Lighthouse-Style Hilltop Home at Pacific Marlin in San Juan Del Sur, Nicaragua

About the Property

Every so often a house comes along that looks like nothing else on the coast. This Lighthouse-Style Hilltop Home at Pacific Marlin is one of them: a round tower under a conical roof, set on one of the highest points on the north side of the community. From up here the Pacific opens in every direction, and the bay below San Juan del Sur lights up at sunset.

Inside the Lighthouse-Style Hilltop Home at Pacific Marlin

The main house holds three bedrooms and three baths over two levels. Two guest rooms sit on the main floor. Above them, the master suite takes the entire upper level, and curved walls of glass wrap the room in ocean. Radiating wood beams meet at the center of the ceiling, a detail you notice the moment you step in. In addition, a separate one-bedroom casita with its own kitchen and bath sits just off the main house, so guests, family, or staff get real privacy. All together the property offers four bedrooms and four baths across 4,699 square feet.

The Terrace, the Pool, and the View

A 180-degree wraparound terrace rings the upper floor. It is the best seat on the property, and it faces the sunset. Below it, an infinity pool sits at the edge of the hill with the coastline stretching out behind. The kitchen opens onto a built-in dining nook above the water, then flows into the living and family rooms. Also tucked into the design are a single-car garage and separate caretaker’s quarters, placed so they never crowd the house. This lighthouse-style hilltop home was built in 2005 to a design by Nicaraguan architect Nelson Brown, and the craftsmanship has aged well.

Living at Pacific Marlin

Pacific Marlin is a gated community just minutes from the center of town, with quick access to the Costanera highway. As a result, restaurants, the market, and the beaches north of town stay close, while the ridge keeps you well above the noise. The surf along southern Nicaragua is a big part of why people land here in the first place. Moreover, the cost of living still surprises buyers arriving from North America.

Owning a Lighthouse-Style Hilltop Home at Pacific Marlin

Elevation, privacy, and a view this wide rarely come together in one property here. It is offered at $380,000, and the owner is open to financing, which opens the door for buyers who would rather not tie up all their capital at once. To stand on that terrace yourself, get in touch and we will arrange a tour.
