Here’s an interesting take on the Nicaragua real estate scene: a housing development that has tried to go totally “green,” from solar energy to planted roofs, wind power generators, and more. It’s a start, and a no brainer when you consider how sunny Nicaragua really is. Check out the new “Balcones De Majagual” which has just begun selling its “Off Grid” properties outside of (where else?), San Juan del Sur.

From the press release (as reported at www.surfline.com:

Balcones de Majagual is now offering off-grid homes at its uniquely designed eco-development project on Nicaragua's lush Pacific Coast. This highly anticipated oceanfront project is located near San Juan Del Sur, just 30 miles from Costa Rica, and within walking distance of Maderas Beach, a world-class surf break.

Balcones was designed by the architects of the renowned Morgan's Rock Ecolodge, one of Latin America's most celebrated luxury, sustainable boutique hotels. Located near Morgan's Rock and similar in concept, Balcones offers residents eco-friendly architecture within a sustainable environment surrounded by rich and diverse flora and fauna and three Pacific beaches. Balcones now offers completely off the grid home design in a cutting edge green community. Two off the grid homes are immediately available and all existing homes can now be adapted to off the grid living.
