If you’re looking for privacy, room to breathe and the perfect canvas to great your dream oasis in the jungle, look no further!  Nestled on 2500 square meters in the heart of the lush tropical jungle in the Zona Urbana area of Puerto Morelos, Mexico, this new listing boasts over 3000 square feet of indoor living space, including 4 spacious bedrooms and 3 modern baths.

The Home

Life in the Caribbean is all about celebrating nature and the temperate climate with indoor/outdoor living, and this home offers just that!

As you walk in, you are greeted by a wide open kitchen/dining/living area framed with a wall of floor to ceiling glass sliders showcasing the breathtaking beauty of the surrounding jungle, and providing a seamless transition from indoor to outdoor living.

The open floor plan kitchen/dining/living area is perfect for gathering with family and friends, with plenty of space to relax and unwind.  The kitchen is a very traditional minimalist Mexican style kitchen, with plenty of counter space, a spacious island, updated appliances and there’s even a spot for a dishwasher.   Both the dining and living areas are casually elegant and great for private moments or gatherings with your people.

Designed to maximize privacy and “zen”, the home is cleverly designed with the gathering space in the middle and the bedrooms on either side of the living space.  At the south end of the home is a large primary suite that can soon be your own private sanctuary, with amazing views from the windows – an en suite bath, large closet and even an extra office space with glass sliders and lots of extra storage.  Immerse yourself in the relaxing tropical surroundings.

On the other end of the home, you’ll find two generously sized guest bedrooms – both with amazing windows and nicely sized closets.  These bedrooms share a modern bathroom (with a tub!).  At the far north end is another large primary bedroom with an en suite bath and sliders out to the lush tropics just outside.  The laundry room is spacious and has a separate entrance.

Don’t let the natural beauty of this location fool you – this home is hooked up to city electricity and you can easily access internet service, making it the perfect blend of modern convenience and natural beauty.

The Land

Forget drippy rainforests full of scary beasts – the jungle here is magic, cool and gorgeous!  You’re much more likely to see colorful parrots and monkeys than scary beasts.  If you’re a bird watcher (and aren’t we all, as we age?) this is the place to be.  The birdsong is incredible.  Bursting with flowering tropical trees and bushes, sky high palms and other delights – once you have immersed yourself here, you won’t want to leave!  The current owners have left a blank canvas for you to create your own dream oasis — want a gorgeous pool surrounded by palms?  Perhaps a guest cabana, an outdoor kitchen, a palapa covered patio strung with sparkly lights?  There’s plenty of room for all of that.  If you’re a gardener – this is paradise.  Imagine the fruit and vegetables you can grow out here!

Known as the hidden gem of the Mayan Riviera, Puerto Morelos delights with its wide, white beaches, vibrant town center, lively restaurant scene, charming shops and local artisan markets.  While it is just 20 minutes south of the Cancun International Airport and approximately 25 minutes north of Playa del Carmen, the vibe in Puerto Morelos is a million miles away from these tourist towns.

Easy access to the Cancun Airport and the rest of the Riviera Maya and Yucatan Peninsula has made Puerto Morelos an ideal spot for travelers and folks looking to relocate full or part time.  The community is warm and welcoming, and there’s plenty to do if just relaxing on the beach with a good book and a cocktail is not enough for you!  Although Puerto Morelos is no longer completely under the radar, the charm remains.  If you visit, you’ll know!
