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.

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.
