The amount of beach in front on this property is amazing and rare in the area (43 meters, or 141-feet from the house to the high tide mark), and the views go on forever.
This is a cute 2-bedroom, 1-bath home that sits on a 9,009 sq. ft. lot, so there is plenty of space to add on, install a pool and create lush tropical gardens.
Within 1,500 sq. ft. of living space, the home features an open floor plan with unique, original pasta tiles throughout, a large kitchen and storage galore. Both bedrooms have windows facing the ocean.
New aluminum windows with interior protectors bring the ocean view and cool breeze inside every room.
There is also an outdoor bodega used as a laundry room and for storage. An expansive carport keeps vehicles out of the hot sun. Water is provided by either the property's well or municipal water lines.
Situated in a very quiet area between the small fishing villages of Chelem and Chuburna, the beaches are virtually empty most of the year. Take a morning walk and come home with a bag full of seashells without seeing a soul.
There is a 15-foot -long beachside, covered patio to enjoy a cup of morning coffee while watching sea birds dive for their breakfast. A short sea wall divides the yard and is perfect for keeping a pet confined on the property and keeping sand at bay on windy days.
Both Chelem and Chuburna are dotted with small grocery stores, hardware stores, a fresh fish market, and produce markets. Freshly-made tortillas are available on almost every corner.
Locally-owned restuarants serve fresh seafood dishes daily. There are a few eateries owned by ex-pats for those hungry for homemade lasagna, barbecued ribs, and other comfort food.
Progreso is about 15 minutes away and offers plenty of shopping and dining opportunites. Cruise ships stop there a couple times a week.
The city of Merida, capitol of the Yucatan, is a short 45 minutes away on a major highway. The city offers culture, chain stores like those found in the U.S. and Canada and an international airport.
Many people dream of living on the beach but don't think it is affordable. Only $159,000 USD will buy a slice of paradise in the safest region of Mexico.
