Successful Eco-Hostel for Sale in Nicaragua

Rancho Esperanza is a top-notch backpackers paradise located on 7+ miles of near-deserted wide beaches in the fishing village of Jiquilillo, located on the North Pacific coast of Nicaragua. The high-rated (Trip Advisor, Barefoot Atlas, Lonely Planet, Footprint, Moon Handbook), well-organized, successful hostel has been running for ten years with continued growth and success.

Rancho Esperanza is located on 2.77 acres (11,209 meters) of beachfront property and its current sleeping capacity is 44, plus hammock space. We have a full-time reliable, local staff, and I will help train you to aid in the smooth transition of business ownership.

The property features:
· nine fully furnished rentable cabañas, five with private open-air bathrooms constructed of glass bottles
· fully secured office cabaña
one large two-car garage
· one large main rancho with lofted dorm space
· one large on-site brick community center
· one beach-front home, complete with full bathroom, kitchen, and wrap-around patio
· one large cabaña that houses a dormitory and sleeps six
· fully equipped large kitchen, including indoor and outdoor stoves
· plenty of room to expand

We are one of the few properties in Jiquilillo that has fresh water on our property. The spaciousness and privacy could also be ideal for private rentals, holistic center for yoga and meditation, surf camp, or an agriculture project. If one were to choose to remodel and renovate, it would be very easy to do due to the simple construction that has been used. The home is brand-new and we currently live in it. It can easily be rented out as a suite, separate rental site, or continued to be used as a the owners’ home.

Also included are:
· All furniture and hammocks
· Over 20 surfboards
· Pickup truck
· Computer
· Professional website (www.rancho-esperanza.com), excellent online presence (Trip Advisor, Barefoot Atlas), and long-time guidebook presence (Lonely Planet, Footprint, Barefoot Atlas, Moon Handbooks)
· 500+ book, multi-language library, named one of the best in Nicaragua and a highlight of travelers’ stays
· All business contacts, permits, licenses, contracts, leases, etc.
A main draw for travelers, and a cornerstone to the success of the business, has been the ongoing social development projects, including an afterschool program, school sponsorships and teaching assistance, English and computer classes, a surf club, and others.

I built Rancho Esperanza from scratch ten years ago and have great interest in seeing its continued success. The asking price is $350,000.This price is not etched in stone and I am happy to hear your offer. Other options include co-ownership schemes. In 2014, we completed a lot of construction, including the beach-front home, added a fully secure office, a two-car garage, and two more private bathrooms in order to keep up with demand. Last year was busy, and this year will be busy, too, as we already have reservations through to February. If you are interested, I am happy to open my financials to you in person.

I am keeping a list of potential buyers and their offers. We are not in a rush to leave - we have a seven-month old daughter and want to move on to start something new by the time she reaches school age.
