Golf Villa #259 is a very interesting Casa de Campo villa. At first glance it looks a lot like a standard Casa de Campo “golf villa” with 3 bedrooms, and a large central indoor-outdoor living space, but then you go downstairs and discover the same again – another 3 bedrooms with a large indoor-outdoor living space. Golf Villa #259 is essentially two “golf villas” placed on top of one another – yes that’s right it is the equivalent of 2 golf villas for the price of one! This is the ultimate investment opportunity or the perfect home/vacation home for a very large family!
Golf Villa #259 • 6 bedrooms • 6 bathrooms and 2 “half” bathrooms • 2 kitchens • large jacuzzi and terrace • large garden • 1 dining room • 3 indoor living spaces/rooms • 2 large outdoor terrace areas • separate entrances at the top and bottom of the villa • USD$ 750,000 (negotiable)
Golf Villa #259 – an investment? The following are just a few reasons as to why this Casa de Campo villa constitues a good investment: 1. The Price, USD$ 750,000 = 2 villas for the price of one! Both floors of this Casa de Campo golf villa are essentially identical and independent. Upstairs: 1 master bedroom, 2 guest rooms, 1 guest bathroom, kitchen, dining room and indoor-outdoor living space + a jacuzzi Downstairs: 1 master bedroom, 2 guest rooms, 1 guest bathroom, kitchen, dining room and indoor-outdoor living space The price of a 3 bedroom Casa de Campo golf villa is currently between US$550,000 (Golf Villa #44 – 3 bedrooms, golf view, jacuzzi, in need of refurbishment) and US$750,000 (Golf Villa #25 – 3 bedrooms, golf view, jacuzzi), therefore Golf Villa #259 does literally offer 2 villas for the price of one! 2. Room to renovate and elevate the price Golf villa #259 is not in bad condition at all, however there is certainly room for improvement. A savy buyer could take this property and with a few minor refurbishments (new bathrooms, modern furniture, a repaint…) increase the value of the villa to as much as US$1million – not a bad potential profit. 3. Rental Potential Such a large villa makes an excellent “budget” option for large families or groups of friends wanting to vacation in Casa de Campo – which makes it easy to rent. This villa currently rents for approximately US$375 and US$500 per night depending on the season, a potential income of up to US$15,000 per month – more than enough to pay the bills with a nice profit left over to play with. 4. Divide, conquer and profit! As I already mentioned this Casa de Campo golf villa has 2 identical self contained floors, which means this 1 golf villa could very easily be divided into 2 completely separate golf villas – with very minimal building or renovations required. This could be used to a buyers profiteering advantage in a number of ways:
- Divide the Villa into 2 villas – and sell as 2 separate villas. Bearing in mind the cheapest Casa de Campo golf villa currently available on the Casa de Campo real estate market is US$525,000 with only 2 bedrooms. So if you took this 6 bedroom golf villa and divided it into two 3 bedroom golf villas – you have the potential to sell each half for at least US$500,000 each or rather US$1million for both.
- Divide the villa into 2 villas – live in one and sell the other. If you are looking for a reasonably priced family home in Casa de Campo, there really are very few options – especially if your budget is less than US$500,000. However, if you bought this golf villa for the asking price of US$750,000, you could live in one half and sell the other half at the incredibly reasonable price of say US$500,000 – then you would have paid only US$250,000 for your half. Of course this option is a risk, but what an opportunity! And even if you only managed to sell the other half for US$400,000 – you would still have only paid US$350,000 for your half (that’s US$175,00 cheaper than the cheapest Casa de Campo villa currently available.)
- Divide the villa into 2 villas – live in one and rent the other. This is perhaps the easiest option. As the villa already has 2 separate entrances and can be divided in a very basic way by locking the stairway between the 2 floors – the villa can be divided at no cost whatsoever, for the purposes of renting. The other half of the villa could then be rented on a monthly basis for at least US$2,000 per month (certainly enough to cover maintenance bills) or rented on a per night basis for US$250 – with the potential of bringing in an income of approximately US$7,000 per month.
Wow! I’ve just made such a good argument for buying this villa, I’m tempted to buy it for myself – can anyone lend me US$750,000?
