Great location. Well done. As an Architect my advice to you is to get an architect who specifically understands and has done beach house design to work with the environment as well as a foreman or project manger and used materials that works will the elements of the sea (all woods must be marine ready) Beach houses not built well becomes a victim to the salts in the air (the blocks, plastering to the electrical cabling) don’t cut corners, don’t try and build it yourself and build fast. I have seen many disasters, even the one you showcased on your channel - won’t be there in 20 years. Best of luck.
Good advice. The salt in the air is damaging.
Absolutely brilliant. Good soul, good point, I have seen similar short cuts here and there too
So true. Appliances too get destroyed by the salt from the sea.
This is going to be a challenge. There is a reason why Jamaicans live in the mountains in Ghana and not by the ocean. We know from our ancestors not to live at sea level.
Ocean is to visit but building a house so close is a headache.
Structures and appliances get damaged fast by the salt.
I can just imagine it's doing the same to people's skin and they are not aware.
I wish her well. Hopefully other people will learn from her process. I'll be watching this project if she posts the process.
Great advice
Amazing advice even for myself. I have been thinking in building a beach house I will take to consideration all the points you"ve mentioned. Thanks and blessings.
For those of you asking Vanessa about land, if you paid attention to the interview with the fishermen, you will realize this is the cape coast region. So if you are looking for land in the coast coast area, there is so much land available in those areas. Do your research and you will know. Accra is becoming very expensive and East Legon hills oversold. The way things are going in todays world, moving away from Accra will be the best idea and you will be amazed what you find find if you are opened minded enough to move away from Accra.
i don't think its cape coast. she said 1-1.5 hours from accra in the video, cape coast is much further than that.
Why can't information divulged straight out. I thought that was the purpose for the video. For instance, " I bought this car from Toyota Accra. It's a 4.6 litter engine, it's costed me $58,000. If you need one, they are located on Kweme Nkhuruma Ave. Say I referred you" Now you asking us to start researching? Was it for show or information?
@@nsapato , because these things can be complicated. My brother has just bought a similar plot of land by the sea in our country. The family selling quoted the equivalent of $63K US , certainly because my brother was buying from the USA and they quoted the highest possible price. Then we new a broker who new that family and it turns out that the father figure of that family went to school with our dad, My brother travelled back home to close the deal and took my mother with him. In the end, he got the same land for $11K US. You see, if you were to ask me how much is the land worth, my answer would be: "it depends"; and you would probably be frustrated with that answer but that would be the truth! Cheers!
@@nsapato I completely agree! I know Vanessa is private but what’s the point of these videos if it’s just to show off? She could have at least said what region and if she doesn’t want to share, she can just stick to showing others. I think it’s so important to bear the viewers in mind when creating these videos.
Did she mention price in this interview?
Here in Rwanda we do umuganda which is community work once a month cleaning the streets. Ghana omg must do umuganda on those beautiful beaches. Great video...all the best...I also started like this with just land. Excited to see the progress. Keep going young lady x
We used to hv that here but after covid it stop
Agree...
Can't you see nobody leaves there Ghana here we have big big land's at the beach.. which no one leave there...
Nobody lives there
I visited Ghana in 1998 for the first time with a good memory in my mind and when I returned in 2019 the amount of plastic pollution at those beautiful beaches really depressed me. Umuganda is certainly a good concept but it only works at the symptoms, when the root cause isn't being addressed. Certainly not at the hands of local villagers, who didn't cause this ecological disaster. Plastic beach pollution, unfortunately, is a worldwide problem and likely the solution must be global as well, especially in the so-called developed countries where consumers also still carry on mostly unaware of this environmental tragedy and their involvement in it.
I love the fact that Vanessa is being more realistic, she had her heart set on Accra, realizing Accra is overpriced and congested, she made the correct choice.
Vanessa always looks so happy in Ghana, she looks “alive “ 😊
I saw the fisherman pull in the nets in Moree! They were chanting and singing and one grown man asked me to adopt him! My Fiance told him he didnt want to be his daddy and we all laughed so much. There was also a small small boy and a girl that were pulling innthe nets. My Fiance joined in with pulling the nets! It was a great time!!
So, because I am AA and my ancestors were from somewhere in Africa and other places...I wish I could just spend a day having the experience of what my ancestors were robbed of. Just to know what a day would have been like if they were not robbed of their culture, my culture. I have booked a trip to Ghana this Spring for me and my children and I hope we take back with us pride and that it changes us in someway for the better to pass down to the next generation.
You can also talk to Maximum Impact tour, Jay Cameron, an AA who specializes in such tours. He can help you have a memorable stay while in Ghana. Akwaaba in advance
It changed me to the point where my wife and I are planning to move there...I think you will enjoy the warmth of the people there.
I hope you have a wonderful time, Jay Cameron does the best tours, he gives you the full experience like no other tour group. Enjoy...he's at Maximum impact on CZcams..
Whatever you do don't cut the coconut trees🌴🌴 down that's what is keeping the water from rising
Welcome to the beachfront land Fam!
+iAmLeslieJones -- Ask her how big are the waves and if there are any sharks.
A woman of vision, some of us shall pray for you to succeed.
I went to the Ivory Coast months after I watched this channel. Visiting a fishing village in Assinie-Mafia was the most spectacular experience of my life to date. A smile and mutual respect can get you so far in the world. Thank you for this content!
After viewing this vlog you make it relevant to still watch your channel. I know you have moved back home but I watch your vlog for your Ghana content. Kudos 👏🏾
I can’t believe you purchased in my home town!😍😍 the area is beautiful Vanessa, honest you’ll love the people and all of that! all the best to you and your family on your project! 🙏🏾💯
Where is the place?
As for the plastic, waste management is a great opportunity for entrepreneurs. I’ve seen a young Sister from Kenya utilize a simple process of turning discarded plastic into “ bricks” for road building and other building materials. The saying, “ if you have lemons, make lemonade “ is very much real. The people here could do such a thing. Love you Ghana! Beautiful people, beautiful country!
You can also do it
Great opportunity for you
Stop this stupid crap. Clean your home because it should be clean, not for freaking money
@@Tu51ndBl4d3 hey , if you can do both , why shouldn't they. this way the plastic is used in a meaningful way instead of buried in landfills.
@@chriskwakernaat2328 yh
This is an idyllic location even on a foggy day. A bar and grill would attract patrons from far and wide if sited in a place like that. "Toast the African sunset at the Full Moon Saloon". Solar panels would provide the power, but water might need to be trucked in. Beachfront property was my lifelong ownership dream until sea level rises started making headlines.
If money were no object I'd love to build a humble abode on a hillside with ocean views, but at a decent elevation above the shoreline. Raising entire buildings atop pile-driven pillars might be a worthwhile investment for construction in areas such as this beautiful location that is within such close proximity to the shoreline.
Vanessa it's lovely only advice is Rust,my place is on the beach.The rust is vigorous so use materials that are rust proof,wood,plastic and marine specialist stuff.Its lovely.
Yep. Moisture from sea breeze has no mercy on iron
So true.
Appliances rust, pipes rust, galvanized roof rust. It must be aging the skin too. I wish some scientists would study this to see what effects the salt has on people's skin who live near beaches.
You finally chose beach front. looks great!
This video is definitely motivation for me. I have land in the central region of Ghana close to the beach. I can't wait to go back and start the process of building there. I miss the energy of peaceful vibration in Ghana.
So proud of you show casing all these people. So proud of them doing whatever it takes to live or to survive
Congratulations!!! Such a milestone! 🎉
CONGRATULATIONS!!!! 🍾 you did it 👏🏽👏🏽
Congrats Vanessa!! 🎉🎉 This is definitely inspiring.
You are definitely happiest when in Ghana
Great Presentation! Again, Ms.Kambi, your sharing is truly informative and inspiring. Thanks.
Hi Vanessa!! Very very nice. Please keep coming out with more vlogs!!
That man taught me at the kindergarten
Congratulations Vanessa...
This is going to be an awesome place. I can tell... ❤
This is really good content. I like the randomness of the script
I have been trying to purchase in Ghana. But don’t know the particulars can you work a video on the process and approximately how much you don’t have to tell an exact amount. That would be nice to know
Love the randomness of the video. Congratulations on the new land. The fisherman could try for the Olympics if they can swim that far! 😅. The tie and dye guy has nice designs. Did he only do shirts? Thanks for showing us my hometown 😊 I need to visit soon
Wow! I'm so happy for you. It's always joy to see my own people buying such land and developing them instead of Asians, Middle East and the Europeans. Well done 👍🏿, dear sister!
Wonderful!
But she's Scottish........🤔
With a Ghanaian Dad!
@@Lookup2Wakeup Diversity is KEY for advancement.
Nice!!! Can you give me some leads to purchase some please 🙏
Please for you. Also make sure you have the Land Registered
Will be lovely beach days 👌 it’s a journey sorting the paperwork out etc but it’s great feeling seeing the blocks go up. I know when your back with the children they will love seeing it’s growth. When we started in April our girls was so happy🇬🇭🇬🇧
tbh i love these kind of content
This was original. Keep it up kanbi
Wow I'm happy you're purchasing a land at winneba my home town.
Great video!!! Keep it up!!
Well done am proud that you guys are really doing something good when you come to the motherland God bless you
Congratulations Vanessa 🎉
Ghana Africa is the best no stress better than the rest 🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭 am telling you
Absolutely beautiful 😍 Vanessa. Good for you and your family! Hopefully you will help to influence them the importance of cleaning up the pollution and also the importance of not polluting the beaches and oceans. It's a very serious problem.
The plastic bottles are coming from international shipping vessels and yachts that dump their garbage in the ocean, and it washes ashore on Ghana’s coast. The polluters are not the Ghanaian people, however the Ghanaian people must take action to discourage pollution from the international waters, which is a difficult task. In the meantime, cleanup efforts are necessary. ❤️💫🌍
Wow beautiful congratulations Vanessa 😊😊❤
Wonderful post Vanessa!!!
I think it is quite sensible to be further away from the sea for a number of reasons.
However does your plot extend to the shore to ensure something or someone doesnt obscure your ocean views.
I was led to believe that the beaches of Ghana were protected thus allowing everyone access to beaches, which seems right. There should not be any private beaches.
I also thinking that no one should be able to build too close to the sea nowadays, our shorelines should have an exclusion zone. Not primarily because of coastal erosion but to protect the natural habits. Ghana is nesting ground for various turtle species. Building behemoth buildings right on the shore also detracts from what makes these places so stunning in the first place.
I think somone has suggested it but ideally the best kind of dwelling would be one that blends in to the scenery. For quick build prefabricated and reinforced glass are options. Large 'french' doors/windows at the shore facing side that could be opened up (making the living area like an outdoor space) and maximise the benefit of sea breezes to cool the house. Whilst you can catch glimpses of the sea a wall of trees and indigenous shrubs/ bushes could partially hide the building from the seaward side. This might also help reduce light pollution which again affects species such as turtle.
On the plastic menace, Ghana really needs to get to grips with its waste management. One option is to use as little plastic as possible. Go for biodegradeable packaging and reuseable items.
Best of luck with the build.
Congratulations on purchasing your land, enjoy the process of building your dream house, how is your baby and family doing, enjoy Africa/Jamaica 🇯🇲❤
Congratulations family ✊🏽
Well done Vanessa. That is a million dollar view
The tie dye t-shirts are so pretty, maybe you can help him find a way to sell them here in the USA.
Congratulations. Can't wait to but my own piece of heaven someday.
Living around nature is the best
These people are natural hustlers
THAT WAS A VERY GOOD 👍 VLOG OF THE ACTIVITIES ALONG THE BEACHES.
In the same area I watched them building boats with chain saws and hatchets
Nice video, loved the t shirts
Very good to see, waiting for more! Many greetings from Berlin, Germany. :)
Wooow at long last.
Beautiful place to own land
People, if you don’t have the money to buy Land in Ghana there are plenty of free land in Asebu, all you need is about $800.00 for administration fee and some patience. I got mine, we have no excuses.
Vanessa on my first visit to Ghana in 2009 , the hotel we lived in was next to a fishing village and the flies were numerous. The people in the fishing village used the beach as a toilet and the beach was filthy . I was totally grossed out
loved everything about this video. Where is this beach? Would love to set up a small shop there!
I hope you have done your due diligence in making sure you do own the land. There is a class action lawsuit by some of the diaspora in Ghana that has been land scammed. Please make sure with the land commission that your documents are in order.
This is a beautiful video…
Best Content My Sis My Ghana.
I hope you're doing well/ ur family and the newer family. Where in Ghana is this beachfront ?
I wonder what the flood history is like. There is a town called Keta (Volta region) that is slowly drowning in the water. Hope you do some high elevation project
I think using stones to stop the water from flowing to the land will be fine.. it's a beautiful location
@@esthervanda7401 well that can only do so much. It can't challenge the power of mother nature
@@YouStillNeedToSleep they used it in Dubai, Namibia and other developed places. It won't affect anything..it only restrict the water to some extent
Exactly.. I won’t advise any of my loved ones to build around a beach or a water body. It’s mostly disastrous
So Nice! it looks like Busea Beach area.
Can you do a video on the process of buying.
Amazing way of life
Wowed
Have a great time over there ❤
So cool!
Do two, 2 Floor container homes black with huge windows giving a 180 degree view
Wonderful video...I appreciate your tour guide & translator. Keep up the good work.
Love you girl . From the US 👌🏽💯💯
Hi Vanessa! Thanks for another great video. Where is this beach located and do you mind sharing the contact for the land sales?
So much untapped potential...the old men are so fit ...its all beautiful with the right leadership these coatal towns could be so much more
Congrats Vanessa but did you say you bought this land and it's the first time you're seeing it?? I can only guess to do this you must of bought it from a close family member but do correct me if I'm wrong.
I buy land often in Ghana (not just for personal use but also we help friends) so it's also interesting that you've agreed to buy land without demarcations in place to show you exactly what your buying before you part with cash. I tend to wait for for this before agreeing to sign off on any funds as a lot of people can get ripped off.
I do wish you the best with it and I hope it all works out smoothly for you. Looking forward to seeing how this progresses. 🥰
I thought the same. Buying ocean property without demarcation. I hope this works out well for you, Vanessa.
Thank u fore sharing Vanessa
I really love this video Vanessa I do love the beach.✌❤
I helped to pull in such net traps when i was in Ghana for the first time in 2016. Usually they ram in a big log of a palm tree, if there is none, to secure the rope and pull the net in, inch by inch, with a whole bunch of people. I helped a few times and got fresh fish. The salt content in the air is quite high and eats rebar iron and steel fast. Also Plant which cant handle salt will be affected. Tamarisk trees for example can tollerate salt in the soil but I don't know if they can take it at their leafs!? I want to come to Ghana too. I'm in Germany now
you have to put big stones between your plot and the sea to protect your land
Fine location 💪💪
Great Video. We alway enjoy watching your videos. Could you let me know here this is. I am also interested in buying beach front property in Ghana. Is it past Kokrobite? What's the name of the fishing village?
love the video
Hi Vanessa, awesome
We are building in Nsawam only 20/30mins to Accra.
Nice
Congrats. Wonder how big it is and what did it cost...Still watching your video
Thats my question
Wow is bean a long time
Congratulations on the beach front land purchase... #Hotep
stay bless my sister
Hi Vanessa, how much per plot and where is the location?
We are looking to come to Ghana this year. We are interested in buying land and buying as well. 8:15 Beachfront proper would be great! Already bought some land in Belize about 1/2 mile from the beach. Would love to connect with you Vanessa when we come to look at some land by the beach.
God bless you!
Ps congratulations. From a vision to reality.
Wise woman 👩 👏.
Luv ❤️ from Ghana
Awwww very nice video that is my home town senya beraku . I ❤️ ya
This is amazing where is the land located please
Hi Vanessa, where is the land located. Do they have more for sale?
Imagine a sea food restaurant somewhere there. My blood will become organic in no time. Here in the U.K. I feel the food is just long time Health situation because of all the chemicals in the food.
***Please build around the palm trees, preserve.
Thanks!
Thanks so much!
We need to give awareness about land selling in Africa for outsiders,for Africa belongs to Africans, congrats sister.
