our native country in case we decided to retire there. If we both USC then
we have to sell our property in less than 1 year.

John Smith?

Shite beer.

But not any such restriction imposed that I am aware of.

Not from the US, from the home country.
I recall reading about such a restriction for Thailand--if the Thai citizen takes up US (or any other?) citizenship, they are no longer allowed to own a piece of the motherland.
A'course, I could've misremembered this, but maybe that is what the OP was referring to.

So where does "John Smith" hail from?
