Alto Vista Real Estate Buying the home of your dreams

My parents have been visiting Aruba over 25 years, simply because they fell in love with this beautiful tropical island, says Anne Staal, realtor at Alto Vista real estate. 15 years ago they bought a home to make it their ultimate vacation dream house, but they ended up extending their stay. It hasn’t been any different for me; I call both the Netherlands and Aruba home, having recently bought the house of my dreams. As a professional licensed realtor, graduated and working for a while in the Netherlands, after which I “moved back”, so to speak, to Aruba, I can say that after 12 years I understand what motivates people to buy or sell real estate. At Alto Vista Real Estate we know our customers and our market. Our team consists of local agents with different cultural backgrounds and with a profound knowledge of buying selling, renting and investing in real estate. To me Aruba is a prefect island to invest in real estate. Despite the world wide crisis the housing market has been stable, not plummeting into a negative downward spiral. Of course the effect here were also felt, but differently. In fact I think that investing in real estate will grow, because of Aruba’s location, culture and quality as a vacation destination. The market is still moving, the players have changed. Before 2007, the main investor looking to buy a home or invest in Aruba would have been an U.S. customers, because of the direct flight to cities in the U.S.A., the convenience of having U.S. customs at the airport, making each trip a domestic flights and the presence of familiar American brands. But there’s been a downfall in numbers because of the crisis hitting the U.S.A. so hard. Right now hand we see an influx of Latin American customers who are discovering the benefits of owning a vacation home (and a source of rental income) on a tropical island virtually around the corner.

close to the white beaches and azure ocean. Plus shopping , entertainment and food wise, there is an abundance to choose from. My personal experience of buying real estate wasn’t any different. I have bought a piece of paradise, where I can create the home for my family. The lush tropical garden with colorful flowers and shrubs in different shades of green, to me was a big selling point. Being quite homely, I enjoy being at home with friends, family and of course our puppy, Baba. After all don’t we all sometimes want to go home, shut the door and shut out the world for a while? Whether it is lounging alongside a colorful tiled pool, hosting a bb party or just kicking back and enjoy a large siesta in the shade.

And Europeans, es“I could not imagine not living close to the white beaches pecially Dutch, I find, and azure ocean.” Enjoying the live we with our loved ones are looking differently and making the most of each day. Aruba at Aruba. To them is the prefect tropical combination where real state and dream home Curacao is the Dutch “tropical dream island”, but as it goes with any go hand in hand, whether it is to culture, more and more people want something distinguishing them spent a nice relaxing vacation, to from the mass public, even if it’s an only an island away. enjoy your retirement or as an investment for your family. And who can blame them? Located outside the hurricane belt with constant tropical temperatures and cooling trade winds and with international flights arriving daily are certainly a plus.

Dera Gai

Celebrating the abundance of the earth.

One of the most unique festivities of Aruba is the celebration of Dia di Dera Gai. On June 24th (or St. John’s Day), the traditional day to bury the rooster. Although many activities will start before this date. This celebration has it’s origin amongst pagan Indians centuries ago in Southern Mexico on the border of Guatemala. It really started as an agricultural rounding off of the harvest and starting with a next cycle of planting. The Indians, living close to nature, tried to please the gods to ensure the next years harvest. Traditionally they would worship the Sun, as the source of light, and thus fire would be a sacred way to cleanse and purify.

mystical qualities and fire would clean out or ward of any evil. So the bonfires usually light up near the homes (den sabana), on the23rd of June, the eve of St. John’s birthday. On the 24th there would be all kind of games, like athleticprowess running and jumping.All these games should take place before four o’ clock; the“burial of the rooster”. (Deramento di gai) would take place before sunset. The rooster symbolizes virility and growth In a clearing with sandy soil, a hole would be dug.

A live young rooster then would be placed in the hole and it would be i song: covered with Lyrircs of the Dera Ga So when the earth had given its fruits in harvest, the remains of the half of a calabas ta Bai field were burned, to purify the field and to get rid of the remains (gourd) so that San Juan ta bin, San Juan (such as stemsor leaves) of the harvested crops.

Some Tips To Safely Celebrate Dera Gai Even though it might seem fun to have a bonfire. Fire is always dangerous and to avoid accidents please take enough precautions: Before you start • Never use flammable liquids like paraﬃn or petrol to get it going as this can result in uncontrolled spread of fire or explosion. • Check immediately before lighting that there’s no animal or even a young child hidden inside. • Never put fireworks on a bonfire, even if they’re dud. • Make sure there is enough clear space between any buildings and your fire. • Check to see where it wind is coming from • Keep fire extistingishers at hand • Don’t burn dangerous rubbish (e.g. aerosols, paint tins or foam-filled furniture). • Remove any rubbish from your bonfire area in advance so there’s nothing that can be thrown onto the fire on the night. When it’s all over The work for you doesn’t end after the bonfire is over.The bonfire needs to be put out completely, to prevent reigniting of the flames.

An Abundance of Plants Santa Rosa

When you think of Aruba and plants, for most people the first image that comes to mind is the famous DiviDivi tree, or the pure white beach, close to the azure blue ocean. Or perhaps you think of the Aloe fields, close to Aruba Aloe Farm, one of the famous export products of Aruba. And who can forget the Cacti, abundant in their presence around the North Coast and Aruba’ s National park, Parke Arikok? But Aruba has more plant life then you might expect. True, Aruba’s soil is not one of the fertile lavish lava earth, like other islands in the Caribbean, but the unique combination of being an island that has formed as a plateau, still provides plenty of diversity for different species.On Aruba you can find patches of sand, to limestone, quartz diorite and sometimes clay.

As Aruba is located only 12 degrees north of the equator, we are blessed with tropical temperatures that on average never drop below 25 degrees Celsius(77 F). Combined with our almost ever blowing trade winds this creates a tropical climate that is home to plants that can adore long hours of direct sun, constant wind and little water. So it’s no wonder that Cacti and Aloe are popular in landscaping gardens, because of their low maintenance.In fact, the o so popular Divi tree, is actually a Fototi tree (related to a mangrove species), that has been pounded by the trade winds into its characteristic shape.

Geology students visits the island to practice their field skill because of the different geological formations that can be found. Local plants

Think of it as a willow, that when grown carefully will become a bonsai tree. Did you also know that the Divi (Fofoti) tree has no spikes, whereas the Acacia tree that looks and grows similar has an abundance of them? Another famous tree is the Kibrahacha that blooms between April and May with an abundance of yellow blossoms.

Funnily in Curacao and Bonaire the treelike cactus is called Datu and the lone Cactus is called Kadushi.

Because of their shape single Cacti were often used as natural hedges, creating a living mini ecosystem, where wildlife and other plants would thrive. Over the past few years, the public’s attention has been shifting to go greener; not only by using less energy, but also focusing on ways how to create a more sustainable living environment. For instance, developers and architects have been creating with the natural features, like a bolder or a group of Cacti, instead of planning a complete different design.

More and more people are opting to re-use water from their septic tank or installing grey water systems and advanced drip systems that are effectively delivering water to the roots of the plants, making it easier to create a garden with water loving plants and trees. Banana ( both the green and yellow are often planted close to the washing machine watering outlet, since both plants don’t mind full sun yet love the phosphate rich water. The second thing most plants (and especially fruit trees or vegetable plants) need is shelter from the sun. By planting trees, or actually shrubs, since most trees do not grow high because of the sun and the trade winds, you can create a cooler place for your plants to thrive. Some people use netting that will allow for the winds to cool, but takes away the intensity of the sun. As a rule of thumb most plants still need two years of regular watering. As we are the Department of Agriculture, we focus on helping local farmers and preserving Aruba’s fauna. We grow local plants to preserve their heritage and over the years we have seen an increase of people visiting us and buying plants. We are famous for our famer’s market.

People are creatures of habit. Looking at the way the buildings have evolved on the former Dutch Antilles, you can see that the more colonial style homes are reminiscent of the traditional European way, with their tiled saddle roofs. Since the trade ships needed ballast, the (inexpensive yet heavy) tiles were shipped here while the precious spices and salt journeyed back to Europe. Some basics here. Maybe you remember the sun turns between two imaginary circles that cut the world horizontally and the earth is

Aruba Hearth & Garden Monthly June 2013 tiled at an angle while turning around its axe. The farther away from the horizontal center (equator), the less intense the sun’s rays and hours of daylight. The sun rises in the East and sets in the West. The axes that the sun moves in between are called tropic of Cancer and of Capricorn (Southern hemisphere). The sun passes twice the equator, once around March 21 and once again around September 21 and when this happens the sun will cast no shadow. Normally the sun’s shadow cast north at noon.When the sun reaches either Tropic, it’s the height of summer for that part of the world. (If you are living north of the equator the longest day of the year is around June 21, south of it it’s around December 21) Since Aruba is only 12.19 degrees North of the equator, the sun’s force can become quite intense, especially when she passes directly above around May 8 and September 21. A funny coincidence is that you can actually see the sun move along it path. Especially during December and February it seems like the sun sets on a different place.

me the challenge is to find different ways. We all know its cooler in the shade. Yet when building a home, the landscaping is usually left to last. Did you know you can reduce your energy cost by simply planting a tree in front of your window? By reducing direct sunlight on your windows, you can reduce your energy cost. You can also create shade with awnings or, like in the old days, shutters in front of your window, which will still let the cooling breeze through. Specialty window dressing may also be an option. For the” Cocolishi” (the extension of our parliament) we created extended roofs to shade the glass façade and it was calculated we would save around 8% in energy costs.

To withstand the constant tropical and sometimes really hot climate, simple solutions were used ( remember those where the no air-conditioning days). Thick wall and small windows to keep the cool air in and the hot air out. Since the trade winds almost constantly blow North East, the homes were located with mayor ventilation (doors and windows) away from the sun’s daily path and into the wind. And Each day brings us new solutions and ideas and by combining some even inside the homes the bedrooms were located on the east (windy) old and something new we can build together a sustainable future so side. Did you notice most older homes are almost always at an angle we can dream and live in paradise. from other newer homes?

Curtain Call

The solution for your windows. Close your eyes and think of light flowing from crisp white curtains framing the view of our beautiful azure blue ocean. Or think of modern shades made of those clean materials that keep out the heat, yet filter the light to a delightful ambiance. Curtains or the current virtually endless options in fabrics or materials, window solutions, are essential to creating atmosphere, whether it’s at home or in your office. It’s funny how a window solution can set the mood for a whole room. Roman, honeycomb or rolling, horizontal or vertical shades will add a touch of simple efficiency. Lush long embroidered drapes will instantly add warmth and coziness to an empty space. Yes, the ruffles from the past have moved on to rich washable fabrics that complement a room rather than smothering it. A pattern or bright colors in the fabric can lighten up a dull room in an instant. Somehow

with the right window solution a living room feels more like home and your children’s room more a magic recluse, then just as room.

And of course, at Curtain Call you can find anything that accents window dressing, like bars, trims, tabs and tiebacks. When people come to Curtain Call, they know they want quality, but the abundance of choice can sometimes be overwhelming. That’s why we help our clients with a personalized consult in our showroom and try to see the best fit of window dressing for our customer’s interior. We deliver quality.

Cas Decora A traditional cunucu home

One of Aruba’s monuments is this lovely cunucu home at Boegeroei 18. Built in 1945 by Johan Cornes assisted by his brothers that both were masons, the home is located on a spacious lot. Their cousin, Pedro Giel, painted the roof red. The decorations, so typical for Aruba, were created by their uncle Janchi Giel. Even though during the years there have been made modern adjustments to the Cunucu home like new door and window frames and glass panes ( which have no historic value), the home is considered an beautiful example of the “Cas Decora”. Also additional is a large cistern to collect rainwater that considering the exterior suspension of the tubing wasn’t originally planned when building the home. On an archive picture of the home, kindly provided by the current owner, it clearly shows no cistern. We can only assume that even then people became aware of water re-use. The same picture gives an accurate “ The beautiful decorations are typical for a Cas Decora..” image of how the home looked ing the windows. You can even see the swing gate at the corner porch before more modern updates were plus gas bottles, giving away the modern done to the home. For instance ridge, twill lines and the decorative spheres (pirons) on the roof were painted a bright white and the home date of the picture. seemed to be a darker color then the decorative signs, which currently Special thanks to Mrs. Yvonne Webb-Kock is the other way around. Director Office of Monuments Aruba On the pictures you can also see a wooden paneled door, also known as “Saya cu dèki” was the main entrance and the double shutters cover-

The Typical Country Homes Cas Decora

Aruba has about 300 country houses. These typical country houses In his book “Millefiori di Aruba” , father Nooyen states, that the first referred to as “Cas Floria” or Cas Decora” (Cas = house and Floria = house that used this type of decoration was the house of Bernardo flower) or Flower decorated houses. Eman Croes in Pos Chiquito in 1920. There are believes that these decorations are Indians markings; however, these decorations are purely imaginative. “ The decorations were used to ward oﬀ evil” Decorations of this sort are no longer utilized by present day builders, but can still be seen on many old typical Aruban country houses. But using Dr. Johan Hartog’s book “Aruba, breve historia” as referFirst house decorated ence material, he writes that in 1820 some Masons from Curacao Country houses can be seen especially in Pos Chiquito, Sabana Baso- started with this type of decoration in Aruba. If we take a third book ra, Sta. Cruz, Paradera, Noord and in the country side of Aruba. as reference, the book “The decorated house in Aruba” by Ito Tromp,

Aruba Hearth & Garden Monthly June 2013 he stated that after he was confused with two different year mentioned, he decided to ask Julio Maduro, a well know Aruban historian. Julio Maduro told him that around 1880, Johannes (Janchi) Wolff, started with the decoration of houses and that Janchi himself said, he learned this trade from his grandfather, who in former times built the first lighthouse at California Point. So we can conclude that Johan Hartog was right that the first houses were decorated around 1820, but that some Masons came from Curacao and introduced flower decoration is something that must be verified. The designs and its origin Mr. H.J. Mulder made a paper (study) with the title”De vermoedelijke herkomst van De Heksentekens van Aruba” or “The Presumable origin of the flower decoration in Aruba”. In this paper he rules one by one out from where these decorations came. In the past there were stories that these designs had a certain type of voodoo, meant to keep away the ghosts of the Indians, but these stories vanished. Also that these decorations came from Indians was ruled out. That the Masons came from Curacao and introduced these decorations was ruled out as well. This is because the decoration work done by the Masons on the country houses (Landhuizen) in Curacao were very nice, but these decorations were different from the Aruban typical country houses. So if all the above stories were not quite right, where did these designs come from and what is their origin? Mr. H.J. Mulder made a more in depth study of the origin of these

Aruba

Hearth & Garden Monthly ree The F#1 Guide for Living in Paradise!

designs, but to make a long story short, the conclusion is that it was not the Indians, but immigrants from Europe that came to Aruba and probably introduced these decorations. All Mr. Mulder’s theory mentioned in his paper can be found in the Arubiana department. As our Cultural Heritage As we stated above, the flower decorated Aruban country houses were probably introduced by immigrants, and were adapted by Arubans and some Arubans made their own creations based on what they had copied. In his book “The decorated house in Aruba”, by Ito Tromp, he gives a resume of family traditions in which Janchi Christiaans started to cut the molds of zinc plates and carton. Also Janchi Christiaans had his own creation and system while Leoncio and Bonifacio Henricus, produced their own fantasy, and this is what made these decorations so popular, because lots of people could convert their imagination into expressive art. This form of art must be seen today as part of Aruban’s cultural heritage and I hope that we can save guard this tradition This is a free edition for future generations.

Getting Rid of Your Waste If there’s one thing, no household is without, that’s a waste bin. In Aruba, almost each home has one of SERLIMAR’s mini-containers, completely black or black with a blue lid. Every day of the week, between 6 a.m. and 8 p.m., their trucks, drive designated routes to pick up the household waste and dispose of it at Aruba’s official landfill, located at Parkietenbos.

Aruba Hearth & Garden Monthly June 2013

Buying at an Auction We’ve all have seen the announcements in the paper or heard about uncle Joe who bought his dream home at an auction. Then again, very spooky tales are told about buying not your money’s worth. So how does an auction work? The most common way to buy a home is between making up an agreement the purchaser and the seller, with or without the help of a realtor. In some cases however homes are auctioned off. This is called a so called a foreclosure (or in Dutch “Vrijwillige of Executoriale Veiling”)Buying foreclosures is an art and does not mean you will get a deal. If you are not sure, it’s better to ask professional advice from a real estate agent. A foreclosure can be voluntary, but will frequently take place by order of ` the bank. If the bank is of the opinion that a customer can no longer meet its obligations, she can commission a notary to proceed to a public sale of the house or land on which a right of mortgage has been established. In such a case it is also said that the bank “proceeds to execute”, hence the term “Executoriale Veiling”. You can find the terms of these auctions at any notary office. Any one is free to attend an auction, if you are thinking of buying, be sure to comply with the rules. ( Usually they are published together with the Auction information) At foreclosure by auction generally the possibility exists for a certain date (that it is mentioned in the notice of the foreclosure) of bringing out an offer. People who are interested in a specific object can submit a written offer to that foreclosure to the notary handling the concerned foreclosure. This offer is transmitted trough the notary to both the creditor (in most common cases the bank) and the debtor. If the offer is accepted, then the foreclosure sale is revoked. If the offer is rejected, it is expected that at the foreclosure the object will produce more then the offer made. If the foreclosure is initiated by the mortgage holder, then it makes a difference to the procedure that is followed. Moreover there will apply always particular foreclosure conditions. These are possible among other things are related to the nature of the foreclosure. It is very important in advance of taking knowledge of the general and particular foreclosure conditions.

“An auction is a different way to buy real estate; you’re more then welcome to assist as a spectator.” The foreclosure is built up out of two parts: the foreclosure at bidding and the foreclosure at junction or Dutch auction (Afmijning). Participants bid openly against one another, with each bid being higher than the previous bid. The auction ends when no participant is willing to bid further, or when a pre-determined “buy-out” price is reached, at which point the highest bidder is provisionally granted the object. This is kind of the suspense part of the auction. If nobody bids, the property is taken off the list and noted as unsold. So if you are waiting to get the lowest price, it might just happened, you played your cards wrong.

Then the second part of the auction takes place. The notary adds to the highest bid a sum that has been predetermined with the creditor. The notary begins with a high asking price, which is lowered with equal amounts, e.g. 100.000 AFL until some participant is willing to accept the auctioneer’s price, by calling out “mijn” (Mine ass the possive of me) Hence the term “Afmijnen”. This part is also referred to as Dutch Auctioning, since this way of auctioning off is traditionally common on the flower and fruit auctions in Holland Especially this part is quite tricky. If you have a certain amount in mind and someone else calls just before you “Mine”, the object is sold to someone else. This can be a nerve-racking matter. You can have a certain amount in mind, for which you want to buy, but if someone else calls before you, that person is the purchaser or “Afmijner”. Particularly for inexpert foreclosure purchasers, the afmijnen can be a nerve-racking matter. Too early afmijnen results in paying more than planned A foreclosure is never without dangers! If you are not quite sure, you can ask a third party, like a realtor to assist you. The amount that has been “Mined” is put on top of the highest bid and is the closing amount to pay. If no one has called mine, the notary, at a committed sum, will hammer the auction off. It is likely to think that the highest bidder or the “Afmijner” will now be the purchaser of the object.This isn’t always the case. With in the general conditions, the foreclosure seller can stipulate various conditions, under witch an object maybe granted. Or the so-called purchaser can be acting out of a third party. (e.g. a realtor)When everything is agreed upon, and when all costs involved, like the purchase price and additional fees are paid, the notary will draw up a so-called certificate of discharge, in which is observed that all has been paid by the purchaser. The property title of the object is obtained when the notary registers a copy (duplicate) of a set of notarial deeds consisting of the individual deed of special conditions, if any, the record(s) of opening bid and Dutch auction, the deed of assignment, if any, and the instrument of mandate, if any and the certificate of discharge with the land register.
