In this deep dive we speak with our Canadian friend ‘El Chaco’, who has much to share. From buying land and building to dealing with banks and integrating with the Paraguay community, El Chaco and his family have established a beautiful property that’s well on its way to self-sustainability.
El Chaco has hit some hurdles along the way and how those situations have played out are particularly interesting. Anyone who is considering looking for property in Paraguay would do well to grab a pen, pad & coffee.

Good information guys , surely for good neighbourly relations for the sake of a few thousand dollars it would be nicer to offer them some kind of compensation for moving once its all proven and they are aware they have to move , worst thing would be to have people that are permanently against you as an outsider going forward ...JMHO

Fantastic Video. Thank you so much for the information. We are planning to visit Paraguay in June and move there the year after. I am in real estate in US and would like to do something down there even though we will be retired when we arrive. Would love to see a video on a Paraguyan version of a Home Depot

@ADirtCheapLifeParaguay 2 ай бұрын

Thanks Stephanie. There are some 'big box' stores in some parts of Paraguay, but not around here so much. Being from OZ/NZ I've actually never been to a Home Depot but I think I know how they roll. If we come across one then we'll get onto it for you. Paraguay is quite a decentralized retail experience. Monopolies aren't as obvious as they are in many western countries. Example, there's small hardware stores everywhere...called ferreterias. It's nice, small, family operations, locally supported. But if you want larger department store type places they're around also. The shopping here is actually a step up from NZ. That's not saying much to be honest.

@@HighTrustChaco It appears that Trudeau is destroying Canada on purpose. Do you think I could have a new 2,500 sq. foot home built in Paraguay for about $150,000? Plus $15,000 for a hectare of land?

@HighTrustChaco 2 ай бұрын

@@joeharris6552 That home building cost is absolutely doable. As for the hectare of land, you might be able to find it for that price, but that all depends on where you want to live. Where I'm at, 1-2 hectare properties are going for about C$18,500 per hectare for the kinda spots you'd want to plant your forever-home on.

In the past in Bavaria we had also this indirect communication, you didn`t have to say certain things to your neighbor to keep the good relation alive, the neighbor knew what you like and what you don`t like, so you didn`t had to say to him he shouldn`t plant his trees directly at the border between his property and your property, but things have changed and people now say after you complained they just were to uninformed to know that the law says you have to plant them 2 m away from the border.

Interesting. I am Swiss, lic.oec. living in Paraguay since 2014. Own Granja and a big Duplex house near Asu. Always in my back a super aggressive loyer for everything I do.. I just can recommend. Can be difficult doing things on your own. Living independently is difficult, not to underestimate. I work with paraguayan farmers with much experience, even than it is difficult. The thing that works is animals. Make sure you have an own groundwater access (pozo tertiano) y solar energy. TITULO IS CRUCIAL. SPANISH IS MANDATORY AND ENOUGH MONEY. Life in Paragauy was fine until 2021/22. The downturn of the economy is extremely affecting the daily life and people are desparate and poor. NEVER underestimate this.. FIRST COMES FOOD and later on MORALITY. Clearly visible in this developing poor country. You need to know their way of life to avoid falling into troubles.

Thanks for your great insights. Your advice is so valuable and what we are trying to convey. This is a different world. Unfortunately, for many who are coming here they have to find a way to make it because their countries have become a nightmare. Unfortunately, things are going to get harder so the lessons that you give in your advice is something that we need to learn fast.

@WolfF2022 2 ай бұрын

Yes, I think I don`t go there, Paraguay has to many issues. The gap between poor locals and richer expats is to big, it`s a highly fragile state, even one part of the country is sectionist and I saw a video here on YT in which natives reported they are systematically discriminated by the Paraguayians. The democracy isn`t evolved quite far there as well.
