Surf Property For Sale

The Property
We are selling, by owner, twoocean view surfing lots, each beachfront surf property, in the Siargao Islands, Philippines, near General Luna and Cloud 9 area. The smaller island lot (designated parcel #2) totalling 1000 sq. meters, which is .247 acres (about 1/4 acre). The other (designated parcel #1SOLD) is 2000 sq meters. Both all 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.
***We had added a parcel we will disignate Parcel #3 right next to Parcel #1. It is 2500 sq m and very much the same as the neighboring parcel. It is already surveyed and subdivided which limits the ability to customize, but is a done deal and saves you the cost of a surveyor.***
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.
Thewaves 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 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 double 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.....as well as the "foreshore" area, extending 150 meters into the water and the surf, also leased from the government. No one will ever put up fish traps, fences, or anything else between you and your surf. (though you can't fence it either....foot access thru must be maintained)
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.
How Much
Parcel #1 SOLD
Parcel #2 is at the lower westerly end of the property and is now P750 per sqm x 1000 sqm = P750,000. The size is flexible with 1000 sqm being the minimum and expanding in 500 sqm increments up to 2000 sqm.
Parcel #3 is P1500 per sqm x 2500 sqm or P3,750,000.
Look around. You won't find surf at your doorstep, readily accessible to a viable town, hardly anywhere in the world....especially at this price.
Sure you can get property on Siargao for less per square meter if you buy a whole lot more square meters (including that salvage zone area you can never own, that we include honestly without figuring into the area cost). However if you don't mind driving or taking a boat to have a session, enjoy karaoke at all hours, and aren't concerned with tsunamis or storm surges, then the main island may be for you instead.
If you find something you like better for less, go for it. But if you're interested in the best the area has to offer, contact us.
To qualify you will either have to be a Philippine national, be married to one, incorporate. (I'm told that costs of incorporation run about P60k or about $1,500 US ), or lease for 25 years + 25 totalling 50 years. If at any time during the lease period it should become legal for non Filipinos to own, or you marry a Filipina, or want to transfer ownership, the lease will be converted to a sale.
Note also that this island, being under the prescribed hectares for securing a title, is tax declaration secured only at this point, but if you discuss it with your attorney and he does his homework you will find that the cad surveys have been done and soon that will change.
We also have pics in the gallery of a piece of larger property for sale by our caretaker (and friend). A couple thousand meters down the beach, east of us.
