The Range Of Houses In Bahia
Bahia has much to offer when it comes to houses. The houses here range from lovely traditional cottages standing in between nice little gardens to high end buildings with the most modern design and architecture in luxury condos at priced locations.
While most houses will offer you the basic facilities such as a swimming pool and a garden, you can expect some great beach views and sea views in most of the houses in the coastal areas.
Some houses are made with commercial investment in mind and offer a guesthouse, restaurant and bar or have the space for expansion. You will very often come across plots with multiple houses being sold and bought as one piece of real estate.
Most houses on offer have some specialty and many have more than one strong point. A few examples would be proximity to the beach, a fantastic sea view, river, lake or lagoon view, commercial suitability, a large plot of
land, gardens with landscaping, multiple houses and premium construction or location.
Prices of houses have a lot to do with their location, the plot area, the house area, the quality of construction, the age of the property and many other variables.As a consequence the prices vary widely from one house to the next and price alone does not tell the whole story.
