Im thinking of moving to Chile, so i need to do some research first. Id like to be less than an hour from a good size city or town. A place thats sunny, not too cold in the winter. Im skilled in a lot of areas. Auto mechanic, construction, electrical, plumbing, landscaping, professional painter, offgrip, gardening, ozone therapy, nutrition and physical trainer and some more but thats sufficient. It would be nice to find a job there too, because ill be tapping into my savings to move there. Any suggestions?

I have a place in Pencahue, 35 minutes from Talca.

Im also a very handy person, I Build cabins before and have farming experience. I live in Houston and I'm planing to move to Chile June 2018.

if you own a cabin and own a car, your monthly expenses won't exceed 600-700 a month, you can get a job in Talca, or rent some land for farming.

Check the farm in Pencahue at: movingtochile.com

Let me know if you have any questions.

Hey thanks for the info. What kind of farming do you do? Is there land available in that area?

I rotate between wheat and corn, last week I harvest 20 acres of Chilean corn. When I move next year I probably plant blueberries, kiwi and pecans.

Good flat farmland with water rights sells for around 6k to 8k per acre. 15k - 20k per hectárea. And size of farms are 50 acres and up. So expect to pay 300k to 400k for 50 acres.

If you see anything cheaper is because land has no water for irrigation or medium to high slope that is not suitable for farming.
