Cortez Estates - the Best of Both Worlds
Developers Who Listen
Cortez Estates is guided by six partners whose decades of friendship and shared work in Nicaragua have culminated in the creation of a community that offers what buyers deserve — reliable water, power to every lot, secure documentation, and inspiring views.
![Living at Cortez Estates means being close to a coastline that remains beautifully undeveloped. Yankee Beach [seen in this video] is part of everyday life here, with Hermosa, Escameca, and Remanso all nearby and now easily reached via the new coastal highway.
This isn’t about chasing sunsets.
It’s about living close to places that quietly make life better.

![You've got to drive it to believe it.
Many people still don’t realize this road exists.
Nicaragua’s new coastal highway [the Costanera] has recently opened, creating a smooth, continuous route along the Pacific coast. It’s changed how we move between San Juan del Sur and Escamequita and opened up access to more than a dozen beaches that once felt farther away.
For those of us who live here, it's an overnight game changer — quicker drives, easier connections, less friction.
It's impressive, real infrastructure doing what it’s meant to do.
If you’re curious, come drive it. The difference is felt

![“A Beach That Still Breathes.”
Playa Yankee at sunset — wide, quiet, and just minutes from Cortez Estates.
****
Not all coastlines are created equal.
While much of the world rushes toward overdevelopment, Nicaragua still holds spaces where the ocean feels untouched.
Playa Yankee is one of them.
At sunset, the horizon glows, the beach stays quiet, and the only footprints in the sand might be yours [and your dog's]
From Cortez Estates, you’re minutes away from this rare luxury: an oceanfront that still breathes freely.
Build your dream home just minutes from several beaches.. including this one.
**Cortez Lot prices include the closing costs AND the transfer tax on the first 5 lots sold - saving you thousands of dollars**
📍 Yankee Beach • Escamequita • San Juan del Sur
🌊 Ocean views from every lot
