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.
The Whitehouse of Samal Island
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!

we are headed to Samal Island in November this year; a client who lives at the blue house invited us to stay with them. While there, we might look for a property to buy to retire. I am a Pilipino citizen too. Are there reasonable properties available for sale? All we wanted is a small house – maybe 2 or 3 bedrooms on top of a hill, where it is nice and quiet. I am originally from Malolos Bulacan and still have brothers and sisters over there but I am looking forward to living quietly somewhere like Samal Island.
Thank you and I am looking forward to our visit.
I live in davao and also own land on samal .Biggest problem with samal is unless you own a boat for a quick trip to davao you are fairly isolated . should one have a medical emergency after 5 pm until 6 am well you can kiss your behind goodbye as you wont get to davao in time . shopping is not a problem unless you dont own a ref or freezer. however infrastructure like power and water can be depending on where your land is . i love my block there its elevated close to the beach and overlooks ligid islands . nice for a weekender but i will keep my house in davao .
