Beautiful Home for Sale, Yucatan Mexico

This is an unbelievable price reduction on a BRAND NEW HOME! Are you dreaming of a slower lifestyle in sunny Mexico? This is a must see, it is new construction, not a reno and offers spectacular views and a large outside living area. There are 3 spacious bedrooms and 3 baths, large kitchen with cabinets and a 16 sq meter pool. The American style kitchen and dining area open directly to the courtyard allowing for easy entertaining

The home is designed to take advantage of tropical living here in paradise, it is designed around a lanai area, landscaped with royal palms and there is plenty of room for entertaining family and friends. The 2 upstairs bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms and private balconies that offer stunning views of the Gulf of Mexico and the lagoon that is known for its pink flamingos. Imagine, sitting on your private balcony with a frosty drink watching flocks of Yucatan flamingos flying over! The terraces also overlook the lovely courtyard and pool area. Downstairs is a studio bedroom with bath, which could easily become an office area.

The home has pressurized city water throughout and a separate well for the pool. There is 220V electricity installed in case you want to add air-conditioning. Is air important to you? Let me see if we can make a deal with the owner! The 12 meter by 40 meter double lot affords plenty of room for parking and more landscaping, whatever your dreams may be. There is already a trust in place for easy transfer. This well thought out home is designed to be open and airy and allow natural light.

This stunning home is the best in beach living, very close to the beach, but with no beach maintenance. Only 30 minutes away is the beautiful "City of Peace" Merida, the safest city in Mexico. Merida offers world class health care, culture, theatre and shopping. If you are looking at living a more tranquil, peaceful life in a small fishing village of friendly locals and ex-pats, this is the home for you!

Thinking of Buying a Yucatan Beach Home?



Don’t leave your brains at the border!  Buying a home is one of the most expensive purchases that you may make in a lifetime.  Even here in the Yucatan where homes are much more reasonable you want to enter the process with your eyes wide open.
If you are dreaming of a vacation home or a full time residence in the sun with views like this, keep reading.


Before you make your purchase here are a few questions that you will want to ask your realtor;
·        How many years has your company been in business?  New real estate “companies” open every day, do you want to work with an established company or a “newbie?”
·        How many sales does your company average in a year? It goes without saying that the more experience your realtor has, the smoother the buying and closing process is for you.
·        Can you provide me with referrals and phone numbers of satisfied and repeat clients?
·        How many years have you lived full-time in the Yucatan? A realtor that has only been here for a year or two is not going to have the knowledge of an established company.
·        How many properties do they have listed, a few of their friends and neighbors?  Or, do they offer homes in all areas and price ranges?
·        Is your company a registered company in Mexico? In order to do business legally in the Yucatan a company must be registered with the government, pay an accountant monthly and report all income received.  Our company is registered as an S. A. de C. V. so that all of our business transactions are legal and recorded.
·        Do they recommend a lawyer or a Notario?  All real estate deals must be researched by a Notario Publico.  This is very different position than a Notary in Canada or the US.  My next post will go into that more in depth.
·        Are they a full service company? Will they be there only for the sale? Or will they have a plan for aftercare assistance including bi-lingual concierges, airport pickup, rental car advice, property management, rental assistance; aid you in purchasing, food, furniture and decorative items?
