Considering a move to a slower, more earth-friendly life-style?
On December 11, 2009, The New York Times recommends Balcones at Majagual and shows this home as a great example of the retirement lifestyle available in Nicaragua. Try life here in the slow lane for a week or two. Wiggle your toes in the sand. Step out of bed each morning onto exotic hardwood and hand-fired tile floors. Count the monkeys and parrots during breakfast, eat lunch under a palapa on the beach and pick fresh, organic produce for your dinner table.
Experience ecoresort living in an ecological reserve teeming with wildlife and natural beauty.
