1) With an area of exactly 18,963 square meters, the property is almost square in shape and can easily be subdivided. It is surrounded with a durable and massive concrete fence (at least 10 ft high) on 3 sides (except the 132 meter side facing the sea). An excavator/rock breaker was hired to prepare the foundation. We made our own concrete hollow blocks using an electric operated machine that can produce 4 hollow blocks at one time & there are only 40 pcs produced per sack of Portland cement - approximately 400 meters fence/wall assures you of PRIVACY.
2) This property is part of a beautiful 14km reef that offers a fantastic variety of diving for all levels of diver. Both ends of this property are identified as diving areas. Still relatively unknown to the world, along the coast of the Anda Peninsula (which is from Basdio, the last barangay of Guindulman where a marine sanctuary exists up to the barangay of Badiang in Anda), there are a total of 12 designated diving areas. The dive sites are easily accessible and reward the divers with a whole specter of rich marine life with largely untouched reefs, spectacular drop-offs, caves, grottoes, and magnificent coral gardens - a haven for underwater photographers. You can find the resident whale shark, many turtles, a huge humpback parrot fish as well as a variety of reef life. There are seahorses, nudibranches or sea slugs and pipefish for those who like to find the small things. Diving spot numbers 7 and 8 are just right in front of our property.
The waters in front of this area is a favorite diving spot as a lot of fish breed here because of the existence of underwater caves. Dive boats from Blue Star, Coco White Beach, Flower Beach and Bituon always anchor here to wait for divers to surface. Marine biologists consider the diving areas in Anda as 2nd best in Bohol.
Under the Bohol Tourism Master Plan, the Anda Peninsula will be developed into a major tourism destination like Panglao Island because of its white sandy beaches and verdant lush vegetation and historic significance. The government is now targeting Anda to be the next eco-tourism hub in Bohol that is why a lot of activities are already lined up. As soon as the international airport in Panglao will start to operate, a lot of tourists who want peace and quiet will surely opt for Anda.
3) This is only a few hundred meters away from the Coco White Beach and the Bituon Beach Resorts of Basdio, Guindulman and the Blue Star Dive and Resort and Anda Uroy of Candabong, Anda. A 2-hectare cave was recently discovered near the area and has yet to be developed for tourism. The "Sarah's Cave" could very well be the "next big thing" in Bohol because of its magnificent beauty and wonder!
4) Finished inside this property is a 10 meters x 10 meters and 2 meters high concrete water tank built above ground which is currently serviceable and prepared also for hot and cold water use. This 50,000 gallon capacity tank can easily be filled up during the rainy season.
5) Near the tool shed/garage is a huge underground concrete septic tank prepared with the use of heavy equipment and with the pipes properly laid down. Another excavation was also done with the use of a rock breaker for a septic tank near the house pad.
6) has a 10 meters x 14 meters tool shed/garage with living quarters (construction temporarily stopped).
7) has another big shed for working area, a storeroom, separate workers' quarters and a temporary living space made of concrete (but made to appear native)
8) more than 250 meters winding driveway already compacted with limestone; area near the gate down to the middle part of the property has a retaining wall to elevate the driveway and make sure that water coming from the road will not flow inside the property.
9) has a 132-meter frontage to the sea with areas for a nice house overlooking the sea and cottages for rent. Almost at the middle part of the frontage is a natural trail where you can easily go down to the waters. It is easy to a construct a "salakot" or sitting area with stairs going down to the sea because you go through several ledges before the final drop to the ocean. There is a natural spot for a swimming pool so you need not do some digging. Some parts on the cliff are only 10 to 15 meter above the waters. The cool sea breeze normally blows on the cliff and you also get a scenic view of the Mindanao Sea, Camiguin island and the coastal areas of the nearby towns of Guindulman, Duero and Jagna.
10) has a 33-meter x 12-meter ready house pad plus a space for a big car port (foundation prepared, fully compacted and the 2-storey house plans ready for submission). Near this is a partially done outside cooking/barbecue area and an outside shower/comfort room area.
11) has an existing water line from the Anda Municipal Waterworks System. If this and that inside the 50,000 gallon capacity concrete water tank is not enough, you can easily get another water line connection from Guindulman to augment water supply.
12) has an existing power connection with Bohol Electric Cooperative 2 (BOHECO2) and with your own private transformer. The power lines that pass thru this area is ready for 3-phase electric use.
13) has around 150 coconut trees teeming with nuts (you can sell at least 500 kilos of copra quarterly), 6 avocado trees which are all bearing real yummy fruits, 3 mango trees which are at least 5 years old, and other trees like gemelina, bamboos, mahogany trees, "bagaonga" trees, 4 varieties of bananas, jackfruit, narra, etc. Also planted with vegetables such as squash, carrots, tomatoes, pumpkins, cucumber, lettuce, bell peppers, chili peppers, spring onions and ginger.
14) This is home to all sorts of creatures such as the "ibid" or the iguana, monitor lizards, as well as rare species of birds and butterflies. Lush vegetation and a lot of trees remain untouched because this serves as a habitat for animals.
15) A lot of caves within the property have yet to be explored! Who knows you can find a buried treasure in this property someday?
16) Foreigners are already moving into the area and most of them have invested their money in developing a resort. A 5-star resort in Panglao is currently developing a white sand property in Basdacu, Brgy. Candabong, Anda which is only a kilometer away from this property. A number of Europeans, especially Germans, have built their own vacation houses in the area too.
17) Those who want to go into business has plenty of room for expansion. Both lots beside the property are still vacant and are also up for sale.
18) Anda has a lot of things to offer for those who love swimming, fishing, nature and cave exploration, snorkeling, hunting and scuba diving. Anda has sandy, pearly white beaches and very interesting landscapes.
