“Costa Maya Duplex Beach House & Cottage”



   This two story Caribbean Beach house is perfect for those looking for a peaceful, off the grid home with all the comforts of high speed internet, plenty of water & solar power with two backup generators. It sits 100 ft. from the clear blue waters of the Mexican Caribbean.  
   Situated 3.7 km south of the village of Xcalak, Q.R. Mexico, it is the southernmost house on the Yucatan peninsula and only 3 km north of the Belize border with 82' of private beach frontage and 836' deep. (1.5 acres)

                                                                                Xcalak is famous for world class fly fishing for Bonefish, Tarpon and Snook as well as diving the Meso Americanos Reef which sits 1,500 yards straight out from your patio and bedroom window. This is the second largest reef in the world & the largest in the northern hemisphere. It can be reached in ten minutes by one of our ocean kayaks. Many species of fish as well as lobster, crabs, conch and rays abound the reef. Snorkeling is fantastic for experienced and beginners alike. This picture was taken in January 2013, 200 yards in front of the house. Katie was one of our great guest in January of 2013.

"How you can purchase all or part of this property"
    The property is currently owned by a Mexican corporation of which we own 100% of the stock  unencumbered by debt or liens, the corporation has no other assets or liabilities, selling all or half of the property is very simple by transferring all or 50% of the stock in the corporation to you and creating a shareholders agreement based on the terms of the sale. It should not take more than 48 hours using an abagado (attorney) in Chetumal the capitol of Quintana Roo 2 hours away.

"What will it cost"
    To purchase the entire property will cost $219,000 US dollars; to purchase the downstairs duplex will cost $115,000; to purchase the upstairs duplex will cost $125,000. with either purchase you also obtain 100% use of of the entire property & amenities year round. You can live here year round and be able to rent the guest cottage which in most years has covered the entire cost of property upkeep. We are very easy people to get along with and will only be here for two months a year if we still own half.

"Basic description of the property"
    The property is 1.5 acres in size, it is 836 feet deep from the beach road to the Caribbean and with 82' of beach frontage, the lots on both sides of us for at least one mile are vacant so we are very private, safe and secure with a full Mexican Navy/Marine base 9/10 of a mile to the south. The town of Xcalak, 2 miles to the north is where you can find several beach bars and eating establishments and a few tiendas (small local stores) , Mahahual about 65 kilometers to the north is a bustling cruise ship destination with many restaurants and bars as well as tiendas for all your food and necessities. Major purchases can be made at Sam's Club, Walmart or one of many department stores in Chetumal about 100 miles away in the Mall of Americas. There are also many good deals to be had in the "Free Zone" in Belize. The property is part of an old coconut plantation which was subdivided 40 years ago into beachfront home sites thus yielding fresh coconuts year round to the extent that we are constantly giving them to the locals who make coconut ice cream bars, coconut cream and coconut oil. There are numerous other fruit trees on the property which we have planted and maintained over the years as well as several nut bearing almond trees which are native to the area.
