Plan has always been to retire with sand between my toes, now have a place to do it. 3 hectares of beach front with a small coconut plantation and rice farm on Guimaras.

Don't have a house yet but Canreef members will be welcome.

:D

Congrats!

Cool. Congrats!

Wowzers. That's quite the thing .. congrats!

Yep, I'm pretty excited

already did

Wow, beautiful spot to retire. Is this happening soon? Quite a change from Alberta weather.

Wow,

Congratulations Mark, looks like a great place to retire!

Ok you win! That's a heck of a lot of salt water!!

:razz:

Got about 8 years left until able a pension but will be a few trips out there between now and then. First planning for next December.

Sweet! 3 hectares, that is a big chunk of land. Makes my condo & dive shop plans in Mexico look pretty small.:lol:
Congrats, I hope everything will work out for you as planned.

Wow 3 football fields you can do a lot with that much space.
Congrats

Enjoy it while it lasts (global warming *cough cough*)! :biggrin:

Recently had a line on another place that was a little bit more interesting in that the beach was sort of crescent shaped with cliffs on either side making it private.

Issues were though nearest road was a kilometer away, beach too narrow to build on so house would have been on the bluff behind (carving stairs up 20m of limestone to access), no water, no power and the tiny problem the only proof of ownership the seller could produce was he paid property taxes on it in 1980. Ended up it was now a timber reserve with severe restrictions on development.

So when is the Huge tank going on with NSW cycling through it imagine
NSW all the time 24/7
natural Light
not heaters
no skimmer

I was checking out the price of property out there sweet, but how much is it going to cost to build a house?

I like where your head is at.
Nice purchase.

Since have a while until able to actually retire, plan is to start with a large cabana type place close to the beach, then building a more permanent type retirement home little more inland. Still would keep the cabana, idea it becoming a guest house. Figuring about 20K for the main place.

hmm there is a 1h property on the beach right now for 65K cdn.. add 20K man what an afordable place to retire.. would just have to home you can live off a pension there and you got it made.. congrats man

Sweet! and Congrats :biggrin:
