In House Hunters International: Volume 6 season 17 episode 6, titled "Adopted Homeland Hunt," viewers join a couple on their quest to find their dream home in a new country. The couple, originally from the United States, has recently moved to Costa Rica as part of their retirement plan and is now looking for a permanent residence.
The episode starts with the couple visiting their current apartment and discussing the reasons behind their decision to move to Costa Rica. They mention the warm climate, the friendly people, and the abundance of nature, which they find very relaxing. However, they also acknowledge that living in an apartment, where they don't have much privacy or outdoor space, is not ideal for their retirement years.
The couple then meets with their real estate agent, who takes them to see three different properties in the country. The first property is a beautiful, modern villa with an open-plan living area, large windows, and incredible ocean views. Although the couple is initially excited about this property, they quickly realize that the price is beyond their budget. They also express some concerns about the upkeep of such a large, high-end property, which they feel may be too much for them.
The second property the couple visits is a smaller, more traditional home with a cozy, cottage-like feel. The home is located in a lush jungle setting, which the couple loves, but they worry about being so far from the beach and other amenities they might need. The couple also notes that the home would need some updating and renovation work before they could move in, which they are hesitant to take on at their age.
The third and final property the couple sees is a stylish contemporary home in a gated community. Although this property is a little more expensive than the other two, the couple is impressed with its sleek, modern design, which includes a spacious outdoor terrace and pool area. They also appreciate the fact that the property is move-in ready and doesn't require any additional work.
After viewing all three properties, the couple sits down with their real estate agent to discuss their options. They weigh the pros and cons of each property and ultimately decide to make an offer on the third property, the contemporary home in the gated community. Although it's a little more expensive than the other options, they feel that it's the most practical choice for their needs and budget.
Overall, "Adopted Homeland Hunt" is an enjoyable episode of House Hunters International that showcases the challenges and rewards of finding a home in a new country. Viewers will appreciate the beautiful scenery of Costa Rica and the relatable struggles of the couple as they try to balance their desires with their practical limitations. Whether viewers are planning a move to a new country or simply enjoy indulging in armchair travel, this episode is sure to entertain.
