Allowed the owner of Villa Sophia at Montevideo to use adjoining lot as parking

Wheels of Happiness

Many small resorts for staycation mushroomed during the pandemic.   For the project we developed that is overlooking the Laguna Lake (it is a good fengshui) this post did not realize that there were that many resorts in that residential subudivion   (As many as twenty)

The owner of Villa Sophia contacted me via the former institutionn I used to work with for a decade.  He needed additional parking space for his resort.   He wanted buy the 400 sm beside his property.   He was willing to pay an exorbitant price for that.  At the same time this post did not want to lose that nice property.  The reason why his resort clicked is that it had such a prime location/vantage point

So why not just allow him to use the lot for a nominal fee.  The owner is an MD at a big and prestigious Medical Center in Pasig and is a gastroenterelogist

This post just charged him the Real Property Tax + % for the 400 sm or merely P10.00 sm.  It was a sweet deal for him

Met owner of Sophia at Montevideo

Wheels of Happiness

This post met the owner of Villa Sophia in Montevideo.  He is a doctor from a well known hospital in MM.  He is an GI specialist, specializing in proctology.   We found out we had many things in common:  he too was/is an educator, and a strict one at that;   he wants to serve, is very passionate in very little details.  He is from Calapan and we have common acquaintances.

Villa Sophia is a famous staycation place overlooking Laguna Lake.   Many swear by nice view, bay breeze and excellent amenities at the resort. 

The good doctor wants to have a parking lot, and a venue place and wants to purchase the adjoining lot which happened to be ours.    But the children do not want to sell precisely because of the nice view. 

He invited me to stay at his place to refer this to friends, and blog about it.

Wont you visit Villa Sophia?
