Room to breathe
Lots range from a half-acre to over two acres — space for a home, a garden, and real distance from the neighbours. Every lot offers ocean views, framed by the forest rather than cleared for it.
Built around the land
Designated wildlife corridors run throughout Cortez Estates, preserving the forest as a living part of the community. Gated entry and engineered gravel roads are already in place.
Minutes from San Juan del Sur
Just 5 minutes to Escamequita and 10–15 minutes to San Juan del Sur, Cortez offers easy access to Nicaragua's most established surf town — without the density.

The Cortez Story
Cortez Estates began as a friendship project — six partners, three Nicaraguan and three Canadian, whose story together started in the early 1990s while working to expand financial opportunity through microfinance in Nicaragua. Decades later, that same spirit of trust and collaboration is what guides Cortez today.
