ChapalaDream.com are giving away a four-story holiday home in Mexico for $85 on their new essay contest website. In order to qualify, all you need to do is submit an essay in 100 words or less describing why you entered this contest when purchasing a ticket. The three bed / 2.5 bath property comes with its individual 'casita' (little house) and offers 5,400 square feet of living accommodation.

Situated 30 minutes away from Guadalajara and its international airport, the house offers spectacular views over Lake Chapala and its surrounding mountains. You can enjoy the world's second best climate (second only to Hawaii), buy fresh fruit and vegetables in the local tianguis (market) at a fraction of what you now pay and enjoy warm evenings on your very own balcony.

With property taxes of less than $82 a year, the running costs of this home are very low, making it a good holiday destination. The property can also be rented out during the year - together with its self-contained 'casita', which features its own bedroom/living room, bathroom and kitchen.
