Hi Guys,

I am planning on purchasing a bit of land in Goa. A small house or apartment close to a beach. Iam looking at North Goa. If anyone knows of any non conmen realtors their contacts would be most appreciated.

Does anyone have any ideas about which beach is worth pitching tent next to? Good fishing, clean beach, minimal drugged out hippies. I was thinking Vagator or Anjuna or maybe further north (Morjim?).

Any ideas, suggestions or people to contact would be appreciated.

Best,

Ryan

Hi Ryan,

I was in Goa during 2000. I took on rent an apartment from a person in Calangute. His Name is Felix Desouza. I forgot the name of his agency. His office is located in calangute. While coming from Aguada side towards calangute beach, there is a junction where you have to turn left to go to calangute beach and straight to Mapusa. Take the straight road and after 50 yards, there is a apartment block at the right side of the road. Enter the block and in the middle of the block you will see Felix's office. I got good deals while choosing an apartment.

You can meet one Micheal Mascharanas (spelling incorrect) of Flying Dolphin in Calangute. He knows me well and I think he will be able to help you out. His brother owns the Golden eye hotel and restaurant. Ask any body near the chapel (middle of the road) and you will find out their place. Michael's elder brother is Mathais Mascharanhas. You can give my referance as Apoo from Assam who had the Assamese Handicraft shop in Candolim.

Regarding the place to choose for a house, I have found Candolim, Aguada better than Anjuna or Vagator. In North Goa almost all the hippies are found in that areas. Specially those Isrealis. Ther know only about drugs, trance and booze.

Further north is a better option.

All the best.

Hi Wolf,

Am considering purchasing property in South Goa so if you find something, let me know. Maybe an acre at the most.

Bops

sure bops will do and thank you apoo.

Morjim is good and there are a couple of beach shacks for a feed and a beer.
The beach has plenty of fish but is heavily netted - especially on the smaller tides. The estuary is a top location and I've fished it plenty of times but I definatly intend to fish the rocky side on my visit to try to nail some of the queenfish and GT's that come in in the deper water.

There's lots of cheap accomodation in Goa so there's really no need for a tent but if you want to get away from people, you could do a lot worse than crossing just over the boarder and fishing a spot called paradise beach in Maharashtra.

Thanks Ken and Apoo do you have these guys phone numbers. Maybe you cam pm them to me.

Best

As of last year foreigners cannot purchase land, only developed property, so be carefull not to get caught out.

Whats moving Ian at Morjim ... are u fishing Shapora too

"As of last year foreigners cannot purchase land, only developed property"

Any idea what the law is here and does it only apply to Goa ?
I was thinking of looking for land myself.

Wolf .. u got your place or still searching ??

Iam a goan but finding "clean" land in Goa is a bit of a problem given portugese law thats still applicable.

Found land at Morjim but too many issues attached incl. the small fact that it lies within the crz 500 meter zone.

In process of fixing another place near Anjuna (getting the papers checked tomorrow) as well as Assegao. Whichever works out quicker if at all.

finger crossed.

Guys.. Any idea what would a studio apt / 1bhk in/around Baga cost.

Hi,
