Home For Sale in Villarrica, Region 9 Chile
Beautiful 4 Bed/3 Bath Home In Lakes District
Asking Price: $199,000 USD
4 bedroom, 3 bath, 320 m2 (3200ft2) house on 5000 m2 (1.25 acres) located 2 km from Villarrica in a quiet subdivision of nice homes. The lot backs up to a native forest and after a short 5 minute hike up the hill, there is a spectacular view of Lake Villarrica and Volcano Villarrica. This house, built in 2001, has an open floor plan and a spacious living/dining area. The newly remodeled American style kitchen has solid-wood custom cabinets made out of a beautiful native hardwood (lingue). There is a large island (4'x 3.5') in the center of the kitchen (13'x 14'). Native wood is used throughout with a vaulted wood ceiling in the living and dining areas (23'x23'). Wood floors throughout, mostly coigue, a native hardwood. There is a 90 foot coigue tree in the back yard at the edge of the forest. The kitchen, laundry, and two of the baths have ceramic floors. Additionally, there is a formal dining room that is currently being used as an office. All four bedrooms are on the main floor. The Master Bedroom (13'x16') has a walk-in closet and large bathroom with jacuzzi. The bathroom floor, walls and vanity are made with laurel wood which is rot resistant. The second bedroom (12'x13') and third bedroom (12'x 12') share a bathroom. The fourth bedroom is oversized (23'x17') and could be used as a large office or family room. Upstairs is a loft with two carpeted store rooms behind it. Outside is a double carport and a 18'x21' storage shed (called a bodega in Chile.)
The large, fenced yard has numerous native trees. There's a gate to the forest with hiking trails and beautiful views.
The house is heated by a wood-fired boiler and radiator system or by the imported Lopi wood stove in the living room. Almost all homes in the area are heated by wood as wood is very abundant in the area. The house is insulated for year-round comfort. Many, if not most, of the homes in Chile are not insulated. In this area, winter temperatures will occasionally dip down to freezing at night. But they don't need to bury the water pipes. The summers in Villarrica are near perfect with highs in the 70's and low 80's with an occasional day reaching 90. The nights always cool off nicely. This local in Chile is known for it's great weather. Our neighbor, a life-time resident, claims that this spot in Chile has 100+ perfect (around 70 and sunshine) days out of the year. The North gets hot and dry. Farther South gets colder, rainier, and foggy.
Water is supplied from a deep community water well with a storage tank on a hill. The electric bill for the pump is divided among the houses it serves and comes out to be just $10/month. The water is clean, fresh, great tasting and very inexpensive. We do not need to use a filter.
The house has a telephone line, the only one in the neighborhood. The house also has internet available.
The house is conveniently located 2 km (1.2 miles) from Villarrica and is only 300 meters off the paved road into town. You do not see traffic from the house, just trees, forests, and a few neighborhood homes. It is in the country, but very close to town. It is a few minutes drive to fresh fruit and vegetable markets and stores. El Tit is a modern grocery store in town right next to a modern hardware store (similar to Lowe's or Home Depot.)
Villarrica (pop. 27,000) is the second largest city in Region 9 and has all the goods and services you would need. One of our favorite things about living in Chile has been the delicious apricots, Bing cherries, fresh cheese, etc. The convenience of living near town, yet in the country is a great plus.
The Villarrica/Pucón area is one of the most popular vacation destinations in Chile. The area includes numerous large crystal-clear lakes for swimming, national parks for camping and hiking, beautiful rivers for kayaking and fishing, snow skiing on the volcano, restaurants, and lots of clean fresh air. And it stays green year round.
Our house is 76 km (45 miles)from Temuco, the capital of the region. It takes 45-50 minutes to get to the airport in Temuco.
Vulcan Villarrica is an active volcano. Adventurous hikers trek up it for a peak into the crater. If it makes you nervous to think about living near a volcano, take comfort in knowing there is a hill and a large lake between this house and the volcano. Villarrica has been kept safe through past eruptions, unlike Pucon which is on the path of the lava flow.
It is amazing to us how few bugs there are here. We don't have mosquitoes. We enjoy eating on the deck.
This is a practical and affordable house in an ideal location for year-round living, or it would be a great vacation rental. It's very peaceful and relaxing. A great price. Take a look around, you won't find a better deal in this area.
