- November 7, 2013
In this episode of House Hunters International, we follow a retired couple as they search for their dream home in Ometepe, Nicaragua. This tropical paradise is located in the middle of Lake Nicaragua and is home to two active volcanoes, which create a stunning and unique landscape.
The retirees have always been drawn to this area due to its natural beauty, friendly locals, and affordable cost of living. They are excited to finally make the move and start their next chapter in life.
As they begin their search, they quickly realize that finding the perfect home in Ometepe can be a challenge. Many of the properties they view lack basic amenities such as electricity and running water, which is a concern for the couple. They are also looking for a home with enough outdoor space to grow their own fruits and vegetables and enjoy the spectacular views of the volcanoes.
Despite these challenges, the couple remains optimistic and continues to explore their options. They view several properties, each with its unique charm and quirks. One home is located right on the beach but is in need of extensive renovation. Another property has a stunning garden but is located in a less desirable part of town.
Throughout their search, the retirees meet several friendly locals who offer advice and guidance on the best areas to live and what to look for in a home. They also learn about the local culture and customs, which adds to their appreciation and love for the area.
As the episode progresses, the couple finally finds a home that checks all their boxes. It is located in a desirable part of town, has stunning views of the volcanoes, and features a large garden where they can grow their own produce. The home also has all the amenities they were looking for, including electricity and running water.
While the home is a bit over their budget, the retirees decide to make an offer as they feel it is the perfect fit for them. After some negotiation, they are able to come to an agreement with the sellers and purchase their dream home in Ometepe.
The episode ends with the couple settling into their new home and exploring the area. They are excited to be living in such a beautiful part of the world and look forward to their new life in Ometepe.
