- How much did i pay for my property by the sea and how did i find it...it was a long journey to find something beautiful. New laws and restrictions made it nearly impossible to find a beautiful place in europe where you can live with happiness.
I live in a fire prone region. I would urge you to clear the land in the immediate vicinity of the living space. Also, build a swimming pool and get a fire grade water pump to defend your house/family against potential forest fires. good luck.
Thank you for a very candid and honest video.
You managed to put into words some of my experiences and fears of the buying process in a foreign country.
I wish you every success with the land.
I cried a little, I laughed a little. Then, after I heard so many times this word in the video I realized that your story is in parallels with everyone's story in these times. The internet. It is in our lives about everything and has cut us from the real info around. As for the property, regarding what you have in mind and the specs of your property (price, size, placement, neighboring, etc) you did a great-great purchase. And wow man! You free dive in the sea like an Italian or like a Greek!
I am happy you are following your dream, man. Thank you.
Vielen Dank Casey, beautiful story. You look for many years and found nothing, then casual you meet a stranger and you found your propety! Thanks Greetings from The Netherlands, Simon.
I am a Greek living in Germany and i was a real estate agent in Greece before i move here. The price is good for what you purchased and i wish you all the best. Enjoy the new adventures and visit everything around... Samothraki, Thasos, Limnos and the caves of kaviria mystiria etc. Mykonos is not as good as your paradise Plus, you can visit all Aegean islands and Kyclades.
Oh how much i have missed these crystal clear waters!
So so wonderful a story, really heartwarming.truth and goodness will usually come through even though the universe constantly throws us, certainly you, unreasonable challenges. This story makes watching your videos even more meaningful, to know the journey.
My husband kind of watches in the background and said”come on, move it on, how did he find it?!” I told him, have patience, I want the details!
We had a lovely little place for holidays in France, for 20yrs but Brexit and a health condition of my husband ended that two years ago, we sold it. But the best hints remain, close French friends there, offering a place to stay and less stress I guess..from release.
Your journey is well on the way.
We know parts of Greece but this May, early season we discovered Skiathos and found it beautiful, so peaceful. I love to see it in your background!
Your dog is a star swimming!
Good Luck. From Uk x
Incredible landscapes...awesome video footage 👌You are leaving in a paradise my friend
Big adventure but overall you learned a lot and finally you got your space in paradise...
The price could be better BUT the sea access you have is very valuable....
Keep on going
Last video with the Beach and the waters blend with the rocks looks amazing. And dog so cute following your wife swimming. Enjoy 😊
What an adventure! I truly believe when we have a strong desire for something, that comes from the heart, the whole universe conspires to give it to us. It may take one day, one month or two years, it doesn't matter. You found your little piece of paradise, with views to your beloved Skiathos island. You're living your dream! Also, one of the most amazing things is that, when you bought the property, you didn't even know there's already an abandoned home awaiting for you to pour your love and a breath of fresh air into it, and it'll cost a fraction of building anew! All things are conspiring in your favor and you, your wife and your dog will enjoy it for as long as it serves you. Beautiful story!
Thanks for the information Casey. A very important lesson for us dreamers. Ask all the questions, and then some more. Get everything in writing, and all the legal papers. A very frustrating experience for you but turned out nice. The swimming dog is adorable. Cheers
The dog and wifey at the end was worth waiting for!
If they had shown you this land at 145k at the time you had 50k budget in the beginnning, you would have passed on it. It required you to go through the other bad experience to appreciate this one. Life is so crazy!
So the outcome is this: Better mingle with the locals at the cofee shops ask and wait!! Away from any kind of agency. I found out that this practise works much better. Instead of being told by a third party you find out your self what the land is all about and also you avoide the agency's commision cost. By the way Casey excellent free diving dive at the end.
@@ΤάσοςΚαυσοκαλυβίτηςtrue 😢
@@ΤάσοςΚαυσοκαλυβίτηςYou are clueless. There is no land at 2500 EUR/stremma in Pilio as you claim (with a sea view and close drive to the sea) and where you can get a legal building permit. You need to wake up and get a reality check.
Perhaps you are thinking of a forest area where you can do nothing or a land where you can only legally herd your goats.
@@mn7486 Sorry, but there are such plots. If you know the language you can find the ads for them online.
@@derhkist I know the language as I am Greek and I know the area. If you know such a cheap plot in Pilio which is close to the sea and you can build legally on it I will buy it. In reality perhaps you are thinking about something in the middle of the mountains in Kozani and with the ability to build in the typical Greek way (illegally).
@@mn7486 Οτι θα μπέρδευα την Κοζάνη με το Πήλιο, δεν περίμενα να το ακούσω. :) Είναι απλό αγαπητέ. Θα πας στο γνωστό Σπι-το-γα-το (το κοβω γιατι το YT σβήνει πολλές φορές λινκς και αναφορές σε αλλα μέρη), θα μπεις στο χάρτη για εκείνη την περιοχή και θα τα δεις. Όταν τσέκαρα χθες είχε τουλάχιστον 2. Καλές αγορές.
Very happy for. It was hard, difficult, and frustrating. But your tenacity paid off. You are living your dream life. Good for YOU!!!
Thank you, very informative and a lesson for everyone driven by their hearts to put their brains beside and behind the final decision.
this is the most informative video on european real estate I've see so far, thanks
18:59 "Maybe it wasn't true, but everything I wanted to hear, they've told me".... pure gold... 🤣
well done for achieving your dream!
Wow, great story! It was your destiny to find this property.
Very cool story! Didn't realize there some Italians that will pull the wool over your eyes that bad, i was planning on moving there. I guess one needs to be especially careful.
Interesting to see the dog in the life jacket, hes swimming with barely any effort.
I loved to hear how you got to this beautiful place with all the ups and downs. I do think you have paid a fair price but it is unbelievable how much difference in ground proces there are just one island away! Loved how you closed the video with beautiful footage of you and your family living the live you want!
Thank you very much for your videos, I lived in Volos for 20 years and I miss it a lot, everything is so beautiful, the mountains and the sea are a paradise. . unfortunately I left Greece due to unemployment and I am waiting for the situation to improve at some point to return to this beautiful place. . only the politicians are the ones who destroy the country otherwise everything is so beautiful❤
While surfing the internet several years back I asked myself is this for real a voice in my head said "if you can't touch it don't buy it" hmm.... I thought do it anyway and sure enough it was a mistake.
Thank you for your thorough research and informative video. Sorry about the uncalculated expenses during your travels, and yet you are now where you originally wanted to be, congratulations.
Congrats !!!! So happy for you.
What a story! Thanks for sharing and I look forward to follow your adventure in this beautiful place!
Thank you for all the details you gave in your story. It was amazing and educational for me. Enjoy your space beautiful space have a wonderful life.
As a Greek thank you for this video and welcome.
Fantastic! After all the searching you finally realize your dream. Congratulations.
Thank you for your video. Precious information.
enjoyed this video! found it good & inspirational! thank you and good luck!
You make my day 😂
What a journey you had and at the end you meet guy in forest 😅.
Beleive you loughing also.
Enjoy your dream and thanks for sharing.
Cheers from Norway 😊
I was worried for most of your video that you would get all your money taken and not find your dream home with land. Then at the end I was so happy for you that you succeeded. 👍🏼
It was mean't to be. So happy for you, wife and doggy. So lovely. God Bless.
That was a very interesting and informative video, especially for me as someone who used to live in Greece for a couple of years and is now considering purchasing a home, but struggling to choose between Greece and Italy. Thank you so much Casey! 😊
In Italy it can be very helpful to get a qualified 'Geometra' ( like a surveyor, but far more complex and the role of the Geometra is unique to Italy ).
Γεωμέτρης δηλαδή.
@@ChrysaPlati I don't know, if they are the same. The italian Geometra is a mix of a broker, architect, surveyor, building engineer .. and can help with all legal matters.
@@Manu-ih7zf I see!
Hi Italian citizen here, In Italy, before to sign contract for a land or a house check informations to the municipality surveyor called il géométra. or a private studio , generally the geometra knows the area and go with you ( the private ) to see the plot he can also take I deep information to the municipality. It's very complicated, but if you have time something is somewhere for you.
Thank you very much Casey for your honesty. Soon I will be doing the same as you 🙂
Your background is beautiful, it inspired me to look for properties in 🇬🇷
Congratulations Casey. What an ordeal you went through. In the end you have the best smile for living your dream. Keep going and make it happen. Thanks for sharing your journey. What a view!
Great story. Through the struggle you found you paradise,
enjoyed ur story more that i tought i would. thank u for sharing, gl
Unexpected pleasure to hear you recount your adventure. It looks like you have taken some freediving classes ;) Keep us updated!
Hi Casey this place is beautiful, I love it too. Thanks for the info. Enjoy every minute of it
Thank you for sharing your experience! Quite an interesting story. Glad everything worked out in the end!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
So it was meant to be in Greece, Casey. Welcome and make your dream come true. I don't know what other commentators are saying but the price is pretty good. If I was the seller I would have set the price in a Million half. Excellent location far from the crowds. Keep it secret and always look after the forest.
You truly earned and deserve that property! Many happy days in the future.
Greece long hot summer .good. netherland here
A dream come true! I am currently looking for some land in Montenegro, but it doesn´t have to be totally off-grid, but sparsely populated.
Always be careful with estate agents!! Never do anything without a lawyer especially if you dont know the country! Amazing story thought!
Wow geile Geschichte 🎉viel Glück mit dem Waldstück 😊
Which island did you buy on, I missed it watching the video.
You've gone through a lot, but obviously so worth it, as this is paradise. It seems struggles like yours are fairly normal, I watch some other channels similar to yours, and they speak of the crazy rules and regulations. All the matters now is that you are "home".❤
Brilliant video thank you
Greece is beautiful
Wow that is some journey you have been on to find your dream place. Amazing story that you happened to meet someone that made it happen. Can I ask are you able to build because your land is next to a road? Look forward to seeing your videos and progress. We have just done the same, bought a piece of land on a Greek island. Wishing you all the best.😊
Great story of your journey to the land Casey .😊
Your story is so tipical, congratulation of your nervs you have because to buy a land in South Europe is very hard and tricky. I hope your building permission and to build something there will not be creat you too much problems. To talk is easy but realize is something other. I wish you good luck
The area looks amazing!
Thanks for the briefing 👍🏻
I'm a Scottish guy living on Rhodes, and essentially I want to do the same thing off grid. I was told that as long as your land is out of any plan, and as long as you don't have any permanent fixings (basically concrete), then you could put a caravan on your land and love off grid legally. Are you saying they changed that law?
Who knew everything that you went through to get the land of your dreams. Living by the sea is my dream, too. The Aegean Islands are in my genetics report, so it's in my blood, literally.
thank you, Great story.
what a lovely dog.... so cute ❤
What an interesting story
I really like the way you explained.
Love from india
Carpe diem! Just do it. You did it. Kudos to you . I can only dream now at 73yo. 😍🤩
Thank you for sharing your experience, what I didn't understand, is the land you have now the original one with the price increase and other permit problems from the first seller, or another on the same island.
Welcome to Greece ❤ make your dream come true..
So beautiful!! Maybe I'll move next door!!
I feel the same. The state stops you from anything you try to have for a good little life. You buy land if you find gor a good price.. and then you can't do whatever with that land.. always things blocking your dreams
It's beautiful, amazing place. Be ready for wildfires, it's very timbered there, isolated and far from help. We Australians are bushfire wary.😊
Yeah, don't know about other places, but never sign a contract here in Italy without seeing the papers and contacting a surveyor to verify them, also the agency can make you put a downpayment, but for buying you need indeed a notary and believe me they tell u every needy greedy detail before you buy, because they can end up losing their licence/end up in jail if they lie.
One thing tho, it's not true tho that you can't cut trees in Italy, you're allowed to cut down without any permission trees that have a trunk diameter inferior to 80cm at 1mt high I think (might be 1.5mt, can't recall), and for the others u need a permission from the Comune, which costs 14 euros, they may ask you the reason (and you've always the right to do so if the tree is sick, or a danger for people/buildings).
Also mobile homes are allowed on agricultural lands, for normal houses you indeed need to be a farmer (with an open and active business) for at least 3 years, there's also a quota of land you can build even if you're a farmer and it depends from region to region.
All this being said, I'm glad you found a place you like in a location you know and love. 😀
NEVER EVER embark upon a serious search for property in Italy w/out a BUYING agent, which tend to be foreign agents who cater to the needs of non-Italians because Italian realtors are selling agents who's loyalty lies w/the seller -- follow the money as they say. A selling agent will protect you from scams, costly mistakes and hassles.
Thanks for the info man 👍 Love the place 🙌If you ever need a handyman... Lemme know 🤪 German painter talking 👋 Be well and all the best ✌
Thank you for sharing. It is a shame that we allow such people to exist in society and manipulate honest and hardworking individuals such as you and your wife.
Imagine that these people do this as a full time job, and they will continue to do it because it works. They probably sell properties like this to unsuspecting people all the time. full time
thank you very much! They put the forest this week again online and waiting like a spider in the spider web...for another happy and naiv couple
Ja was soll man dazu sagen, ich find es richtig was du gemacht hast. Wünsche dir jedenfalls nur das beste, und jetzt auf in die Dolomiten. Lg aus Thüringen
Vielen lieben Dank Frank! Was hier in Europa los ist unglaublich! Italien nur noch als Tourist. Dolomiten steht aufm Plan. Ich hab neuen "Geheim Spot" nähe St Martin am Withmundsbach entdeckt...der ist einer der besten Spots der Welt..kanns kaum abwarten da hinzukommen. Viele Grüße vom Pilion
@@caseybachmeyer sag bescheid bin dabei. Grüße Frank
we are talking about Greece, can't you wait to find land to buy in paradise so easily, only 2 years? you are very lucky!
What a Journey..but now at least you have your peace.
Danke für die Geschichte :)
I wonder if you could train your dog to use flippers. Of course they'd have to be designed and made Canine suitable. 😊 But with 3 D printing that shouldn't be a problem.
After getting my dna done, I find I have Aegean heritage
Thankfully, I knew the happy ending from the start of the video. Otherwise, the story would be too stressful for me!😰 There are one or two lessons for future buyers. though. research, research, research before buying.
Hi Casey. I'm spending time in the Tsagarada area of Pelion.
Do you need any kind of help?
Your dog has a life vest!
Can you spell out the names of the islands and cities mentioned in the video so we can find them on a map? Greatly appreciated.
Hello, thanks for the comment! Yes, i forgot. The island calls Skiathos. The place i live is called Pilion. Next big city is Volos
@@caseybachmeyer Thanks! Helps a bunch! It looks absolutely beautiful! So happy you found it!
Living my dream❣️
Beautiful place. Is there anywhere around there i can buy 1 acre to build a cabin?
why can you build now? is it on the road?
Psst ... rule number 1 in the salesman's manual: Tell your customer what he wants to hear (it doesn't have to be true, just suck him in).
Where exactly is this place mate in Greece ? Very nice video..
He said it in the video. One hour away from a town called "Argalasti". Find it on Google maps and then head over to the beach-side that looks at Skiathos. He really went to live with the goats and bears, for sure.
@@derhkist Thanks for the answer mate.
@@Justice_CR4 Its south Pilion...Or South Pelion, near Katigiorgis
Wow, wo ist das ?
Hi Mr German, the greek real estate agent raised the price??? not good!!!,,, you like the earth&sea of Greece???
How does one prove they are a farmer? Asking for a friend.
Verrückte Obsession. Wäre doch viel billiger gewesen...
Mr German,,, i live in Australia, and i wanted to buy a house in regional australia,,,red desert,,, he asked (aussie crook real estate agent) $85,000 AUD ??? total crap!!! ;))
Very interesting video. I've found that real estate brokers are the least trustworthy of all 'professionals', as your video proves.They are laser-focused on making a sale and getting their commission. They couldnt care less who gets screwed. It's true in America and probably worse in less rich areas such as Italy and Greece.
But you had a very pleasant attitude about these underhanded tactics. You were also very funny.
In your other videos, you talk very little. I think that's a mistake. The long stretches of video where you just spread gravel or loll in a small pool without any narration, seem a little vain and narcissistic, if I may say so.
Anyway, best of luck on your venture.
Thanks a lot for the comment and the really helpful constructive criticism! And you are right i guess, especially with the pool scene😃
it's a pity greeks have to sell out their land to survive , but it is what it is one day we will be free
Στο Καστρί βρίσκεσαι...;;
Looks like people are fraunds everywhere.
The real estate people seem to think their customers are dumb, huh ? Thank god for google and google maps 😊
