Retired Couple Offers Dream Home in Mexico As Contest Prize

Online, August 28, 2009 (Newswire.com) - CHAPALA, Mex. - ChapalaDream.com, a new website created by a retired American couple, is asking writers to sharpen their pencils and enter a paid essay contest for the chance to win a gorgeous four-story home, with self-contained casita (small house), overlooking Lake Chapala. To add to the temptation, the home comes fully furnished, including an antique Eastlake bedroom set and a regulation pool table.

"We're really excited with this novel approach," said the owners and sponsors. By offering our home as the prize in an essay contest, we're able to advertise it globally rather than being bound by the usual limitations of a local real estate office. They're fine for most moves, but we wanted to reach an international audience because of the uniqueness of this area. We have a large ex-pat community from Canada, the United
States, and Europe, so the new owners will really have the best of all worlds. We're also Just a short forty-vie minute drive to downtown Guadaljara, Mexico's second largest City, and less than a thirty minute drive to the international airport. If the winners are unable to live full-time in Chapala, the home would make a very attractive rental, especially since the Pan American games come to Guadalajara in 2011. The water sports
will be held on Lake Chapala and demand for temporary housing will be very strong.

The contest runs from 1 September 2009 until 28 February 2010. To ensure every ticket has an equal chance of winning, an independent panel of three judges will select the winning essay. Each entry will be coded and all identifying information removed so that no one can influence the results. The grand prize winner will be announced on the website.
