close to the sea where the water is clean more than dirty.i have the sickness called fishing. latitude 52 s seems very close to the white stuff. just a comfortable house with three bedrooms and big garage. if you build houses then maybe i should look at buying a piece of land and you can build me something?

Yes, building your own place can be a great alternative in Chile [Moderated]

You could check a Chilean newspaper called El Mercurio, elmercurio.cl, every Sunday they publish a big suplement about real states, farms (fundo or parcela), appartments (departamentos), houses (casas). Prices of homes depends a lot among other factors, of the location, the kind of neighborhood, is is an upper class, middle class or...I have a brother in law who is an architect, Raimundo Silva,  with a vast experience designing buildings and appartments..if you care I can put you in touch with him, he has no less than 30 some years of experience...
