This house is located in a quiet subdivision surrounded by forest. A cement wall bounds one side of a large 1,300 sq. meter lot. (14,000 square feet) house and outhouse together measure about 307 square meters (3,300 square feet) of living space. The concrete house bounds another side and a bamboo fence surrounds two sides.
The subdivision owner lives on the property. Only 3 others have built in this exclusive neighborhood as yet, one large house and property is about 50' from our house. It's owned by a Wales dentist and Filipina wife, but is taken care of by a relative. Their house has a swimming pool that is often used by neighbors and friends.
Our lot has mahogany and other trees. The lot is surrounded by banana trees.
A large outbuilding for maid is located at the end of our lot with private bedroom and bath, and a storage room alongside.
Our house is all-electric -- two 37.5 KVA transformers, refrigerator with water/ice dispenser, electric/gas stove, dishwasher, centralized air conditioning, food disposal, and ceiling fans.
There's an automatic iron gate, motion sensing lights, and many outside lights around the property. There's several external water faucets.
Much of the wood inside the house is Nara or Ipil, both reclaimed from used wood as these trees are now restricted for new buildings.
It has a large kitchen cabinet and counter space. Clean city water, beds, and kitchen table.
Outside large septic tank with 28 meters (90 feet) of field lines for sewage and another separate 40 meters (131 feet) of drain pipe for gray water (wash water + roof rain water). Unlike most Philippine houses the 1,300 square meter lot was properly perc tested for proper dimensions of leach lines and the large septic tank was placed outside of the house. It probably won't need attention for 20 years.
The house is mainly concrete with an all metal roof.
The three bedrooms and three bathrooms all have solid, expensive wood doors and each bath has a tub with shower and independent water heater, wash basin and toilet stool surrounded by colorful ceramic tile.
If desired a 1999 Toyota van can go with the house for an additional 400,000 pesos. Otherwise inexpensive transportation is close by from tricycles.
Although the city of Puerto Princesa is a huge area (many kilometers), the shopping district proper is about 16 kilometers distant, which provides for welcome privacy as well as huge reduction in city noise. In fact, it's country living, it's so quiet.
A large washer and dryer is located in an annexed an outshelter.
Our house is definitely for foreigners who enjoy modernity with peace and quiet.
The city of Puerto Princesa is a rapidly growing tourist community with one of its prime attractions a UN award winning underground river, as well as other Philippine attractions.
