Beginning in 1856 almost the whole city had to be rebuilt after the civil war started by William Walker, self-appointed emperor from the United States. Nicaragua, especially Granada, entered the boom times for the economy and the upper social class showed it through the colonial architecture. This beautiful and well kept old colonial house is the best representation.

According to the historical records this building was built around 1900. The structure shows how colonial life in the old Granada must have been. Two stories, great view of the city and Mombacho volcano. Master living rooms, bedrooms, the classic patio with the large corridors, large monumental arch.

How about if it was on a massive lot of 3,267 sq meters or  35, 152 sq ft with mature palms, fruit trees and beautiful landscaping? What if it was in the most mature development of Granada where many fine homes already exist yet with no HOA fees?

There are not many properties left that are real colonials with four corridors around a large patio, formal living area, large kitchen, a good garage and best of all, near the central park and La Merced church.

Located across the street from La Merced church your home would be in a prestigious location yet close to the park, the market and all of the restaurants. You can park your vehicle in the convenient garage, enter the formal sala then pass into a huge garden patio with the original columns bordering the four wide corridors.

In the rear of the garden area is a formal dining area accented by arches and columns. Behind the dining room is a huge 2-room kitchen. All of the four bedrooms and baths are in the rear of the home which mutes the street noises. Two more patios allow you to build a pool and plant a kitchen garden for all of your spices and herbs.

Craig Connelly’s success story in the North American billiard market is acknowledged industry wide.  For 30 years, Mr. Connelly has been at the forefront of manufacturing high quality furniture style billiard tables for those with a passion for the best.  Mr. Connelly’s latest venture is in reducing the cost structure of the production process, while delivering gold standard in quality and heirloom beauty in the form of billiard tables.

To that end, Craig founded CB Americas Nicaragua, S.A. (CBAN) in Granada, Nicaragua in 2005.  By leveraging his in-depth experience in the market and entrepreneurial expertise, Craig has dedicated the last four years organizing the CBAN factory, creating cost effective manufacturing and preparing for distribution of Connelly’s superior quality billiard tables from Nicaragua.

CB Americas is fully operational in Nicaragua, with plant facilities in place.  CBAN simply is short on operating cash; CBAN is looking for working capital that can be repaid at the end of a four year period.  Mr. Connelly will also entertain taking on a minority equity partner in the business, with buyout features.

CBAN has an extremely efficient cost structure, is close to the United States and has the know-how needed for a successful operation. CBAN’s mission is to deliver top of the line quality billiard tables to the market, using high quality materials and expert craftsmanship.

Mr. Connelly’s strategy for CBAN is as follows:

1. Leverage Mr. Connelly’s well known brand image and industry connections.
2. Utilize CBAN’s cost efficient operational structure in Nicaragua, a participant in the US-Central America Free Trade Agreement.
3. Merchandise higher quality products, in conjunction with cost efficient manufacturing.
4. Attack former and current Connelly Billiards customers in the US, Canada and Europe.
5. Introduce an option on existing models to be manufactured out of readily abundant certified Nicaraguan Royal Mahogany (Cedro Macho)
6. Motivate and inspire his seasoned sales team.
