Activities & Leisure
There are a wide range of leisure activities available locally, reflecting a relaxed pace of life and a climate that allows all year round leisure pursuits. Golf is very popular, with course suitable for beginners and professionals alike, most with multi-lingual coaches and facilities. Horse riding is also popular and available throughout the region, ranging from guided children’s trekking to more free and easy riding for adults and experienced riders. Amid scenery this incredible, these pursuits provide healthy and fun ways of enjoying this beautiful countryside.
For more adventurous spirits, there are plenty of exciting alternatives. The seas are crystal clear, full of exotic marine life, vibrant underwater reefs and shipwrecks dating back many centuries, making them a mecca for diving enthusiasts, and diving opportunities at all levels are widely available. Newer sports, such as paragliding are gaining popularity, and the local Italian holiday trade ensures that a wide range of exciting pursuits are well catered for, and climbing and trekking are also well represented.
Amid the high peaks of the interior, only fifty five minutes from the coast, excellent winter skiing facilities exist, giving a whole new burst of life to the region during the few short weeks when the climate dips just below 20 °C. There are many local excursions available; across the straits to Sicily, along the Coast of the Gods, north to Capri and Naples, the list is long and varied.
Investment Potential
The developer of Jewel of the Sea has their own in-house design team comprised of architects, engineers, and graphic designers, and on top of this they can also provide access to financial and mortgage advisors with offices in Dublin, Belfast, Cape Verde and Italy.
They also have an exceptional land and property portfolio, including residential, tourist, commercial, retail and leisure. They are one of the largest developers in Southern Italy and Sicily, they have many sites with full planning permission, and mostly all Front Line Beach including, Brancaleone, Soverato, Crotone, Ciro Marina, Tropea, Lamezia and Sicily.
Southern Italy and specifically Calabria is the new emerging market in overseas property with low-cost flights, very affordable properties and the Italian lifestyle “ La Dolce Vita “. The further South you travel, the warmer the weather, and the more blue flag beaches. “Skiing in the morning, beach in the afternoon” isn’t possible in many places but in Calabria the two are within an hour of each other. The healthiest cuisine and fine wines, a marvellous climate, and being steeped in history and culture Calabria is second to none. These are only some of the reasons that make Calabria and Sicily the new emerging market. Not just a dream holiday home, but also a sound investment with attractive returns due to the low supply and high demand for property. Also in place is an insurance bond which guarantees 100% of a buyers deposit money, which is now a requirement under the Italian law. This can be verified by the national press, property magazines, and real estates agents.
Many experts predict capital appreciation of between 25% – 35 % per annum and the investment doubling in under five years. If the buyer owns a property for five years there is no capital gains tax upon sale in Italy. Another exceptional tax law is that there is no inheritance tax, a law specific to Italy, ‘Uso Fruto’ means that a son or daughters name can go on the title deeds of your property and in the event of the parent dying the property is passed to the offspring free of taxes.
Depending on the number of properties purchased by a client for an investment, a discount from 5% up to 12 % is available. However if your client wishes to enter into a joint venture or capital venture, the investment return is much higher, between 80% to 100 % over the 2 year period. Finding another investment with this kind of return and security is almost impossible.
The joint venture investment is protected as the buyer will become joint owners of the land and of all properties built on the developments . There is an additional return on their investment if they wish to keep and manage retail or commercial amenities, and the after–sales service of a development. The developer will produce the land with full planning permission, building licences, and all other legal requirements under Italian law, i.e. due diligence.
With McLaren, we can also arrange flights for all inspection trips, booking hotels and negotiating a discount for rooms used by the clients. We welcome clients to Italy to view and purchase a property. We believe that one of our strongest selling points is that each client who purchases a property will receive an insurance bond guaranteeing 100% return of their monies should there be an unforeseen event or a problem from a builder or a developer; this is a new requirement under Italian Law which lowers the risk of investment to almost zero.
