Why this property? Tough question, easy decision.
Our dream was to have a boat, or a home abroad, but not just where everyone has something, such as Spain, France or Italy, which did not attract us, we wanted something different. We drove around Curacao with a broker, and just when we said it wasn’t there to find either, the broker asked if he could still show us 1 more home, which lay actually above our budget. He stopped in front of the villa, I watched my wife and that moment we knew already this would be it, and it also became ours. The house is located with a wonderful breeze, and has everything it should have: tranquility, beauty, especially the open space attracted us, and a swimming pool. I was immediately ready to buy and decorate.
We wanted the villa also to have a name, yet with a bit of an Antillean sound. We had the villa baptized NOUKASA for the first letters of our daughters, Nouchka, Kathinka, and Sarina; in Antillean or Papiamento it sounds as “noukaasa” translated “OUR HOUSE”, pure coincidence in fact, and it got immediately accepted.
