Description

House to finish on Lake front , Santiago Atitlan for sale.

Property Overview

Positioned directly on the shoreline outside Santiago Atitlán, this property offers a solid structural foundation for anyone seeking to complete or customize a lakefront home. Accessible exclusively by boat, the location provides exceptional privacy, an authentic Lake Atitlán setting, and direct waterfront potential. Built with heavy-duty concrete framing, block walls, and a concrete ceiling slab, the structure represents a reliable, lasting base for future improvements.

The 4 contiguous parcels that comprise this property are located in a quiet, safe, agricultural and residential neighborhood on La Isla en Pachavac Santiago Atitlan.

The low density of housing and the surrounding native and cultivated flora create a very fresh environment with excellent air quality. Properties in Santiago are currently agglomerated into ancestral title and local families and foreigners have legally purchased parcels within this finca.

The properties are registered under Rights of Possession.

There is no IUSI property tax in Santiago, a point of contention for the local authorities.

Key Architectural & Interior Features

Solid Structural Base: Heavy-duty concrete framing, block walls, and concrete ceiling slab ready for final finishing touches.
Authentic Traditional Character: Features handmade clay baldosa floor tiles, a cozy corner fireplace, and an open concrete staircase.

Electrical Infrastructure & Off-Grid Setup

The home includes a basic, homeowner-installed solar electric framework, offering a clean foundation for a modern renewable energy installation:

Solar & Battery Storage: Includes six 12V batteries housed in a ventilated metal storage enclosure; batteries require replacement.
