration project has been extensive with new roofs, hand carved pillars, pool, complete renovation of electricity (both European and US standard is installed).

The location offers something quite unique being so close to the center: peace and quiet - unless of course you choose to bring the party home and have your own FUN by the pool. 

The house has cable TV, internet and fitness equipment. It is fully furnished with, high quality beds, handmade Nicaraguan furniture and beautiful art (paintings and sculptures). The inventory can be negotiated in the sale.

I have used the house as a second home but I can no longer travel as much to Nicaragual. Considering the size and location the house has a great investment potential. Even if you have ambitions to turn the house into a hotel you would have 25 – 30 rooms in the second fastest growing tourist destination in Central America only a little more than 2 hours flight from Miami.

The maintenance of the house is USD 180 a month including gardening, pool, repairs etc.

Granada is a very safe place. It is a little known fact that Nicaragua is the second safest country in all of the Americas only surpassed by Canada and Granada is the safest town in the country. There is a growing international community of mainly Americans, Europeans and Canadians. 

The price is USD 490,000.00 equal to USD 24 per sq ft.

You will rarely see a house this size located in the center of Granada on the market. And only one this beautiful.
