Brother, the ONLY place I could live in the Philippines is Baguio City in the northern Philippines. The heat and humidity are SO OPPRESSIVE there! All you want to do is sit in front of an A/C all day and keep cool! It simply destroys my health! If it were not for the heat and humidity, I'd move there with my wife in a heartbeat! My wife is from Cebu City and even she has a very difficult time with the heat and humidity after coming to the US and living in beautiful AZ! We have warm weather, but it's a dry heat!
Thanks for rge tour. It made me miss being in the Philippines. I'll be retiring there and still be working as soon as they open up traveling again. God blees the wonderful people of the Philippines.
Exactly!! Man, I wish I had realized sooner how much cheaper it is to live there. I would have prioritized things in my life MUCH differently. Better late than never!🤷🏼♂️ And Filipinas...Wow! Put American women to shame in nearly every single way!!

Private homes in the Philippines seldom have insulation. If available it is usually expensive. Insulation is suggested not to keep cold out but to ease the heat from creeping in. One house we stayed has metal roof, ample room for the attic but gets to 90's by 9:00AM, needed attic ventilation. I had a smalll house built and to cut down A/C bills, I had insulation between walls with RICE HULLS!!! I had to mix it with 10% Borax by weight. This assures me being fire retardant and insect(Roach and ants) repellent.
That is the cutest house. What a lucky family. In New York State home ownership, where starts at 350,000. I would love this exact house, its the cutest thing, 23,000 for an entire house is mind blowing.
Possible additions: Rain collection and deep well with filter for water collection, solar panels exhaust for hybrid connection, exhaust for inside kitchen and gate surrounding property.
$23,000? Wow, what a gorgeous house 🏠!! It boggles my mind what one can purchase around the world 🌎 in comparison to the living expense here in America!
Nice place, price sounds about right, I Built a 3 bedroom, 2 Bathroom rancher, cost about PHP 3 million including the Hollow Block wall around the house. We used local builders and had no issues with the build, and we're still deciding what color of paint for the walls, trying to find a place that mixes paint to get the color we want.
Very similar (although modernly) updated to the house of the parents of my then Panamanian girlfriend. 30 years ago. I like this place and I'm happy to see people being blessed.
Seems pretty nice but I'm confused that the bedroom is up in a loft, considering that heat rises and that ceiling is going to channel all the heat up, and the AC will fill the bottom of the house, further driving the heat up. I didn't see any ventilation up there either. I guess if you're used to sleeping in 90 degree heat, but that's not for me.
It's my intention to do central air in a build, a true 2 story build with ceiling fans in each room, and since the kitchen, dining room and living room are all one great room there will be three fans to take care of that. It would have an intake above the TV/entertainment system, which is also close to where the AC unit will be, and I'll probably have to deal with an intake on the 2nd floor to remove heat, so probably a common room which would only have an intake and a fan while each bedroom has a fan and vent for the AC. Or, I could do an exhaust vent on the 2nd floor instead of recircing that heat. That should deal with the removal of heat well enough. But, the central air is only for day time as it will run off of solar panels. After the sun sets then we only have the ceiling fans. I assume what they'll have to do in that house is use regular fans in the loft, or they could mount a ceiling fan close to the bed to move air over it, but since hot air rises you'd have to create a bit of circulation to ensure that air gets cooled. They could have an exhaust up in the ceiling on one side of that great room and you'd try to create an air circ pattern where the cool air moves up towards the loft while warming and then moves across to the other side where the exhaust is. But yeah, high ceilings are used in the PH specifically for providing space for the warm air that rises. I wouldn't want to put a bed in it. Our bedroom is of course on the 1st floor for ease and that's the coolest part of the house. Since we're out in the barrio and have more trees around, that should be good enough. MAYBE if we find that isn't enough in the hottest part of the summer we could install a window unit in master bedroom no. 1 for night time. It's not a cheap build, but I've seen homes out there that look like 5000 - 6000 sq. ft homes so we won't stand out, as we're close to a town there. I haven't calculated it out but I don't think it's more than 3500 sq. ft, not including the garage that's attached.
Very nicely done. I like the simple design. High ceilings will keep the house cool. Looks very spacious inside. All it needs now is that luck of paint. Great job.
I live in Virginia and it takes a while to get accustomed to block houses. At first they look like unfinished basements, but they are inexpensive. Painting helps, as well as, showing a lot of wood. Ceramic floors make it cooler. Air conditioning and shade make 100 degrees easier to handle. Florida block houses aren't pretty either. Sand, wind and water take time to adjust to.
When I move over there permanently I will be building my own house. Realize, just like in the US, the price is three times as much if a contractor builds it. So the house that would cost $60,000, would actually cost less than what he has in his current structure.
Which part of the Philippines are you gonna to moved to? If you want the same size house like here in the states. If you want to lived a few hours drive from manilla there's a few lots that for sale in Lipa City Batangas and it's in a gated community plus there's two former model homes that are for sale. I got that info from a TH-cam vlogger called my pi dream the vlogger named is James Tanner maybe you could contact him. When you plan and your spouse will moved to the Philippines.
We've got a nice spread in Calatrava, Romblon....on Tablas...Two story, four bedroom i think? right Around the corner from Lapus Lapus....a totally cool get away.....It's amazing what one can do with a little bit of money in the PI....!! very cool my friend...
Blessed him not to have issues with the builder. Most builders are crooked especially dealing with foreigners. Very nice home, thanks for sharing. Take care.
I would choose a sico floor paint polyuratane acylic interior good for cement or patios . Durable /washable. Mix a terricotta color darker shade. Paint base 3. And another Thats just white base 1 . you can adjust to your favorite shade. Awsome space
My husband and I bought a hectare of land, planted with lanzones, coconut trees( not as many), and durian. We bought it for 1.6 M pesos. It is located in a agricultural area but only 2 km away from the town and the barangay road is just right in front of the property. It also came with a small house, not so nice but still livable. Good luck to us investing in the Philippines. 😊
Just so you know you can wire your house to american standard just tell the utility company that you want single phase three wire system that way it will be a lot safer im a Pilipino and went through local IBEW in the state and i wired my entire house in the Philippines the USA standard.
It's a very nice house indeed. After skim coat inside I would paint all walls white. I can see bright yellow, green and orange color houses in Puerto Princesa.
Watch out, girlfriend or not. You may have many, many problems-Read my comments made on June 13, 2021, by Michael Thomas. Your GF may want and want more>
Thanks for sharing the beatiful home tour Ned. I love Mahagony door!! Your family is looking great and your daughter is looking more like a princess every day. If you decide to stay there and get some land, I hope that you will do this too. I'm always wishing the best for all of you. I'm still debating if I should get my SRRV before they jack the price up! Keep on keeping on!
In 1938, a guy named Higgins bought all the mahogany , wholesale, from the Philippines, he started building small boats and yachts. When the winds of war started blowing he switched to landing crafts, the rest is history.
Well for them I guess good for them. Little high I think. For out completely aircon fully hot water up down 2 cr I only have like 1.26mil. In it And I used marble and granite.
In this remote region I could see why this costed so much to build in comparison to other regions unless this includes the lot purchase, transfer taxes, building permit (if one was obtained) etc. We were just quoted 2.5m to have our custom home built for us and is two story and nearly 140 sq meters with a balcony but thats not including the lot, transfer taxes, or fees associated with getting permitted.
Thanks for the info! I think the vaulted ceiling is key for the weather in Negros. I was born in the Occidental side and thinking of doing renovation there so the cost info is very informative. Thank you!
It doesn't get hot in Philippines even in 90 degrees because there is always a cool tropical breeze. The hollow block wall will keep the heat down compared to wood. The tall ceiling and open hall will circulate the air cooler. The less opening from the outside will keep the heat out.
For the majority of us who have no clue, 45 square meters is apx 484 sq ft, about the size of a larger 2-car garage in the US. 60 sq mt is about 646 sq ft. Normal for PH, including condos.
i just built an unconventional home in the philippines- the kitchen is independent of the house with a nipa hut next to it for outdoor cooking- the house is basically a big one bedroom with half a loft and half open space- the bathroom is almost identical- cost was around $7,000- the property is covered with a garden that supplies most of our food- no nightmares and all the work was hired out- not for everybody but worked for us-
That is a real life with peace and tranquility. Mam o man your place is like heaven! Amen to that

The philippines is either 1960s america (price wise) or 1990s america (again, price wise)
Mine was a bit more...as it's quite large and near a city-center, but it's got a similar open floor plan/industrial style. Nicely done!

The only thing I would add is roof guards so that the roof doesn't peel during strong typhoon winds. Look's great though!
