How deep is your pool???
@@JC-ty3zq 5 1/2'
Hey nice villa building!!!Have you heard the bad news!!!Dominican Republic Government plans to DEPORT Haitians!!!
That looks great bro welcome to the DR wish you the best 👍
@@elmaster091 thank you so much.
Pool looks great !
Looking great! 1100sq. Mt. Include pool?
@@lylerobinson3515 Property is 563 sq/m and house is 110. Price included pool and patio, but the 110 SQ footage is only the house.
Cool video. What's your thoughts on how much a monthly budget to live your life style there?
@@lylerobinson3515 we are hoping to live on about $2500/month. We are soon to be getting estimates for solar, so we can go off grid and save on the monthly power bill.
Will you be under 200 grand on the house land? What’s the monthly HOA fee? Sorry for being so direct
@@MattSmith-pf5di We will be under $250 Canadian all in including solar. HOA is $100/month.
@@OurDominicanDream 😎 nice
What store was that?
@@lylerobinson3515 Called Playaro. It's one of the local supermarkets.
Congratulations on moving to the Dominican Republic and building a beautiful home very cool and great choice. My wife and I currently live in California and want to know the square footage or meters of your home? Thanksd
@@KevinHunter-mi1qi The property is 563 sq/m and the house is 110 sq/m. Thanks for watching!
How much was spent total
@@DonJose86 $1200/sq m. Land was $30,000. House is 110sq/m. There will be some additional costs as we have requested extras such as the stairs to the roof.
@@OurDominicanDreamthanks for the response you got a sub, however your builder ripped you a new one 1200/Sq meter is highway robbery, but compared to your country cost I know u guys were still happy, the key is to negotiate negotiate then do it some more along with some spanish you get it ch3aper, I did my house for 700/Sq meter but I speak the language even though I'm still a gringo
@@DonJose86 well we saw the quality 700 would get us, so we went with the better builder. 👍🏻
Good job, keep it up. Would it be possible for you guys to do a cost breakdown of the project ?
@@Odiaz010 sounds like something we could do in a future video for sure. Very affordable if you are used to North American prices!
@@OurDominicanDream Will look forward to it. Thanks for the reply
Welcome to eating real food, that's why it tastes amazing. I had the same experience in Ecuador, Malaysia, and the Philippines
Love it there❣️🏖️
I like the video of the cows and the nature and stuff. Do more of that.
@@TheRadJaguar will do. Once we get our car, we will do more exploring.
Thanks for share I enjoy everyone one of your videos :)
@@LoLo-YT429 thank you, we aren't professionals, but we try to make it at least interesting. Lol
@@OurDominicanDream you guys are doing great I think! :) keep up the great work .. I just finished you last video now !
Cool dream
What is the name of the complex that you are building at ?
Residential Pueblo Espanol
Congratulation
Well done guys. I was looking for information with regards to Dominican Republic and found your site. Very exciting time, you will not regret looking for a different lifestyle and adventure. Life is absolutely to short, cram in as much as you can.
you are in a good spot! i know that road and we have bought and sold 3 houses on it in our 8 years here.
Congratulations...it's coming along nicely! 🙂We're making the move to Punta Cana and will be building also. It's exciting to watch your progress.
Same over here I will making videos soon
It’s looking great! Is that a shared driveway off the street up to your villa?
@@CynthiaMcGiverin no, nice double wide driveway.
@@OurDominicanDream thanks ! We are vicariously living through you two 😊
Oh boy, that's La Mulata, a lot of robberies and murders in there, I hope you have 24/7 armed security. Just do a simple google search. Good luck!!!
I’m happy I found your page. Fellow Ontario police officer with 10 years left for full pension, and have the exact same plan as you and Christine. My wife and I and 3 children have been planning this for several years for the very reasons you discussed in this video. Congratulations on living your dreams.
Good for you to have a plan. Hope the next 11 years treat you well.
I hope my spare bedroom has a queen bed 😉
Sure will!!
We're interested in building..is it getting more expensive for the building material..How much it's cost so far?
Building costs have gone up since 2020 but just like everywhere. Different builders charge different rates per sq/m, but also offer different options as to what is included. Our build is $1200 US per sq/m and basically covers everything that we wanted.
Where in DR?
Sosua, North Coast.
Do you guys have Instagram!? We will be staying in LA mulata for a couple months in Feb!
No instagram, another lady has our page name.
I just found this page! Stoked, me and my wife are just about to do the same (from canada) this place is shot!! We spent a month in cabarete last April and caught the bug,we love DR
Glad you like the page. More to come!
Is my second acount Iber from fb
Hi from San pedro de macoris East European 🇪🇺 Living Dominican dream But my wife 🇩🇴
Hello from David and Christine 😊
Loving your videos. We’re about a year behind you but looking forward to making the DR our home too.
Let us know when you are coming, we can show you around
Thank you so much. We do it for fun. Hopefully we get better as we go.
Good luck on your construction project. I am currently building an apartment building in Guayacanes, Dominican Republic. I am on the second line from the beach. I am located about 5 minutes from Juan Dolio.
Sounds beautiful.
Wow your team is amazing! Do they only work in sosua/Cabarete area? Hard to find builders you can trust in DR. Are there any ocean view lots available?
Always lots available. Our realtors Michael and Sheena can point you in the right direction for sure.
Hope this is me and my wife on 5 years. But maybe las terrenas area.
Have a wonderful journey in the DR.
Also Delightful Travellers on RUclips, and the Educated Traveler. Casa Linda has lots of videos, but we decided not to go with subdivision gated community lifestyle.
Nice update! Im sure the delays are frustrating. If you had to redo would you build again? Buy a resale? Rent? I can retire in 2 years with a decent pension so we plan to at least spend winter in a warm climate. I like the area you are building in. Health care is very important as I had a heart attack this year so I think returning to Ontario for the summer will be a must to keep OHIP. Big decisions need to be made but sale of our house is planned soon. Major downsizing first then we will figure out the rest. We have been to Punta Cana many times and also Puerto Plata a long time ago but have not been to Sosua or Cabarete. I am following Jamie Gruber on youtube who has excellent info on living in Punta Cana but need to find more good resources for the north coast. If you have any recommendations please share. I look forward to more videos.

I also designed my villa rather than pick from cookie cutter gated community designs. Health care is around $80-120 US per person/month and is top notch care. They don't even ask about previous medical conditions. North Coast for us was a no brainer because it's not all about resorts and of course no Hurricanes!

Love this !
Thank you so much. We do it just for fun. Keep watching, more to come!
Thank you for posting these great videos. As for you build schedule. I'm sensing you're beginning to realize what those of us who have been thru building in the DR know. Whether it be weather or labor or any number of other reasons, the villa won't be finished on schedule. But, when the finish date comes & goes, don't despair, it will be finished. And, the entire experience will be in the rear view mirror. Please keep us posted.
True enough, but our builder still insists we will be on schedule as per our contract. Fingers crossed.
Hi guys, come see me when you get back. The weather has been pretty good except for a few days here and there.
I'll definitely try to track you down as long as you haven't moved on to greener pastures by then
I have really gotten to know a lot of people in my life, with Dave and Christine there was a spark of trust, friendliness and a connection from the beginning, which has strengthened over the past few months. We thank God with all our hearts that these two wonderful people came into our lives and that we have the opportunity to maintain and grow this friendship and neighborhood. You can't look for friends, they just come into your life. I really enjoy keeping these two lovely people up to date with videos, photos, voice and text messages. We are really looking forward to seeing you. Greetings from paradise from Rudi and Tanja🤜🇨🇦❤🇩🇪🤛
We feel exactly the same. I've lived with neighbors that make like difficult, and I know that this will certainly not be the case. We can never really show you how much we appreciate all you have done for us. Great people, great neighbors and great friends for years to come!❤🌴
Love the kind words, we truly feel the same way ❤️
P.s. The version of Costco is called PriceMart in Santiago!
IKEA selection is better in Santo Domingo. Puerto Plata has a bunch of furniture stores. Hidelisa - highly recommend this one. L&R And a few more! There is a store in Sabaneta that I would recommend for loungers etc. ShiptoDR is amazing.
You are guys are amazing. I’m so proud of you. 🤗 I love the video. Thank you for sharing. 🙏
Thank you for following.❤
We went to see your villa in June as we were looking at land with Sheena & Michael. Thank you for sharing your journey.
Thank you for sharing ❤ I’ll be there in September and can’t wait to start looking for land. I’m going to check out Sousa now, thank you again oh and congratulations and God speed on your new journey 💕🙏
Thank you and let us know if we can assist with contact info for our realtor or builder.❤

Beautiful villa...God Bless
Thanks a lot
Just came across your awesome channel recently and subscribed...great content..thank you!...Would love to know how much is the sq meter in the Mulata area
Land prices vary, and also depends which builder you choose. We settled with $1100/sq m all in.
good morning if not to personal what was price of land and cost of build, we r Canadian also and will do early retirement next year started to look at Punta Cana as prices seem to have gotten steep in Sousa but Sousa is where our hearts are.
We paid $30,000 us for land and 1100/sq m for the build
@@OurDominicanDream sorry cost for sq m ? or is that sq feet
Beautiful, very good designs! Congratulation! Jimmy does not like the camara!
Jimmy got fired. Lol. Didn't offer much to the community in the way of security.
110sq/m
