The Property

We are selling, by owner, four ocean view surfing lots, each beachfront surf property, in the Siargao Islands, Philippines, near General Luna and Cloud 9 . All are buildable, flat, with lots of limestone, at a good size for building material on top, and solid under a foot or so of soil for your building foundation. Land is elevated and storm surge/tsunami safe. These small island lots also have Excellent cell phone and internet reception.

You get the best views in Siargao, surf at your doorstep, other breaks a paddle away, and dozens more if you want to jump in the boat. Tide-pools, and caves close by, a white sand beach as beautiful as any in the world a short hike away (and a couple of smaller sandy beach areas on the property itself), access to our beach area with ongoing landscaping and hardscaping, coconuts up the ying yang, fruit trees, live coral to snorkel/dive in, spear fishing (be cool and use a Hawaiian sling or locally made gun....fancy stuff frowned upon if not outright illegal). 12 minutes to General Luna at full speed, normally 22 mins.
The waves are as beautiful as any I've ever seen, with some days very near perfect glass peashooters coming in one after another.for days. The season runs approximately from late Sept. untill May with some scattered days in the off season as well. The reef is aligned as a beach break directly in front of the property, and is very flat seagrass padded limestone. Averages about shoulder high and in Dec. can be overhead perfection.
Along with this upper purchased area, the "salvage zone" of 20 meters extending inland from the high tide mark (basically a beach portion and the cliff) is owned by the government, but essentially included, for view, stairway, privacy, cabana (kubo), or other non permanent structure.
So besides the area you buy, you have use of what's in front of it to the surf line. Essentially doubling the actual area purchased for use.
Things you might consider DOWNSIDES being 1. You are off the grid and 2. You need a cistern for rain water. (Though as far as quantity goes the evening rains easily keep our tank with more than adequate supply. And the quality, in this pollution free environment , seems much better than our well in town thats always getting clogged with sand, and the filters frequently need cleaning or replacing due to finer nasties)
For our refridgeration we're going with LPG, for lighting etc, a small wind generator and diesel generator backup. (Coconut oil is an outstanding biodiesel alternative, easy to make, and plentiful here.)
