🌄 Why So Many Expats Are Choosing Jardín

Jardín offers more than beautiful views — it offers peace of mind.

It’s safe, culturally rich, walkable, and welcoming. The pace of life here is natural and unhurried. You'll find fresh air, a strong sense of community, and the chance to live in a place that still feels connected to tradition — yet open to new ideas.

For many expats, especially those leaving behind hectic city lives, Jardín feels like coming home.

🏡 What Kind of Properties Are Available?

There’s no one-size-fits-all here. Jardín has options for every lifestyle and vision:

• Colonial homes in the town center — perfect for restoration projects or charming full-time living

• Modern apartments or townhouses close to shops, cafes, and the central plaza

• Fincas and coffee farms with production potential and incredible views

• Colombian farms for sale, great for eco-tourism, permaculture, or retreat development

• Raw land, ideal if you want to build your dream finca from scratch

At Jardín Colombia Real Estate, we specialize in connecting international buyers with the most compelling properties in town and in the surrounding countryside — including exclusive listings you won’t find online.

✅ Yes, Foreigners Can Buy Property in Colombia

Colombia fully allows foreigners to own real estate — there’s no need to be a resident or citizen. You can own property in your personal name or through a company.

To purchase property legally, you’ll need:

• A valid passport

• A Colombian tax ID (NIT) — we’ll help you get it through DIAN

• To transfer funds into the country through an authorized channel (this is important — more below)

💸 How to Transfer Money into Colombia (Without Problems)

One of the most important steps in buying property here is getting your money into Colombia the right way. If not done properly, it can cause legal or tax issues later — or even block your ability to register the property.

We help our clients work with secure, authorized providers like Alianza Valores or Acciones y Valores, who act like an escrow service. They ensure your funds are properly registered with the government so you can move forward with full legal protection.

📋 How the Buying Process Works — Step by Step

1. Define your vision and budget

Are you buying to live, invest, rent, or retreat? Factor in remodeling, closing costs, and taxes.

2. Build the right team

We connect you with vetted lawyers, architects, surveyors, and financial professionals.

3. Explore properties

We arrange private showings or virtual tours — whether you’re here in person or buying remotely.

4. Make an offer and sign the “Promesa de Compraventa”

This is the initial purchase agreement. A deposit (usually 10–30%) is due at this point.

5. Formalize the sale with a notary

The “Escritura Pública” (public deed) is signed and notarized, officially transferring ownership.

6. Register the property

We handle the filing with Colombia’s Oficina de Registro, which makes you the official owner.

7. Set up your services

We help get your water, gas, internet, electricity, and property taxes set up in your name.

🌟 Why Jardín Is Special for Foreign Buyers

• It’s still authentic — Jardín has charm that hasn't been diluted by mass tourism

• There’s real potential — with infrastructure improvements coming, values are on the rise

• Expats are moving in — but respectfully, blending into the community

• Cost of ownership is low — property taxes and maintenance remain affordable

• It’s a true lifestyle investment — this is about quality of life, not speculation

🧠 What to Know Before You Buy

• No central MLS exists — That’s why we personally curate and verify every listing.

• Everything’s in Spanish — We provide bilingual support and translated contracts.

• Title insurance doesn’t exist in Colombia — So due diligence matters. We handle it.

• Annual taxes are low — Usually around 0.5%–2% of the declared value.

• Land can appreciate steadily — But this is a long-term lifestyle play, not a quick flip.
