Whether you’re building a home or planning your next big move, it all starts here.
There’s something powerful about owning land. It’s more than property—it’s potential. And here on Guam, it’s an opportunity to shape your own piece of paradise.
Whether you’re dreaming of a custom island home, building a farm, or investing for the future, purchasing land on Guam gives you a unique way to plant roots and grow something meaningful. Here’s what to know before taking that first step.
🏝 Why Buy Land on Guam?
Guam offers a rare mix of natural beauty, rich culture, and opportunity. Buying land here means:
- Creative Freedom: Design and build your home exactly the way you want it.
- Long-Term Investment: Land ownership can be a smart hedge against inflation and a foundation for generational wealth.
- Connection to the Land: Many local buyers choose land as a way to stay rooted in their village or family heritage.
📍Types of Land Available
From the rolling hills of Yigo to the ocean breezes of Umatac, Guam has diverse terrain. Common land types include:
- Residential lots: Ideal for home-building, often located in subdivisions or village neighborhoods.
- Agricultural land: Perfect for farming or a rural lifestyle.
- Commercial/undeveloped land: Great for investors with a vision.
Each lot will have different zoning restrictions—so it’s important to check what’s allowed before you buy.
🧭 Things to Consider Before Buying
Buying land is different from buying a house. Here’s what to keep in mind:
1. Zoning & Permits
Guam’s zoning laws will determine what you can build and how you can use the land. Always confirm the zoning designation (R1, A, etc.) and ask about necessary permits for construction.
2. Access to Utilities
Some lots come ready with water, power, and sewage access. Others may need additional work and costs to connect.
3. Topography & Survey
Not all land is build-ready. Steep slopes, dense jungle, or uneven terrain may require grading. Always request a recent land survey to confirm boundaries.
4. Title & Ownership History
Make sure the land has a clear title and no disputes. Work with a local real estate professional or attorney to review the deed, zoning, and any easements.
💼 Can Non-Residents Buy Land on Guam?
Yes, both residents and non-residents can own land in Guam. However, certain financing programs and property tax benefits may vary depending on your residency status.
🏡 Planning to Build?
After purchasing, the fun begins! Building a home on Guam involves working with local architects, engineers, and contractors. You’ll need a building permit and inspections throughout the construction process. It’s a great time to create a space that reflects your lifestyle and values.
