Yes, very nice house. It sold pretty quickly.

I have heard of Smeg we have it available in the UK, expensive but stylish! The Guest house is absolutely perfect....I would live in that! The main house is gorgeous, and I prefer the fences to the walls most people have built, with a retaining wall. The furniture is perfect and good quality, the instalation of insulation, flooring, quality of windows. The solar system giving free electricity basically is brilliant! The underground shooting range is unique, I would prefer it to be made into a games room or hurricaine retreat room. I think the house is amazing, and If I could buy in the Philllipines I would buy this home! It is amazing in every way, I love it!

Very nice place. Like the guest house but not the actual house so much as it does not have that resort feel. The 3 levels and no separate living room, dining room or separate family room takes away for the resort feel. With all the land they should have made it a large one story home. Your home with Wilma feels more resort like. We are building ours here with separate guest house including a cabana or party room to feel like a resort. Coming from Arizona large one story homes that feel like mini resorts are very common. Maybe not so from Sweden but the beautiful Philippines should make you feel like each day is a vacation.

This home is certainly not for the minimalist lifestyle where less is more. BTW, the architecture design is much like a commercial office building - not a homey look at all.

@@dumaguetedreaming To be honest, it’s difficult to estimate. It’s all recently built so until now it’s been very little maintenance. The only thing we have right now is a guy coming in twice a week to to some gardening and pool vacuuming. Then there is me who does the random tightening of screws needed. Of course there should be more cost long term. The two native houses are bound to need new nips roofs in a few years, water tanks that needs cleaning and random things always break and wear out, now matter how well you plan and build. All I can say with certainty is that I’ve spent extra money to keep maintenance cost down. Solar batteries with 10+ year life span. Stainless screws everywhere etc. A hot heavy dip galvanized fence that should look good for 50+ years. Higher quality products and finishes than typical in the Philippines. Time will tell how the king term cost. Sorry I can be more clear.

There are people who made comments on the other Vlogg that i first saw of this house, that the property is overpriced , they have no clue of materials costs to start with. In California or Florida this would start around $5,000,000 US and chances are more like $10,000,000.

Well, price will be a challenge, because for Dauin it is luxury style. You woudl expect such homes urban areas of Luzon. There it would be an easy task for that price. The underground shooting is also a challenge, because I dont think that there is a legal permission for that. So a buyer must expect to be forced to change the use of the bunker. You might convert it to a bowling lane. However, I am not sure how the weapons are stored (for obvious reason they did not show that in the video). But what is your budget? The owner said the price is highly negotiable. Usually for such a home that means a discount of about 30% (wrong place and overbuilt, that does not reflect value).

Appreciate the comment and watching our videos.

I thought the home was ok but nothing about it blew me away and a million dollar plus home in the Philippines should have some sort of a wow factor. The modern look of just the house was probably the best thing about the house. The layout was not done well, the tennis court seems a bit too much and the surrounding area doesn't look appealing. It seems they built the home thinking they would be there for years and probably personalized it a little too much so I think it's going to take a wealthy tennis loving foreigner to buy this home.

JJ Cohrs…I think foreigners could not own a land in the Philippines. You could lease the land with your house on it. The deed of the land has to be on someone’s name a Filipino. If things go wrong the lessee can be kicked out anytime from his house. You may check if I am right.

@@CritterHunter I got this info and quoted from Retiring to the Philippines website. It’s absolutely impossible for a foreigner to buy and own land in the Philippines despite what you might hear to the contrary. “But, I can set up a corporation and the corporation can own property”. Yes, you can set up a corporation. You can only own 40% of the Corporation, however. The other 60% must be owned by a Filipino. And yes, it can own property. So if you’re still asking ‘can foreigners own land in the Philippines?’, this is an ideal way for you to achieve your goal. However, if you set that Corporation up purely so that you can own a piece of property that you can call your own and build your home on, you are, under Philippine law, operating illegally. The Philippines constitution reserves all land in the Country for Filipinos only. Foreigners are not allowed to own land. Period. To prevent foreigners from trying “clever tricks” to get around the law, the Government and the courts will take the position that if you came up with a clever trick to get around the constitution, then that clever trick is illegal.

Layout is not I would expect for $ 1 million house in Philippines. It is just big! Overbuilt for the area honestly. I would built my own custom built home for that price🤔

If I have over a million and retiring, I wouldn’t mind buying such house, except that: location location location ‼️ A million dollar would also include the necessary infrastructure like level1 trauma hospital, wide roads and easy accessibility. Nice place though, but there’s no lawn to speak of.

@Chris Mogren……. I hope you are aware of the Philippine Constitution. Those who are qualified to acquire or hold lands of the public domain are as follows: 1. Filipino citizens. 2. Corporations at least 60% of the capital of which is owned by Filipinos. In other words, the Constitution explicitly prohibits non-Filipinos from acquiring or holding title to private lands.

Better convert it as an exclusive resort. Beauriful hoyse but I wont buy it for 65m price

Beautiful property and excellent job and great ideas of the owner when they build but just a simple reason to change and sale it with all the hardship built your dream home is an insane decision, I guess it could be more than that but anyway hopefully your property will sale soon probably to the political people or more on abroad couple too so GOOD LUCK

Your right, thanks for the suggestion.

I was wondering about his full motivation for leaving, before seeing the shooting range. I mentioned this to my wife and she didn’t think much of it. Then, after seeing the shooting range, she agreed something else might be going on (she is from a town where a major was assassinated by his successor, sound familiar?). Gun ownership in the Philippines is not like in the US. People often provide the most ‘acceptable’ reasons for leaving when asked. Could be nothing, maybe just impressions stemming from my suspicious nature. Od course everyone needs to do their own research.
