First let me start off with a disclaimer by saying I am writing this to be more informative than "salesy"--yes my purpose is to inform you about something and hopefully some sales will come of it later but I am doing it more for your information and general entertainment purposes.  Some of you reading this will find it very important to you and some may just find it interesting.  Either way I want to share with you the story of how I found a home near the beach for less than the price of a new sport utility vehicle.  If you are a person that has $150,000usd or more to spend on a condo or a home then the project I am going to tell you about is not for you.  The only exception would be someone wanting to buy several homes for investment.  Also, for your reference a 2008 Chevy suburban is around $45,000usd right now I looked it up.  The other thing I should preface this entire article with is that I am a regular guy while in my mid 30's decided I was tired of the rat race that is the USA and I decided to move to Mexico while I was still young enough to enjoy it.  I had been here many times each year since the early 90's and just made the choice to move to Mexico full time in early 2004.

Now The Story

My business partner and I met while working for the same real estate company.  I will not name the company but they only sell beachfront lots, no homes no condos or anything else, just lots on the beach.  I was there for nearly 3 years which gave me good experience and I made some money.  The problem was their prices were very inflated making it difficult to sell to any educated buyer.  I wanted something new and one Saturday my buddy and I wanted to get out of Playa Del Carmen for a day of exploring.  We ventured down to Akumal, Tulum, and Chemuyil.  We went to the beach, explored several cenotes, etc. and basically just had fun and made a day of it.  After checking out the little town of Chemuyil, Mexico (you must try Leo's Pizza at least once) we found something very interesting to both of us.  Just barely to the South of CHemuyil next to the highway we found a private subdivision of finished homes.  There are 234 homes there to be exact. The entire subdivision has power, city water, sewer and phone lines.  We drove through the entire place several times and looked at the homes. I would say 90% of these houses were vacant and never lived in.  These are all 2 bedroom 1 bathroom government built homes about 660 square feet all exactly alike in size, floorplan, etc.  Each on its own lot measuring 7.7 meters by 18 meters (3.2 feet in a meter fyi).  Again, the strange thing was that this place was like a ghost town.  The next day we returned to see if we could find someone to talk to and find out about these homes.  This time we had a third person with us whose first language is Spanish to help us out just in case we needed it.  If you are wondering about the timeline this happened in February 2007.

It seemed that out of the 234 homes only about 20 or so were occupied and out of those only maybe 12 or 15 were occupied full time.  We finally found someone home and found out that everything was controlled by the government in Chetumal (state capital of Quintana Roo).  We got a phone number and started trying to get an appointment with someone there to see if we could buy some of these homes.  Our original idea was to purchase 4 or 5 homes, each of us live in one and fix the other 2 up and sell them for a profit.  Then buy 2 or 4 more, and so on.  After 2 trips

Capella Bahia Maroma

With miles of white sand beaches, stunning natural beauty and biodiversity, world-class golfing, diving, fishing and dining, and a vast treasure trove of cultural and archeological wonders, the Riviera Maya is one of the world's favored destinations. Now for a limited time, a select inner circle has the opportunity to own a home in an exceptional private residential community at the heart of this fabled setting.

Capella Bahia Maroma is an exclusive collection of jungle haciendas, beachfront villas, golf estate homes, condominiums and an 86-villa Capella hotel, all designed by award-winning architect Pablo Serrano, whose work fuses the ancient past with modern Mexican sensibilities.

Located just 25 minutes from Cancun International Airport with direct flights from major U.S. and European cities, Capella Bahia Maroma is quite accessible. Yet with only 127 residences on 254 acres, the lowest density of any resort community on the Riviera Maya, it will also provide homeowners a very private retreat.

With a spectacular setting overlooking the Mexican Caribbean, the property features a one-mile beach for residents and guests, rated the best beach in the world by Discovery Network's Travel and Adventure Channel. It also will have the only private golf course in the Yucatan, the last course to be built on the ocean side of the Riviera Maya. Created by famed golf course designer Rees Jones, it includes three oceanfront holes and a 43,000-square-foot Golf Clubhouse.

The centerpiece of the property is the hotel, an 18,000-square-foot signature Auriga spa - offering the definitive experience for spa connoisseurs - and a lavishly appointed Beach Club, with infinity and tranquility pools and casually elegant barefoot dining.

Capella Bahia Maroma is the fulfillment of 30 years of planning by the Tommasi family of Grupo Carrousel. Their resume reaches back through three generations and features premier residential, commercial and hotel properties throughout Mexico, including some of the first resorts in Cancun. Seeking to create a community that embodies the very best of Mexico - architecture, cuisine, history, culture and ecology - the family has assembled an international team to breathe life into their vision.

Capella Hotel and Resorts, founded by legendary hotelier Horst Schulze, is partnering with Grupo Carrousel to ensure that Capella Bahia Maroma will be the finest resort community in Mexico and the world. Extraordinary, personalized lifestyle experiences and exquisite hospitality are the hallmark of a Capella environment. Every amenity is exceptional, with activities and pursuits thoughtfully shaped to individual preferences.

Capella Bahia Maroma Founder reservations are now being accepted for a limited release of 35 residences. RSVP today to benefit from this ground-floor opportunity to own a home in Capella Bahia Maroma, and to receive more information as the vision unfolds.
