The rural farmhouse: new
investment prospects
Investing in a rural farmhouse is an exciting and demanding mission:
the charm of the ruin, the location in pleasant places and the retro aesthetics
require important investments. Are you curious about the idea of starting
such a business? Why buy a rustic? Here are 5 reasons that will convince you of
your purpose.
Living in a rural farmhouse: an
experience out of time
Old farmhouses and imposing stables surrounded by greenery always
arouse a certain charm. Who wouldn't want to have one available to retire
during the holidays or to use as an investment? The majestic architecture, the
typical construction of other times, techniques and materials no longer in use
make up the identity of these buildings. A revival of country life and the
focus on new design solutions have shed a new light on this type of solution
and the availability of incentives for the renovation of the ruins makes them
even more attractive. For many reasons, investing in farmhouses can be an
excellent choice. These five reasons are enough to convince you to make your
dream come true.
1. The irresistible charm of
history
Curacao is a country dotted with fabulous rural landscapes very close
to urban centers. The country house or rustic country house has its roots in
tradition: these large buildings housed the activities of the peasants and were
the theater of all their daily lives. Powerful architectures and austere
aesthetics characterize its charm. Today that no longer host the teeming life
of the peasants, they represent the ideal context in which to seek an
experience of relaxation and proximity to the countryside . Because of their
location outside the city center, they represent the ideal destination for
rural tourism, the perfect solution for those who want a refined and
non-conforming hotel standard of stay. Investing in a farmhouse is not only a
possibility of earning, it can become a job but it can also be a valid
alternative to get away from city stress. A farmhouse in the countryside close
enough to the city center can become an oasis of serenity where you can take
refuge with your family.
2. Rural housing and tax
deductions: a winning combination
Invest in Curacao the renovation of
a rural home is a very romantic and courageous undertaking, but is it
worthwhile? Having abandoned all sentimentality and aesthetic considerations,
one has to deal with one's wallet. What are the tax benefits for those who
venture into such an enterprise?
Those who decide to buy and renovate a farmhouse can enjoy important
reimbursements that are distributed over the next ten years and are configured
as tax deductions for the purchase of appliances and furniture or for the
renovation. Here are the details:
the costs incurred for the renovation of the architectural structure
and for the adaptation of the systems are deductible up to a maximum of 96,000 Euros
(higher costs are not counted):
starting from 2013 it is possible to deduct 50% of the expenses
relating to the purchase of furniture and appliances up to a maximum of 10,000 Euros;
Investments aimed at the energy requalification of the property
(thermal insulation, window systems) are financed with the deduction of 65% of
the expenses incurred up to a maximum of 153,000 Euros equal to 10,000 Euros
per year.
3. News and additions
In compliance with the municipal rules governing the intended use of
the buildings (Technical implementation rules contained in the urban planning
tools), it is possible to take advantage of the benefits of expanding the
farmhouse by adding a new portion that varies from 20% to 70% of the total
coverage. This opportunity allows to increase the value of the property or to
make it more comfortable with the addition of appliances and other living
spaces. It is not difficult to imagine that these country ruins, designed for
different needs related to everyday life, place the search for solutions
related to the usability and destination of the spaces.
4. Staying in a farmhouse, a
new tourism trend
The data provided by the tourist associations are clear: the trend of
rural tourism is booming. The renovation of a farmhouse is the perfect
investment to ride the wave: a building to be used as a luxury resort,
farmhouse, B & B able to offer tranquility and immediate contact with
nature. This fashion has enlivened the real estate market of rustics and
farmhouses especially in the Curacao regions with a strong artistic vocation.
If single travelers or young couples prefer the resort, families with
children turn to experiential tourism proposals that involve, especially the
youngest, in peasant activities and invite to contact with animals. These
activities are encouraged and supported by the Gal. Farmers who are about to
restore a farmhouse can also take advantage of the Rural Development Plan (PSR)
which supports 40% of agricultural expenditure up to a maximum of 200,000 Euros.
5. Investing in brick is always
a certainty
One of the reasons why investing in farmhouses and farmhouses is the
usual Curacao tendency to resort to brick safety. Buying a country house can
prove to be a good investment if it becomes the centerpiece of a production
activity or it can be an excellent solution for hoarding family savings.
Especially for non-experts it is better to contact a professional who directs,
takes care of the purchase and suggests the most convenient resources for the
restructuring. When deciding to invest in a country house , there are a few
factors to consider:
The distance from the city center and the basic necessities, not only
schools and hospitals but also supermarkets and other places related to
leisure;
the size of the property and the housing needs related to the
residents: if the farmhouse is intended for the family's relaxation needs, an
important size is not required, on the contrary, if you do not want to close
the future possibility of transforming it into an accommodation facility, it is
preferable a wider and more articulated structure;
