Description

What if every day at home felt like a vacation?

Most families spend thousands every year on movie nights out, gym memberships, resort weekends, and family gatherings at rented venues. This home eliminates all of that, because everything you love doing is already inside your own walls.

Tucked in the serene and secured Brookfield Subdivision along Sudtunggan Road, Basak, Lapu-Lapu City, this 5-bedroom, 4-bathroom masterpiece isn't just a house. It's the lifestyle upgrade your family deserves.

Imagine your weekends like this:

Your kids are splashing in your own private pool while you unwind on the overlooking terrace with a cold drink and a coastal breeze. Later, the whole family gathers in your personal theatre room for movie night, no crowds, no traffic, no tickets.

And when Monday comes, you skip the gym commute and head straight to your in-home gym before breakfast.

This is not a dream. This is Tuesday.

What You're Getting:

✔5 Spacious Bedrooms — room for the whole family and then some

✔4 Bathrooms

✔Private Swimming Pool — your personal resort

✔State-of-the-Art Theatre Room — cinematic experience at home

✔In-Home Gym Space — fitness on your schedule

✔Stylish Bar — perfect for hosting family and friends

Next steps for moving to Philippines

Interested in this property? Here's how to move forward.

1

Understand the buying rules

Foreign ownership laws vary wildly by country. Some welcome you, others restrict or ban foreign buyers entirely.

2

Sort out your visa

Owning property doesn't give you the right to live there. Research residency options before you buy.

3

Plan your finances

Understand currency risk, international wire transfers, and whether you can get a local mortgage.

4

Know your tax obligations

US citizens are taxed on worldwide income. You'll need to file US taxes from abroad and may owe local taxes too.

5

Set up healthcare

Medicare doesn't cover you overseas. You'll need international health insurance or a local plan.

6

Run the full checklist

Banking, mail forwarding, power of attorney, pet import rules — the complete pre-move checklist.
