Description
This 1-hectare (10,000 sqm) property offers wide ocean views and sits directly across from Tulang Diot Island. The cliff is
about 4–5 meters high and 26 meters wide, with the land mostly flat and a rocky section near the edge. Mango trees and mahogany trees add shade and a tropical touch to the property. One of its most charming
features is the turtles swimming in the clear waters below—you can watch them from above, or enjoy activities like paddling across to Tulang Diot Island, snorkeling, diving, or simply swimming.
The lot is along the main road, with electricity and water lines close by, making development easier. Its
location is very convenient, being near Sonog Port, schools, big stores, and several resorts. Whether you’re looking for a private home or a future resort project, this property offers both beauty and accessibility.

Next steps for moving to Philippines
Interested in this property? Here's how to move forward.
Understand the buying rules
Foreign ownership laws vary wildly by country. Some welcome you, others restrict or ban foreign buyers entirely.
Sort out your visa
Owning property doesn't give you the right to live there. Research residency options before you buy.
Plan your finances
Understand currency risk, international wire transfers, and whether you can get a local mortgage.
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.
Set up healthcare
Medicare doesn't cover you overseas. You'll need international health insurance or a local plan.
Run the full checklist
Banking, mail forwarding, power of attorney, pet import rules — the complete pre-move checklist.
