There are many Americans in Puerto Montt, Chile.  South Americans.

I visited Puerto Montt a few years ago, while I was recovering from a stomach virus that I apparently picked up in Santiago.  I didn't seek medical assistance and the problem cleared up in on its own during that sunny, healthful week.

I shot baskets, baloncesto, several times that week near a main town square.  It was all very picturesque; nobody else was on the court;  I remember Puerto Montt as a pretty city.

Checking the four-season climate today at the city's Wikipedia page, the summers are mild with the daytime highs each month averaging under 20 degrees Celcius and under 70 Fahrenheit.  It's cooler in the summertime than closeby inland areas due to ocean breezes.  Winters seem mild, according to the statistics I viewed.

Go that far south .. and it becomes an enormous trip to travel back to most places in North America.  Just sayin'.

I would like to find a small piece of land near or on the water.

Dear Arlogden,

1.  Rent, don't buy.  I would be glad to explain if asked.

2.  Two reasons to seek land with a water view, not directly on the water....

Water-view is typically less expensive.

Direct-on-the-water property is in jeopardy of the disastrous effects of what water can do.  I found this out when I was attempting to acquire a house on land along a pond in upstate New York.  From my layman's observation, the property appeared solid.

Fortunately, my mother's part-time housekeeper lived nearby the property .. and knew that there had been water problems on it.  The house was actually resting on a swamp. This scotched the deal.

The seller's real estate agent had not disclosed the deficiency and may not have been obligated to so disclose. 

I ended up buying a house away from any waters, in Fairfield County, CT, where no water problems occurred.
