After making a wish, financial freedom

Chapter 563 Hilltop Villa or Repulse Bay Mansion

After leaving here, the agent took them to Beacon Hill in Kowloon to view properties.

The mountain may not be that well-known, but Waterloo Road, where its residential area is located, is, a highway that connects several prosperous areas.

Therefore, one of the characteristics of the residences in Beacon Hill is that they are very close to the bustling area, making life convenient.

The project they went to see was a low-rise building, only six stories high, but it had an elevator.

Taking the elevator up to the fifth floor, they were looking at a large flat floor with an area of ​​400 square meters and only four bedrooms. It was said to be the ceiling of a Hong Kong luxury house.

After going in and looking at it, Li Zhuo felt that its decoration was quite good. It had the feeling of a large flat floor in a mansion. No wonder he dared to brag about it like this.

After entering the room, there is an L-shaped hall, with the living room on one side and the dining room on the other side, with an area of ​​2000 feet, or 185 square meters.

Because it is so big, three large floor-to-ceiling windows are also designed.

In addition, it also designed two living rooms, one of which can be used as a place for drinking tea.

The middle of the floor-to-ceiling window can be opened, and there is a balcony of more than 10 square meters.

Although the floors here are not high, because it is located on the mountain, the view is also very good and you can see far away.

In addition, from the location of the bedroom, you can see the green mountains and the natural scenery is very good.

This large flat floor is in a typical modern style. The floor is paved with gray-toned marble and carpets are placed in both living rooms.

The wall panels also use marble slate, but the textures are deliberately differentiated, which looks good.

There are four groups of sofas, two groups with light tones and two groups with dark tones, which are more cleverly matched.

Regardless of the furniture or other soft furnishings, they are all quite stylish and look like a light luxury.

This style is suitable for young people like Li Zhuo.

The kitchen is a combination of Chinese and Western kitchens. The refrigerator, steamer and oven are all metal in appearance, and the space is large. Three or four people can cook in it without feeling crowded.

Behind the kitchen is the nanny room. There are three nanny rooms in total. Multiple nannies can be hired to take care of the food and daily life.

The bedroom area is separated from the public area, with a total of 4 bedrooms.

Entering from the corridor is a small living room with a set of sofas.

The four bedrooms are located around the small living room.

The bedrooms are all suites with bathrooms.

The master bedroom is relatively large, about 40 square meters, equipped with separate dry and wet toilets, bathrooms, and large cloakrooms. The overall decoration style is relatively exquisite.

The feeling of this apartment is okay, at least it is large in area, 400 square meters, so it will definitely be comfortable to live in.Don’t forget that the houses in Hong Kong are all real-price, and the housing area is real-price. There is no shared area. It may be comparable to the large flat floors of more than 500 square meters in China.

It felt good. Li Zhuo asked about the price. The female intermediary said that this apartment is located on the fifth floor of the flat floor. The price is 2.4 million yuan. The price of each floor is different. The lower the floor, the cheaper it is. The price of the flat floor on the second floor is 2 million yuan. .

2.4 million yuan per set, equivalent to 60 yuan per square meter.

The total price is similar to the one in Jardine's Lookout, but the area is larger. Both units are good.

Sure enough, since these large flat-floor projects are all newly built, the decoration style, soft furnishings, etc. are relatively up to date, and at this price point, the overall design level must be top-notch, and it is easy to satisfy people.

After viewing the flat floor, it was getting late, so they made an appointment with the agent to go see the villa project the next day.

After watching the flat floor for a day, Ms. Ye said to Li Zhuo:
"Hong Kong's large flats are easier to buy, easier to sell, more modern, and actually better to live in than villas. However, villas are also better than villas, that is, they are more valuable, and there is a possibility of appreciation if held for a long time. "

Li Zhuo is not optimistic about the strength of Hong Kong's real estate market. Hong Kong's economy is in such bad shape, and with a large number of wealthy people immigrating abroad, there is no future.

But he doesn't care. He doesn't expect the house to appreciate in value anyway. He just uses it to provide a place for himself and his family, so it can have some value preservation effect.

On the second day, the female agency arrived early and waited for them in the lobby of the Peninsula Hotel.

After breakfast, we got into the Maybach at the Peninsula Hotel and headed straight to Shouson Hill on Hong Kong Island.

Shouson Hill is a well-known villa area in Hong Kong. Many celebrities live here.

This villa is 600 square meters, with a total of three floors and a garden of about 220 square meters.

Ms. Ye went in and took a few glances, then came out and said to the agent:
"Since we are looking at villas, I don't recommend them if they are not decorated or furnished. I want a villa that I can move into with my bags." This villa has been renovated, but it does not have matching soft furnishings.

The agent was a little nervous and agreed repeatedly.

Ms. Ye added:

"The most well-known villas in Hong Kong are the Peak Villas and the Repulse Bay Villas. Focus on these two places, followed by the Mid-Levels Villas, followed by Deep Water Bay, and ignore the others."

Li Zhuo gave her a thumbs up.

The hilltop villas she said are the most expensive in Hong Kong, with high ceilings and the average price easily exceeds NT$100 million per square meter.

The price of villas in Repulse Bay is also astonishing, second only to the villas on the Peak, and the second highest among luxury houses in Hong Kong. Some of them exceed one million, which is not a dream.

The villas in the Mid-Levels are also very expensive. The first half of the villa area in Deep Water Bay is very good, but the second half is a bit stretchy, so they are ranked at the back.

These four places are the strongest ones in Hong Kong villas.

After the female agent made contact by phone, they went to see the villa at No. 108 Repulse Bay, and Nos. 20 and 45 Barker Road on the Peak.

The prices are all amazing.

Among them, No. 45 Barker Road is a rough house with a construction area of ​​860 square meters and a garden area of ​​260 square meters. The asking price is 12 billion Hong Kong dollars, which is almost 11 billion yuan.

Ms. Ye was moved.

Of course, the price is not generally expensive, but it should be noted that in Hong Kong, once the land is purchased, such a house can be rebuilt. With the area of ​​​​the land, 4 small villas can be built, and then sold, as a hilltop villa. The astonishing price, this transaction is definitely profitable.

What’s rare is that No. 45 is the only land-for-sale project in the entire Hilltop Villa area.

Ms. Ye was not an ordinary person. She quickly calmed down and made her own calculations.

After buying it for 11 billion, depending on the size of the land, four small villas of about 4 square meters can be built. Based on the current average price of mountaintop villas of 350 million yuan per square meter, the final price is 130 billion yuan.

This works out to a profit of 7.2 million yuan.

But we have to consider the cost of demolition and reconstruction. The cost of building these six villas, from design, construction to decoration and soft decoration, requires a lot of money. Even if you calculate it, you won't make much money.

Unless the price of the mountaintop villa continues to skyrocket, this is not necessarily the case, and there is a cost of gambling.

Finally Ms. Ye gave up.

She said with some regret:
"If I had come here to get the land seven or eight years earlier, I estimate that I could have bought it for up to 6 million. It would be worth the effort. But now the land price is too high. 11 billion is not worth the gamble."

She didn't want to take risks, and Li Zhuo certainly wouldn't either. A rough house was sold for 127 million per square meter. He was not optimistic about the future of Hong Kong, so how could he take this gamble.

So only No. 108 Repulse Bay and No. 20 Hilltop Villa are left.

The villas in these two places are actually the result of developers or private individuals acquiring the land and then re-planning and building several villas.

This approach is normal in Hong Kong. Stephen Chow once did something similar. He took the land of a villa and then planned to build four villas. He only sold the largest one and he made back his money.

Among the two villa projects, No. 108 Repulse Bay has a larger land area. A total of 8 villas have been built, ranging from 460 square meters to 808 square meters. Because the developer is relatively powerful, it has become a benchmark. The building is very famous throughout Hong Kong, and it is more attractive to Li Zhuo.

The land at No. 20 Barker Road is relatively small. Only 4 villas have been built in total, ranging in area from 345 square meters to 440 square meters. They are privately built. The design of the project at No. 108 Repulse Bay is relatively not as outstanding.

Of course, that’s not to say it’s bad. After all, the villa will be sold to other rich people at a high price. Who can appreciate it if it’s bad?

It has all the necessary facilities, including a small outdoor swimming pool, a small garden, and the Victoria Harbor in the distance can be seen from the rooftop of the villa.

The interior soft furnishings are also good, typical Western manor style, which still looks okay.

The price is really not low. The expected price of the smallest 345-square-meter villa is HK$5 million, which is about 4.6 million yuan, equivalent to 133 million square meters.

The asking price of the largest 440-square-meter villa is HK$7 million, which is about 6.5 million yuan, equivalent to 148 million yuan per square meter.

At this price, buying a villa with such a small area always feels a bit aggrieved.

So they finally decided to buy the villa project at No. 108 Repulse Bay. The villas here are more exquisitely built, larger in area, cheaper per unit, and in a very good location. They also have one of the top ceilings in Hong Kong luxury homes.
