      Hmm, well the soft sand underfoot, with no rocks, hazards, glass, sharp objects makes 30 yards go quickly till u get your bikini wet. Further, the long ride in on the boogie board to a soft gentle landing is amazing . Maybe there be 3 of you doing this for 3 miles either direction. It is unbeatable

      I don't think that that's true. Eveyrone says that, but when you look at the real sales, the prices have kept going down. Every real estate agent will tell you prices are up, but they said that all along. I've been a buyer down there and it wasn't even remotely true.

    @lamerafiera Před 28 dny +1

    As far as I understand beaches can not be private in Nicaragua. you can have a beach front property lot but the beaches are public unless you have natural barriers to it and even then you can not kick someone out of a beach over there.

    • @ScottAlanMillerVlog
      @ScottAlanMillerVlog  Před 28 dny +1

      That's correct, the Nicaraguan BEACHES themselves belong to the public.

    • @GeoffBramwell
      @GeoffBramwell Před 28 dny +1

      Agreed, the actual beach is public . I stand corrected . The beauty of Tesoro is that south of our beach development , there is a few friends with some cows, not much else . So for the 4 km to the river opening to our south, it is more of not inhabited . The few that are there are friends . So, it feels like a park. We have pieces of property in this un serviced area as well. We rode dirt bikes and atv in this area. This beach front is a beautiful morning walk to the rock out cropping at the south end. Meanwhile across the river is another bustling area called puerto sandino and a series of crowded surf break towns . More things to do with a boat and motor bike from playa Tesoro .
      Then there is the sea turtles . We have multitudes of sea turtles nesting on our beaches

      We state "owning the beach" because when you own the land "to the sand" no one can access through you and no one can obscure you. You "own" that part of the beach, but the public can always use it. I own beach front too, and where I don't own people can put up structures, squat, do anything. Where I own, they can't stay in front of me. But they can freely use the beach to swim, picnic, sunbath, volleyball, whatever. I like it, full beach ownership destroyed so much of Mexico.

    • @geoffbramwell3128
      @geoffbramwell3128 Před 23 dny +2

      Hawaii is another example of private beach ownership ruining the experience. Very small pieces are reserved for public access and use . The majority of the beach is fenced off and private . I think a huge mistake.

    Hello Scott, Have you been to Gran pacifica? I learned of the tiny houses a few years ago through some "Anarcho capitalist" guy who is originally from Canada but lives in Mexico, I noticed that it is now very different to what they wanted to have originally,, now it's more like a resort with high prices, I think big investors spoil it for most people who are looking for a more affordable place. they are now asking for a lot more than what they were asking for originally.

    • @ScottAlanMillerVlog
      @ScottAlanMillerVlog  Před 28 dny +1

      I've not, but I have a viewer living there and I"ve been invited down to see some places there. The reports are that it's not very good. The infrastructure and support are bad, road is dirt, prices have collapsed. It's insanely cheap (big houses are $80K and not moving at all as no one wants to live there) but without good Internet, it's really only viable for retirees who don't care about good internet - which isn't very many people. It's a super undesirable area and no one in Nicaragua thinks of it as a place to be proud of. It's mostly forgotten as a remote, mostly empty, kind of failed project. But I want to get down and film and see first hand.

      the drama is essentially all in the US news. the US is full of drama in politics so it's easy for the US media to pretend other places have drama too and Americans find it very plausible. but it's pretty drama free here. by comparison to the US it's utterly drama free.

      I think even decades ago it wasn't the case. The media engine is just so strong that it's hard to see past it and to take the chance to investigate abroad to evaluate what is best for "you". Plus the US works so hard to define success by the "numerical value of your salary", but not by the power of that income, or quality of life, or doing good for your fellow human beings. If health, happiness and "doing good" aren't the measurements of success, that says a lot. Unhappy, unhealthy, and "rich on paper" but struggling to go out to dinner is an odd choice for the "American dream".

    WOW, excellent stuff, I'm retired now but still have my websites for real estate targeting the "Baby Boomers" like myself already for various locales around the Caribbean. I'll be reaching out to the Bramwell brothers for sure, honestly Geoff had me at burning some bud on the beach & having the chill lifestyle! And yet not too far off from the city and I just came back from a month in Jamaica where I'll be spending some time as well but I'd be curious about any local scuba diving options around Playa Tesoro? I'd love to explore the possibility of opening a "Dive shop and maybe a combo American Breakfast Bar & Grill" on the beach there among the 200+ acres!
    I also love the fact that Nicaragua offers their "Retirement Visa" with about only a $600-700 Social Security minimum since I made money online for nearly 30 yrs all under the radar & that doesn't work well with living here in San Diego! Hell maybe I can do some side hustle work promoting their property there!!

      Scuba diving is possible, pretty much anywhere, but this is not a scuba area by any stretch. That's rocky out there, and very dark, rough Pacific waters. There is a reason that no one has ever opened a dive shop on the Pacific Nicaraguan coast. You'd be unique, but I think you'd struggle to find customers.
      I work in Belize too!
