New Listing - Villa Los Sauces

We've just listed Villa Los Sauces, a 3 bedroom 2.5 bath home in Flamingos Residential, behind Mega. This is an exciting property; it's a lot more house than you would expect in this price range.

 
It's stylish, spacious and impeccable.



People drive by this subdivision all the time, with no idea of what an appealing, well-kept neighborhood is inside the gates. The streets are wide. The density is low. And the homes are attractively styled.




Monthly fees are only 360 pesos, and include maintenance of the streets, street lights, common green area landscaping, sewage, and 24 hour security.


$234,900 USD appliances included, furnishings negotiable.

Tranquility Through Perspective, Insights From the Gulag


“What about the main thing in life, all its riddles? If you want, I’ll spell it out for you right now. Do not pursue what is illusionary — property and position: all that is gained at the expense of your nerves decade after decade, and is confiscated in one fell night. Live with a steady superiority over life — don’t be afraid of misfortune, and do not yearn for happiness; it is, after all, all the same: the bitter doesn’t last forever, and the sweet never fills the cup to overflowing. It is enough if you don’t freeze in the cold and if thirst and hunger don’t claw at your insides. If your back isn’t broken, if your feet can walk, if both arms can bend, if both eyes can see, if both ears hear, then whom should you envy? And why? Our envy of others devours us most of all. Rub your eyes and purify your heart — and prize above all else in the world those who love you and who wish you well. Do not hurt them or scold them, and never part from any of them in anger; after all, you simply do not know: it may be your last act before your arrest, and that will be how you are imprinted on their memory,” – Aleksander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago, 1918-1956: An Experiment in Literary Investigation.

Two Adjacent Canal Lots, Bargain Price!

Robert:

We have just taken an interesting listing. Lot 161 and 160, adjacent canal lots in Section II of Nuevo Vallarta.  Each lot is approximately 20 meters by 38 meters, 771 sq meters (8,295 sq ft) each, for a total of 1,542 sq meters (16,592 sq ft).

Each lot has 20 linear meters of canal frontage, so a total of 40 linear meters on the canal (131 ft).

Lot 160
 This is on the best section of Jacarandas Street, on a good, navigable section of secondary canal, with clean homes all around. The price for both lots is just $395,000 USD. Finding two adjacent lots on a good street and good section of canal is extremely rare.

HOWEVER, there is a very large home, 8 (yes, eight!) bedrooms and 3 baths, on lot 161. Conceivably, the home could be extensively repaired and remodeled. But, I think most people would consider it a tear down. It is in seriously bad condition.



In my opinion, this should be viewed as an opportunity to own two spacious lots, haul away the rubble of the old house, and build something extraordinary.

We have 161 newly listed in both MLS systems here, with a side note that 160 is also for sale, pending some paperwork issues being resolved (they can and will be).

However, if someone wanted to make an offer on just one lot, the owner says she would consider that, although her ultimate goal is to sell them both, preferably as a package.
