A beachside getaway
If you want to buy in Asia , then a beachside holiday home represents very good value , although you would need to carefully look at what you are allowed to buy in each country .
$ AU1 million is approximately 24 million Thai baht . In Phuket , you can get a luxury hillside villa for this price . In Indonesia , that same million will get 10,405 million rupiah which would get you a similarly beautiful villa close to the beach in Canggu .
In Australia , you can definitely buy into a beachside suburb but you are unlikely to get a new luxury villa for the price . Pelican Waters on the Sunshine Coast recently hit that price point and the weather is likely to be just as nice .

A country mansion
Rural Europe is pretty nice , but there are also some pretty nice places in rural Australia . The main difference is that in Europe , you get a castle . In Australia , you would get something potentially as large but certainly not as historical . I don ’ t know much about the predominantly rural Auvergne region of France but for $ AU1 million , you can certainly get a lot of house on a lot of land , more specifically a 16th century manor with two towers .
For $ 1 million in Australia , you could get into inland parts of northern New South Wales . Mullumbimby currently has a median of $ 988,000 . Close to Melbourne , Macedon has just recently clicked over to the $ 1 million median mark .
