Cofresí, Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic
$420,000
A four-bedroom villa on a quiet hillside in Cofresí, ten minutes from the beach and fifteen from Puerto Plata's international airport. The house is built from solid concrete with a clay tile roof, and the living room sits under a handcrafted round timber ceiling.
Each bedroom has its own bathroom. Outside there is a private pool, a covered veranda behind stone arches, a terrace lounge and mature gardens with palms, bougainvillea and Norfolk pines.
The structure is sound. The interiors need cosmetic renovation, and the price reflects that. Further down you can see what each room looks like today and after a realistic renovation of about $50,000.
