Cala house design

This is the baseline plan of the 2100 sq ft, 2 bedroom, 1-1/2 bath house we're going to have built. Baseline means that we've asked for numerous changes -- flip the house 180 degrees so that bedroom is on the left and the garage on the right, simplify the upstairs roof line, enlarge the master bath, delete the home office, reduce and relocate the wine storage, remove dividers between the kitchen and great room, enclose the garage, delete the veranda between the garage and house, add windows upstairs, add a veranda between the kitchen and great room, etc.

Below, for those of you who don't mind mirrored text, is the horizontally flipped floor plan.

Casey's project

I had been following Doug Casey's Argentina property development for a couple of years, but never felt the urgency to get involved in a new project just getting off the ground. The grand opening was in November, 2009 and the main club house was completed.

On a weekly basis there is an email published that is a conversation between Doug Casey and one of his investment newsletter authors. In February there was an extensive conversation about Argentina that included news of a wine harvest celebration at the Casey Argentina property in March. On February 10th I asked for additional information about the harvest celebration and after getting an introductory email the following day I began discussions with Carol about checking it out. Once we realized this could be our next big adventure we began the investigation.
