Want a Cabarete Villa? Here’s Why You Should Get a New Build

villa cascada dominican republic
Reading Time: 3 minutes

Have you always dreamed of owning a vacation home in the tropics? If so, the Dominican Republic is calling your name! Now is a great time to invest in our booming real estate market, and there’s no better place than the North Coast! are bustling tourist destinations and boast growing expat communities. If you want a high-quality vacation villa and a welcoming neighbourhood, Casa Linda is your go-to choice for your vacation home.

All of our villas are sold before construction begins. You choose a floor plan, and we’ll work with you to create a home that fits your lifestyle and preferences. While opting for a new build can seem like a long and gruelling process, below we’ll discuss why buying a brand-new Cabarete villa over a resale is the best way to go. Keep reading to learn how our team at Casa Linda can help you get the villa of your dreams!

You Get to Make it Your Own, from the Ground Up

One of the best perks of buying a floor plan over a previously built home is the many ways you can customize it to fit your preferences. Once you select one of our villa models, you can make alterations such as the number of bedrooms, room sizes, fixtures, cabinets, countertops, and other structural and stylistic features.

Here are some popular customizations Casa Linda villa owners request:

  • Larger pool
  • Rooftop terrace
  • Enlarged hallways for limited mobility
  • Larger windows/doors
  • Extended/vaulted ceilings
  • Swim-up bar
  • And so much more!

No Previous Owners? No Inherited Problems

While you can find plenty of resale vacation homes in the DR, one drawback of buying a previously owned home is the problems that can come with it.

Villas that haven’t been renovated or properly maintained can have issues with their structure or outdated HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems. These problems can be frustrating to deal with and costly to repair.

In contrast, a custom new build features all new and updated infrastructure, completely free of wear and tear from previous owners. All the villas and townhouses from Casa Linda are built to modern, North American building standards. You’ll see the same quality in your new villa that you would get in a new build back home!

At Casa Linda, we also cover all new builds with warranties that protect you and your investment in the event of any future problems. We offer a 5-year structural warranty and a 10-year standard roof and engineering warranty, ensuring your infrastructure maintains its quality for years to come!

Better ROI in the Future

Newer builds tend to maintain their value longer than resale homes, largely due to the use of modern, more energy-efficient construction techniques. If you choose to sell your villa down the line, you’ll have a chance to see more return on your investment as the sole previous owner.

Why You Should Build New in Casa Linda’s Gated Community

You can get the best quality Cabarete villa from Casa Linda! All of our villas are situated on lots within our enclosed community, which is home to both local DR residents and expats.

In addition to providing you with a beautiful villa and landscaped grounds, we also offer several amenities and services to ensure the maintenance and quality of your home remain intact.

Whether you choose to live in your villa year-round or use it as a vacation home, our on-site staff is here to support its upkeep while you’re here and in your absence.

We offer the following services:

  • Gardening (1-6 days/week)
  • Pool maintenance (1-6 days/week)
  • Housekeeping (1-6 days/week)
  • Garbage pickup
  • Outlight lighting
  • 24/7 gated security
  • Rental management via approved hosting services
