For estate agents I am contacting for the 1st time – this is what I want to BUY
Near Florianopolis please
My standard reply to what we are looking for, hope this helps
Hi Real Estate Agents
We are looking for land with house/s, the house does not need to be perfect or even finished but it does need to have potential and we would like more buildings on the land and a pool or space for a pool. We don't mind spending time and money working to improve the place and do the refurbishment of the property and we would be happy with 4 hectares- 100 hectares and any properties in between. We are not looking for small!
We are looking for a complete lifestyle change we can afford to live comfortably without working but my husband has always been involved in agriculture and
The building trade as his profession and he wants to 'potter' so he does not get bored.
I need somewhere to paint so lots of windows; we would like verandas, balconies,
decking or areas where we could build them. We need at least 2 bedrooms in a
Main house and a guesthouse or 4 bedrooms we would like 2/3 bathrooms
and an area of living space/buildings of at least 2500ft we do need plenty of green
grass and foliage, water of some description (lake, stream, river etc.), mature
gardens fruit trees etc. ideally more of a 'hobby farm' as the American say.
We want at least to be able to keep 2 horses, 2 cows, 2 sheep, 2 pigs, some birds, chickens and hens, donkey, and various pets and extra space for breeding, please.
As for area, state or even country not bothered, we need the property to be about 10-20 mins from the nearest town or village i.e. shops, doctor bank, school (Brazilian is ok), bars restaurants but can be basic town, a beach, lots of landscapes and water with a small /large town/city about 1 hour away, some expats near by (not too many!!!) and airport no more then 3 hours away and ideally for about £100,000.00 - £175000.00
We do intend to live here full time.
(But we are also looking for an investment apartment probably near a big city [good shopping and culture and rental] although not till we have settled where we are going to live, but the more money left from the farm project the better we have about £ 250000.00to buy the 2 properties)
Time scale
We have just sold our business in the UK and that should all be sorted by July.
Hope this helps real estate agents realise what we are looking for. We are flexible and will comprise on the buildings and houses because we can always improve and extend, but the natural beauty of the land we cannot comprise. We are willing to look at any properties even small hotels, old colonial houses that are nearly falling down that we could repair to former glory, anything as long as it is set on beautiful, fertile land with water.
Regards and many thanks
