Let me help you find a piece of land on Samal Island!
Hi, I’m Feyma Martin! You probably already know me if you follow the Live in the Philippines
Are you looking for a dream location where you can retire
In 2007, Bob & I bought a piece of land on Samal Island, in the Gulf of Davao. We plan to build our dream home there, and that is where we will retire one of these days. Why Samal? Well, there are a a lot of reasons why we chose Samal for our next (and last) home base. First, it’s a quiet, peaceful place. No wild parties going on, no traffic rush to deal with - it’s just a quiet place where we can relax, be one with nature, and enjoy a gorgeous view of Davao City
During my search for a nice home site in Samal, I got to know a number of land owners on the Island. With my connections, I can assist you in finding a spot on the Island that you can call your own! Whether you want Beach front property, or a View site, I have the connections to help you find the spot that is just right for you!
Let’s face it, if you are going to move to a dream site like Samal, you are most likely looking for either a place right on the beach, or a view. Bob & I chose a place with a great view! We have a full view of Davao City, the Gulf of Davao and Mt. Apo (the highest mountain in the Philippines!). If you want view property, the sights are spectacular from Samal! I even know one place where you can see all the way down to Mt. Matutum (about 200 Km away) from Samal! And, looking down to Mt. Matutum, in that one view you can see two mountains (Mt. Apo and Mt. Matutum), Davao City, and the Gulf of Davao! It doesn’t get much better that that! You know what? You can get view property on Samal Island for a very low price too! Write to me, and I can give you some examples of what kind of prices are available! If you want to see some views of Samal Properties that I have sold or are available, check here.
If you are looking for beach front property, it is still readily available on Samal Island too! The beaches along Samal are still pristine, clean and beautiful! If you are a diver, Samal will be a dream location for you to live! Coral Reefs abound, and there is so much sea life in the waters around Samal. You will never tire of diving Samal, and you’ll never run out of new things to see. There are also so many other types of water sports being done in Samal! The beach can mean different adventures for each of us, but whether you are a diver, a swimmer, a fisherman or a jet skier, you won’t be bored on Samal. Even if you just want to sit on the beach and take in nature, Samal is the perfect place for you!
Come and join us on Samal! If you want to buy hilltop view property maybe you can be our neighbor! Let me help you find a piece of land on Samal Island! I know the place, I know the right people to contact! It won’t cost you anything to have me help you, because any charges would be paid by the land owner, not you. I promise you that I will give my best effort to make sure you find a spot that is your very own paradise! I know that Bob & I found our own personal paradise on Samal Island! You can too, and I’ll help you do it! Get started by e-mailing me and letting me know what you are looking for!

# 5 Feyma said:
Hi James Wilkinson- Sure I understand what you mean. That’s what me and Bob did, we didn’t really intend to buy but when the we saw the land and we like it and the price was right we grab it.

# 9 MarcelinaWW said:
Hello again Feyma!
Now that I have an earful of information about acquiring a piece of property in Davao, I would be interested on your list of prices as well, for Samal Island. Are there houses or a resort built in the island now?
I may actually have to come and visit sometime early next year to see if retiring in the Phil is truly what we want. My husband and I live here in Dana Point, Ca. right now.
Thank you to you and Bob for having these information be available to Filipinos, like myself, who have been away for over 3 decades.

Hi there. I wonder if you could be kind enough to give me some idea of land prices on Samal island. We might like to consider investing now to build our dream home in a few years time. I am from Magsaysay near Bansalan, but currently living and working in the UK.
Thanks,
Vangie

I saw your beautiful pictures of Samal! I’m originally from Davao but currently residing in Missouri with my husband who is native of St. Louis, Missouri. I would greatly appreciate if you could send me the price quotes for a piece of residential land with a view just like what you bought. Financing information if available would also be very helpful. Thanks for all you and Bob do to keep us informed about our beloved Davao!

# 33 Vicky in Missouri said:
Hi Feyma,
Thank you so much for your email! I greatly appreciate it! You’re right the prices of land there are still very affordable. I particularly like the land up the hill so I could grow vegetables and flowers.
I was in Davao in August 2007 unfortunately I just found your website recently. I go home to Davao every other year so my next schedule to visit is in Dec 2009. I would surely look you up and I really do hope I could meet you guys in person. I’m a big fan of your websites!
Again, thanks a lot! Kudos to you and Bob!

# 46 Teng S. said:
Hi Feyma,
I’m a regular visitor/reader and sometimes give my own views in some articles you guys posted here.
I have already a plan to retire after 16 years of beng OFW. I’m due to go back home early next year and I’m wishing to find a beach front property near a semi-developed or developed area around Samal Island. Specifically, a property where I can build my residence at the back and at the same time I would like to operate a beach bar/cafe/restaurant at the front. It would be highly appreciated if you could inform me when you find a place for sale like this. I have my trustee living in Davao (my sister) and she is a teacher in Sta. Ana. I’ll give her contact details once I receive your feedback. Or I’ll provide her your contact details to contact you. You may also email me at my yahoo account: teng_ojaba@yahoo.com
I’m originally from Kidapawan City and your family name ‘Bayoy’ is quite familiar to me in our area.
I thank you in advance and hope to hear from you later.
# 47 Feyma said:
Hi Teng - I saw your comment on some of the columns.
Don’t worry I will let the owner contact your sister before classes starts.
I will email you more privately.
Thank you for dropping by!
