How Cuba’s communist elites live: $300,000 tacky mansion for sale in Havana

Hard as it is to believe, YouTube has a channel dedicated solely to real estate for sale in Cuba. Yes. Visit Casas en Venta Cuba and see for yourself. Today, the property at the top of the list — like all the others — is a house stolen from its rightful owners at some point during the nearly 66-year reign of the Castro dynasty. Who can afford the houses on this YouTube channel? Oligarchs, foreigners, and diaspora Cubans. That’s it. This channel is not for the vast majority of noble savages who currently inhabit the island of Cuba.

Never mind the bad taste and vulgarity on display. As the ancient Romans used to say: de gustibus non disputandum (issues of taste should not be argued about). This house reeks of privilege, thievery, and abuse of power. And, given that Castro, Inc. can steal it back with impunity at any moment., it’s also a very risky investment. Take a tour in the video link above. Warning: sensitive viewers may experience some nausea.

The sale of a three-bedroom, four-bathroom mansion in the Plaza de la Revolución municipality, Havana, has drawn significant attention in the Cuban real estate market. The property, valued at $300,000, features a spacious pool, terrace, and party area, and is located near José Martí Park, Acapulco Cinema, and 26th Avenue.

According to a social media marketing campaign by the YouTube channel Casas en Venta Cuba, the property, remodeled in 2017, spans 518 square meters and is secured by high stone walls and bars. Its imposing facade stands out in the neighborhood. The house includes a garage for one car, an independent entrance to the pool, and a main entrance.

Inside, the air-conditioned living room boasts modern decor, ceiling lights with border accents, and marble floors. Security is a key feature, with doors that open using fingerprint recognition or magnetic cards. The main bedroom includes a private sitting area, bathroom, walk-in closet, and a terrace with panoramic views.

The house also offers a 48-square-meter covered social area, ideal for family gatherings. The six-by-four-meter pool is equipped with a jacuzzi and a relaxation area. Additionally, the property features a storage room on the rooftop.

Its proximity to commercial and recreational areas makes this property an attractive option for investors looking to establish rental or tourism businesses. The price reflects both the luxury of the home and its prime location.

The aforementioned YouTube channel provides a full tour of the property. The video highlights every detail, from the garden to the bedrooms, and emphasizes the commercial potential of the house.

According to the promotion, the house is ready for occupancy or the launch of a tourism project. The pool requires a final coating to be fully operational. The sale is conducted directly with the owners, without intermediaries.
