“We will be raising prices Jan. 1st and I don’t think we will have much under $150,000 in the future.”
That’s the word from my developer friend at Rancho Santana. I believe him. Rancho Santana has the same parent company as International Living and Pathfinder. So I know they have deep enough pockets to weather pretty much anything, without dropping prices. They are seriously bullish on this stretch of coast.
In picture perfect Ireland, along the western seaboard and in the rolling countryside it’s a buyer’s market. You could even buy a historic house for free…or close to free.
Take one historic mansion in the south-east of Ireland, for example. Gowran Castle in Co Kilkenny.
This is a strong opportunity for the right person who can act fast. You see, the owner needs to sell. It originally listed for $179,000. Then she dropped her price and wanted no less than $159,000. Now I hear she wants out fast.
I’ve just got word on a special situation opportunity in the elegant beach town of Las Terrenas for one member of our little group.
This beach town is boutique. It’s free from high-rises and crowds. Development has been tightly restricted. Outside town there are a couple of larger all-inclusive hotels. But, that’s it. Everything else is refined. And it will stay that way.
With only 390 lots spread out over 2,700 acres, it’s low density. It’s very private. While you can enjoy living in what feels like a secluded place overlooking the ocean, you are never too far away from the action. There’s a fabulous restaurant, grocery store, a tennis court and even yoga classes…
Last week I told you about an opportunity to buy a condo in stunning Las Terrenas for less than the price of a luxury sedan. Today, I’m writing to tell you about another condo opportunity in the same Caribbean town in the Dominican Republic.
As a RETA member, you have first dibs on a spacious condo in a secure gated residence in the Caribbean. The best part is the price-tag—it’s only $54,400. The property is in the boutique town of Las Terrenas in the Dominican Republic.
One of my contacts in Nicaragua just reached out to me with a one-shot deal. A distressed seller is willing to make a loss on a wooded lot that comes with an amazing ocean view on the steep portion of the site.
There’s something about buying a property overseas. The purchase process is alien compared to the one back home…you don’t speak the language…and it’s all so exciting and full of possibilities. It’s easy to get caught up in the buying process, and it’s very easy to get carried away. You need to remember that some things stay the same. Don’t leave your common sense at home.
In February I told you that Las Terrenas on the Dominican Republic’s Samana peninsula is a little piece of paradise. Nineteen miles of walkable public beach, palm trees, warm breezes and stars so bright it feels like you could pluck them from the sky. I can’t think of a nicer place to have a beach home. You’ll find your dollars stretch here, too. Particularly with an opportunity like this one…
