Less Than 4 Weeks to Go! Dream Home Progress Update + Land for Sale in Bohol
With less than four weeks until our February 26 completion target, we’re back in Bohol for a major progress update-and so much has changed! Over our three-day visit, we went plant shopping and witnessed some incredible transformations in the home:

✨ Floors are being polished, giving the home a sleek, modern finish.
🌿 Bamboo walls are installed in the bathrooms and pocket garden, bringing a beautiful, natural touch to the space.
🪟 Glass is now in the bedrooms, making the rooms feel more complete.
🪴 Plant shopping (and a little ‘borrowing’ from April’s Aunties!)-we picked out and planted greenery for the pocket gardens.

And to be honest, the last few days I've started to wonder-are they right? Or did I just get incredibly lucky with an amazing architect and contractor?

      Hey mate, we found the architect/builder in Bohol. They did our friend’s house and we loved it and interviewed 3 architects and are so happy we went with them. They designed and built for us. Their workmanship has far exceeded our expectations. In a lot of cases, things they have done are even better than what I would have gotten in Australia at a fraction of the cost. We’re very grateful for them. They have become quite busy from inquiries from the videos though which we are happy to have helped their success. They have a website now www.cndesignandbuild.com. Would highly recommend getting in touch if you are looking at building in Bohol. Cheers! - Matt

    Matt, the glass roof is it polycarbonate Twin wall hollow board if so, I would strongly advise you to seal both ends with a breedable tape. It will stop bugs getting inside and nesting and it will also stop it condensating both of which looks Unpleasant😅 i’m speaking from experience. I built a large greenhouse which now looksl Unsightly😅

    Looks amazing! We had an older rental house in a wooded area similar to yours and our bathroom had open spaces where windows should have been. We had quite a lot of mosquitos that liked to be in there. I guess one reason is the dampness and that it is cooler in there. Wonder if there is something the builder can do to stop the mosquitos from coming in to your open bathroom without seeing a screen.

      Hey Simon, it really depends on whether it’s constructed as part of the build. As it was in the terrace, there wasn’t so much excavation required and ended up costing less than 350k but if you had to dig etc as a fresh job, might be more. Really not sure sorry :)

      Thanks Adrian! It really feels surreal to walk around in there and remember what it was just 15 weeks ago. A muddy overgrown lot. Im itching to get the outside done. April had to stop me at the nursery cus i wanted to keep buying plants :) too early though. Cheers! Matt

      Hey mate, that’s a good idea. Might do that in a couple of weeks while we are travelling through Malaysia and can’t get to the site. Thanks for the suggestion! Cheers - Matt

    The land price is actually pretty insane. Not just there, but since the mass wave of foreigners moving there land has become jokingly overpriced. I guess technically if that price sticks or gets higher then it's not over, but actual price now. But my point still is that for a pretty tiny lot for the price that's so overpriced when you compare cost of living like food, services and such. That 3000sm lot is about .75 of a single acre for US folks reading, and for that the cost is roughly $91,500. Just numbers-wise that is literally ridiculous. Almost 100k for not even 1 acre of raw undeveloped land. It's not like all utilities are conveniently right there to setup, it's down a tiny dirt road that gets wildly muddy for half the year at least. This sounds like I'm just complaining but I am merely sharing my thoughts which I have the right to do. I am moving to PH in a couple months myself and have done a vast amount of research and planning so I also have thought a long time about land cost and watches the massive skyrocket that has raised by maybe 1000x faster than most other cost of living items. I am hoping to find something just a bit further from a major hot spot because those are the worst areas where the land owners and the govt have turned into sharks. If I am driving anyway being 30 min away instead of 15 or 20 is no problem, especially if I find something like an old coconut farm over an acre of land and flat for around 2000 US. And no agents also trying to make their cut which on that there is no laws on a limit so they would get the land for 2k from the family then lost it for millions.. that's exactly what happens like in your area. And it spreads out as the rich local tries to buy out the outskirts.

      Hey mate, completely understand and agree. The prices of property here are completely disproportionate to the cost of living. I keep wondering who are the people buying. The lots we showed are comparatively very cheap compared to lots available in Tagbilaran town. Ive seen 800m lots for 9 mil! I remember a few years ago I was in Siargao and looked at lots. Was a 700m lot and they wanted 9.5m! I went back to Australia and bought 68 acres for the same price I think there are still bargains to be had here but a lot of people think their property is worth more than it is. Thanks for commenting and watching! - Matt

      Property prices are crazy, it started back in 2008 when the u.s had issues. It carried over into this market because most of the land owners have property in the u.s. what everyone forgets is the Philippines is a big island in the middle of the ocean and the land is not getting bigger so when people start showing interest greed kicks in!! Prices will continue to go up but there will always be someone who needs to sell fast and that will you find the deals. We have numerous properties and we buy and sell all the time, condos included, and prices are constantly rising because of the world we live in… good luck

    Lovely design, guess it is your plan. Rarely people do aircon less building structures. If I have a strong telescope I might see your house from my place - I am on Cebu and at night I can see the lights of Tagbilaran. In my house there is no such thing as aircon as well and my bath is without roof as well. My wife was shy at first as she said that abat could see her when she takes a bath...
