Exploring Big Sky Ranch, Nicaragua: A Premier Equestrian Community

A One-of-a-Kind Equestrian Experience

The Big Sky Stables offer discounted rates for community members, with access to a riding arena, round pen, private tack rooms, and miles of riding trails that connect the stables to nearby beaches like Playa Yankee and Playa Escamequita​. For those looking to improve their riding skills, both private and group lessons are available, adding an extra layer of appeal to this horse-lover’s haven. You can choose to keep your horse at home or board it at Big Sky Stables

The Escamequita Village features pickleball, organic farming, retreat centers and plenty of special events and programming for both adults and children.

Proximity to Nature and Modern Amenities

Although known for its serene, rural setting, Big Sky Ranch is now less than 20 minutes from the lively coastal town of San Juan del Sur on the new coastal highway, offering residents easy access to shopping, dining, and cultural experiences. The nearby beaches are perfect for both riding and surfing. The Escamequita River, jungle wildlife, and mountain trails make this an ideal location for nature lovers who want the best of both worlds.

With prices for lots ranging from $ 39,000 to $ 120,000 USD, Big Sky Ranch offers options for various budgets, with land sizes starting at half an acre​.
