This article is part of our latest special report on International Golf Homes, about some of the top spots to live and play.
Like any property for sale, golf homes are available globally in a wide range of prices.
Experts suggest that $750,000 is a budget that many golf home buyers have in mind when searching for a home. At least one data point supports this claim: In a recent survey of 7,000 people, Golf Life Navigators, a group that matches golfers with courses and homes, found that most were seeking properties between $750,000 and $800,000.
“It’s a sweet-spot number, and you can definitely find a property in that price range for anywhere in the world,” said Doug Treadwell, owner of Golf Life Properties, which sells golf homes in the United States to international buyers.
In certain markets — say, parts of Thailand or South Africa — $750,000 can get you a palatial home with a swimming pool or one in an upscale that offers a broad range of amenities. In other golf markets like West Palm Beach, Fla., or Majorca, that number is unlikely to buy more than a small apartment at best.
Here is a look at five listings in the $750,000 range in locales around the world.
