Cool idea for a house i would copy elements from. But all the glass windows are not tinted I am afraid it heats up the house extremely... Am I right about it or is this not a problem to consider?
Amazing home and so much thought put into it. Anyone who criticizes this must be from US, it’s an infection. Great to see you Alex. You’re temperament is wonderful
Wow.. beautiful house…. I retired and built my house in a province in Luzon… We made our own 5 inch hollow blocks by hand… We made them 50/50 cement to sand… very strong… Hollow blocks that are sold by others usually only use 20% or 30% cement… not good..
Good luck to him..the problem lies with the addressable market. Selling high end houses unless it’s in high net worth area will be problematic. It’s pretty simple, look at the surrounding properties..price ..how many sold ..how long etc.
I can see how that place is going to be hard to sell. Quality materials and work. You didn't mention how much electricity it uses, but I can imagine, with all that glass and lots of air cons, it's going to cost a fortune in electricity. Definitely needs solar.
I'm an expat 72 years old living in Dumaguete I'm looking for a nice young lady to marry and I want to build a house for her my budget is 27 million pesos, I'm very interested in getting married.
Nice to see this gentlemen again.🤟🏾🫶🏻 My Filipina friend told me he was on television regarding the mansion. Hope your baby and wife are well.🙏🏾 Hello to your dad in Russia.🥰🇬🇧
How could these old timers believe its a good investment to build such an extraordinary customized home in the Philippines. At his age i cant even believe he would build this type of house. Gorgeous house that will be very difficult to sell. i wonder if this house ever sold and for how much. Try to give an update on prices when it sells. Thanks
Maganda sana mga malalaking glass window kc maaliwalas kaso nasa pinas tau need halos lahat ng bintana naka grills nakakapangit ng design kung d namn yun eh mataaas na bakod lagpas 6feet halos wala na presko hangin
Wow, that is a beautiful place! But man, if you don’t have it sold before you build it or know that it will sell you’re doing nothing but losing money. I can’t imagine building a place like that in the Philippines. Unless the price was so inflated, he could knock it down 20% percent. Not having that many more years left to live, I could think of better things to do than building houses . But I guess it’s to each their own . 👍
The hollow blocks really don't support anything. The columns and beams are supposed to do all of the support. The walls could be bamboo and nipa. 19.5 million is a good price. He may want to raise it, because the right buyer would pay more for it.
Great video Alex , thx a lot I love the floor layout with internal "courtyard" swimming pool. Is the skylight a reflective tinted glass? Are the attic spaces naturally vented at peak points of the roofs?
Good morning Alex, We could be interested in your property Two Questions 1) What is the total acreage 2) How far to Duma airport? Looking forward to discussing this further with you,
Good morning, Adrian. The lot area is 0.183 acre or 740 sqm. The distance to the airport is 5.2 km (3.231 miles). You can also contact me by email flurfy.sharfik@gmail.com
great price, not sure about area, but construction is superb. If I liked the area, id buy it sight unseen. I own 1 house I built in Angeles city and and luxury condo I short term it to tourists that's printing $$. - just context as I know a bit.
The area is pretty safe. Foreigners just take more precautions. My house is ten times bigger but a gated community. Mostly foreign own. Security guards on site. Again, just just foreigners taking precautions. Ignore comments about the barb wires.
That is another Kano Kastle. Already dropped the price 20%..... Building these luxury structures and then trying to sell them is a losing proposition. Build comfortable but reasonable. Once these old guys kick off there's no way the family can maintain these properties. And it's very difficult to sell them.
He mentioned 6 inches of insulation in the ceiling , wonder how much insulation are those glass walls. Did you notice any cross ventilation ? I didn’t notice if the bathrooms have windows
The man seems to have a lot of money but is very broke on common sense. You're in a third world country. You're building houses that should be in Malibu. You've got a wall around the house that you're locked in to a federal Penitentiary who wants to live in that environment.You're a target because you look so rich Enjoy the rest of your life for what you have left. Don't keep chasing the dollar ❤
Your words makes you stupid. How dare any of you tell anyone how to dream. Complaint to your governments about why they spend so much on space and wars. You all say this man is greedy then turn around and ask why he don't invest in richer countries. So who is broke. The ones complaining.
Lol, we mentioned the country, city, and even the specific part of the city at the beginning of the video. Plus, the word "Philippines" is on the thumbnail, the flag of the Philippines is in the logo, and my profile picture. Also, the location is listed under the video in the appropriate placeholder. I simply don't know where else I should put the location.
Well like the house if I had the money plus I'm an American I can own property in the Philippines. If I had a Filipina wife I would transfer the house to the children's and name. Really like the house. The be scared of kids in the swimming pool and the toddler's
@@Alex_Kosh stop fluffing up bs. theres no beach, just water, hes in the dead centre of Dumaguete but shows a bali or western mansion? get a new video series as you have no clue what your pushing
That home is gorgeous, I love Balinese homes, it’s a peaceful and meditative environment. Not totally sold on retiring in the PH. Too freaking noisy for my taste.
Why he keeps building houses at this age. These kind of houses fits better in rich country. He need to enjoy his life doing charity for the needy. That is greed building all these lavish jouses just to resell.
WHY ARE YOU TELLING HIM NOT TO DO. LET HIM ENJOY HIS LIFE. YOU ARE NOT THE ONE PAYING FOR IT ANYWAY. BE QUITE AND SHUT UP BECAUSE NOBODY TELL YOU WHAT TO DO.
He really builds quality !
Unfortunately, most buyers don't appreciate it or are willing to pay for it.
I agree with you. Maybe he'll find the right one through this video

Hey, Alex. Its really unique property. The swimming pool is great ;)
Thanks Alex, yeah you feel inside and outside at the same time :)

Airbnb, $300/night is for the whole house ? House price is reasonable at $19.5 M . It’s customized and for specific taste and reflects his taste.
Yes the price is for the whole house
I can imagine why buyers not line up. For me it looks all a bit cold and awkward, some kind of factory atmosphere 😅.

Why build a house like that in the middle of a favella? That spiraled razor wire is very telling.
Great house and tour, it would be great if you could post the Architect's name?
Hi Alex, our new place in Dauin will also be Balinese.
Hi Ray, sounds cool. Let me know if you want to make a video about it
That is another Kano Kastle.
Already dropped the price 20%.....

Nice house but I would have had bathtubs, especially in the master bedroom

Thank you, Jack, we're doing good and Trixie is growing so fast! I hope you are doing well too😉
did this fine house ever sell?
Is the house sold yet?
The house is available. If you are interested in buying you can send an email to flurfy.sharfik@gmail.com
I hope this very nice man is having his forehead checked for skin cancer regularly. It worries me.
Built to last and high quality materials that will stand the test of time, but will he be able to sell it to his target audience?
However long it takes to sell, I'm sure the house will stand :)
He mentioned 6 inches of insulation in the ceiling , wonder how much insulation are those glass walls. Did you notice any cross ventilation ? I didn’t notice if the bathrooms have windows
The ceiling keeps the heat outside, and with the glass doors closed, the AC works well. There are exhaust fans in the bathrooms.
people wont pay is right, its feel the width never mind the quality in simple term.
Did the Swedish guy sell that big house with tennis court and shooting alley?
Yes in two months after posting the video

Hi Lily, thank you for watching 😊
When he said congressman I thought he said scammer.
First of all it would be nice to know where exactly you are.
ie. Country, city/town etc

You say, "really nice area". But also mention the razor wire all the time. No thanks. There are better ways.
I understand your point, but many different people are interested in a good area with nice neighbors, and they do not always have good intentions

19.5
I'll offer him 5 million pesos not a penny more, why build a beautiful hosue and already selling it.

It's his cheapest house, we recorded his main 220 million house in a previous video on my channel
@@totiriel6079 where have I said not to do? Seems you are a retard go and learn more
Because some islands have no culture, so import some from Bali or Phuket.

Feels like I'm in Sing Sing prison.
Maybe you will be interested in watching video about this house th-cam.com/video/EO_3hKEYs60/w-d-xo.html
what a stupid titel to promote a house
Thank you for your feedback
I bet you the wifes filipina family was also building a house at the same time lol
No they built 220 million house earlier than this one. You can watch it in the previous video
