Wow.. beautiful house…. I retired and built my house in a province in Luzon… We made our own 5 inch hollow blocks by hand… We made them 50/50 cement to sand… very strong… Hollow blocks that are sold by others usually only use 20% or 30% cement… not good..

Thank you for sharing your experience and valuable information

Good luck to him..the problem lies with the addressable market. Selling high end houses unless it’s in high net worth area will be problematic. It’s pretty simple, look at the surrounding properties..price ..how many sold ..how long etc.

Beautiful house, love his idea.

Wow, that is a beautiful place! But man, if you don’t have it sold before you build it or know that it will sell you’re doing nothing but losing money. I can’t imagine building a place like that in the Philippines. Unless the price was so inflated, he could knock it down 20% percent. Not having that many more years left to live, I could think of better things to do than building houses . But I guess it’s to each their own . 👍

I can see how that place is going to be hard to sell. Quality materials and work. You didn't mention how much electricity it uses, but I can imagine, with all that glass and lots of air cons, it's going to cost a fortune in electricity. Definitely needs solar.

great price, not sure about area, but construction is superb. If I liked the area, id buy it sight unseen. I own 1 house I built in Angeles city and and luxury condo I short term it to tourists that's printing $$. - just context as I know a bit.

Great video Alex , thx a lot I love the floor layout with internal "courtyard" swimming pool. Is the skylight a reflective tinted glass? Are the attic spaces naturally vented at peak points of the roofs?

Great house and tour, it would be great if you could post the Architect's name?

The hollow blocks really don't support anything. The columns and beams are supposed to do all of the support. The walls could be bamboo and nipa. 19.5 million is a good price. He may want to raise it, because the right buyer would pay more for it.

That is another Kano Kastle. Already dropped the price 20%..... Building these luxury structures and then trying to sell them is a losing proposition. Build comfortable but reasonable. Once these old guys kick off there's no way the family can maintain these properties. And it's very difficult to sell them.

Airbnb, $300/night is for the whole house ? House price is reasonable at $19.5 M . It’s customized and for specific taste and reflects his taste.

I simply don't know where else I should put the location.

I saw a house being built about a year ago in Leyte. I believe on the Tim K channel. The builder bought a cement mixer and made his own hollow blocks to ensure strength and quality control. The house was built to withstand the typhoons that are common in Leyte.
