Samal Dreaming

Sometimes I find myself dreaming about my future life on Samal.  Sometimes I go through periods when I am not sure I will end up living in Samal, but most of the time, my heart tells me that I want to live there.

In my video, I talk about our Samal dreams, what we are thinking about when it comes to living, and such.

We would really like to move to Samal right away, but unfortunately, it is not practical for us right now.  We have kids who are still young.  Our youngest is just 9 years old right now.  Unfortunately, there are no schools on Samal Island at this time that are up the quality standards that we want for our kids.

While Samal is not far from the City, the commute is long enough, that it is not practical for our kids to commute to school in the City either.

But, we will make it to Samal, and it won’t be that long!  For now, it’s good that we can visit the Island regularly, and also dream about life there!

When we make it over there permanently, will we see you there?  I hope so!

Our Property on Samal Island

Two years ago Bob and I purchased a piece of land on Samal Island. Its a very nice property.  It is near the landmark of Samal, the “Whitehouse” they called it.

Our land its just 50 Meters or so away meters from The Whitehouse of Samal. It has a good view of the city of Davao, gulf of Davao and Mt. Apo. Also if good weather you can even see  Mt. Matutum in Polomolok, South Cotabato.

The land is on the top of the hill. It already has electricity, the water is just down the street. If somebody starts building they will bring the water to the place where we have the land now. Also we are thinking of collecting rain water too. I think the SmartBro for internet works there.  I know it works in much of Samal, but we still have to have a site survey done to see if works right in that location yet.  It SmartBro doesn’t work now, it certainly will in the not-so-distant future. No problems for TV,  just have Dream Satelite TV.

Down the hill from us you can see lots of famous and good resorts of Samal like Paradise Island, Chemas by the Sea, Blue Waters, Costa Marina and many more. The land it’s just 10 to 15 minutes away from the ferry terminal. From the terminal to the city with the ferry it just takes like 10 minutes.

The land is also not far from a small shopping store. This store is just good for everyday little thing. If you want to shop for good variety of stuff just go to the city then. Samal is not equiped for that yet, but it will be in a few years, I expect.

The owner is selling the land right now for P2500 per square meter. I guess he is also offering an installment payment of up to 48 months. Just put 20% down payment and the rest you pay it monthly. He is a nice guy and really easy to talk to. All land has title.  If you are interested I could hook you up with the owner . If you want to see the land just email me through the contact form and I will let the owner know.  I really hope we can be neighbors someday!

If you have more questions just send a note through the contact form. I will gladly introduce you to the owner of the land and will even take you the land so you can have a look!  This particular parcel of land is almost sold out, though, so if you want to be neighbors, better hurry!
