Hi, we have been looking at some beautiful properties up in the mountains and just wondering why they haven’t been snapped up. We don’t want to live in a town but a 10 minute drive to some shops is fine, similar to where we live now. We prefer a Mountain View, not coastal and quite secluded. ...

...Is there a reason that the villas with Mountain View’s are not being bought? Land slides, crime etc. we are planning to fly over soon to check out some properties and areas with a view to spending longer letter in the year and out of season before we fully commit. Just wondering if we should discount our top 3 properties already 😢🤔
Mountain view/remote properties have their appeal some rustic or rural locations are forbidden to build pools and even the house might not have the necessary paperwork in place. The two we looked at didn’t have paperwork for the pools or houses. Sometimes access might be difficult in rainy weather and indeed impassible at times. But if that’s workable and you take the correct guidance there are some bargains to be had. We moved within walking distance to a small town and have several neighbours but we still feel we have views and it’s very quiet. What seems like a beautiful remote location can be isolating at times. But horses for courses. Good look
