They Own 25 Acres in the Philippine Mountains — Would Cost Millions in Virginia

They made the decision in 2008. They finally made the move in 2017. And they have not looked back since. Meet Pete and Marlyn McKee — a couple from Virginia who spent nearly a decade planning their retirement in the Philippines before selling up, paying off every debt, and moving to a 25 acre farm in the mountains of Nueva Vizcaya. They built their home, found their horses, hired farm help, and carved out a life in the foothills of the Cordillera Mountains — near the famous Banaue Rice Terraces — with cooler temperatures, stunning views, and a pace of life that America simply could not offer them. In this video we visit their farm, hear the full story of their slow motion move, and find out what life is really like for two Americans living completely off the beaten path in the Philippine mountains after 5 plus years. If you have ever dreamed of retiring to a farm abroad with land, animals and real peace and quiet, Pete and Marlyn will show you exactly what that life looks like. 🌐 FOLLOW PETE AND MARLYN Blog → innerearthblog.wordpress.com Blog → cordilleracowboy.home.blog Looking for Remote Work?
