Feel lucky and happy.

Not far from the rancho where the Gonzales family live and farm a man from Silicone Valley has built a huge house.

It’s right on the beach in between a dry riverbed called Arroyo Brazil and a gigantic sand dune.



It has taken years to build this house.
Craftsman from mainland Mexico and the best materials were brought in to make it one of the most beautiful houses in this area.

The man from Silicone Valley had the house designed to his taste and to his family situation.
When it was ready, he decided to sell it.
It is on the market now for 12.700.000 $.
That is 12 million and 700 hundred thousand Dollars.
Plus costs.



In order to be of excellent service again to the fervent and loyal blog readers, this house, called Villa Las Dunas, was visited yesterday to photograph it for publication on this blog.
Therefore, sit back, relax and enjoy the images of Villa Las Dunas.















Many fervent and loyal blog readers may be impressed by this house.
And feel depressed it is something they will never been able to neither purchase nor live in.
Let alone visit it.
This is a very wrong response.
The correct reaction should be that we must be all feel very happy and lucky not to own this house.
Consider this:

• The house has no water supply. Water needs to be bought and trucked in. And a lot of water is needed. There are 3 swimming pools, a Jacuzzi, two fountains and 3 bathrooms. And all the palm trees and plants surrounding the house need irrigation.
• The house has no electricity. Electricity is coming from a big diesel generator needing fuel and maintenance.
• The house has only three bedrooms. A huge master bedroom with a view of the sea and two small bedrooms with a poor view of the mountains.
• The house is not hurricane proof. Each year, when the hurricanes come, all windows and glass doors need to be covered with wooden panels.
• Of the space inside the house, much is taken by the impressive stairway. Useless space except for intimidation.
• The house is in an area to be reached by a bad dirt road only. In case of emergency, like a medical issue, it will take hours to reach help. And in the hurricane season this area is sometimes completely closed off by washed away roads for days and days.
• The beach in front of the house and the dry riverbed are public. Anybody has the right to come and stay there. Like last winter. Next to the 12 million and 700 hundred thousand Dollars Villa Las Dunas was a Mexican family from Tecate in a trailer enjoying themselves camping there for weeks. Mexican fishermen come to launch their boats and like last year, slaughter the sharks there leaving the carcasses on the beach.
• Close by is this huge sand dune. Exactly where all Winter strong winds blow from. Carrying the sand straight on and into the house. Better cover the swimming pools and dust the porcelain daily.
• Do not invite your physically challenged family and friends. The house has all kinds of different levels. No wheel chair can make much distance.
• The 12 million and 700 hundred thousand Dollars do not include any furniture.

Aren’t we lucky and happy not to own this house?
Aren’t we fortunate we are not spending 12 million and 700 hundred thousand Dollars plus substantial costs?
Aren’t we content when we compare Villa Las Dunas with where we are living now?
