Houses and villas for sale in Sámara

Our portfolio holds 65 houses and villas in Sámara, from $169,000 to $790,000. The median sits at $465,000, and half the properties fall between $365,000 and $570,000. Three bedrooms is by far the dominant layout — 32 of the 65 — ahead of two bedrooms (13) and four bedrooms (10).

The land often matters more to the price than the house itself. Median plot size is 1,500 m², ranging from 121 m² in the village centre to a full hectare on the hillsides. Between two comparable properties, what accounts for a $100,000 gap is almost always distance to the beach, access quality in the rainy season, and the view.

An asking price is not a selling price, and the listings that sit longest are rarely the best valued. Before you commit, three checks matter more than the viewing itself: title at the National Registry, the land's status if the property sits near the shore, and water availability for the plot. We run them as a matter of course — and we tell you when a property fails them.

Frequently asked questions

What should I budget on top of the asking price?
Around 4% of the price in acquisition costs: 1.5% transfer tax, 1.25 to 1.5% notary-lawyer fees plus VAT, roughly 0.8% in stamps and registration, and 0.25% for escrow. After that comes the annual property tax, 0.25% of the registered value.
Can I buy a house right on the beach?
Not as freehold. The first 200 metres from the high tide line form the maritime terrestrial zone: the first 50 are inalienable public domain, the next 150 fall under a municipal concession where a foreign national is capped at 49%, unless resident for five years. The houses we list are held under full title.
Is three bedrooms the right size?
It is the most common layout in Sámara and the most liquid at resale: it houses a family year-round or sleeps a rental group in season, while staying below the price point where the market thins out.
