Here in Tulum, you'll find some of the world's finest white powder beaches...backed by palm trees that rustle in the Caribbean breezes... and you'll find the world-famous Sian Ka'an biosphere reserve, too. It's a special place to spend time.
A 15-minute drive from the white sand and sparkling turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea, where I spent last weekend, you'll find a one-of-a-kind project called Los Arboles de Tulum. I negotiated a special off-market deal here where you can buy a five-acre lot at a discount to list price, with interest-free finance for two years
I'm recently returned from Tulum on Mexico's Caribbean coast. These white sands are deservedly regarded as among the top five beaches on earth. I've told you about the opportunity to buy condos pre-construction in an established high-end community called Tao that's close to here. And if you have been a member for a couple of years, you will recall the opportunity to buy five acres of pristine jungle in an eco-community at Los Arboles de Tulum. I'm here to review progress at these projects.
The Preserve is a project perched above the water in Costa Rica's stunning lake country of Arenal. You can buy a lot with a 10% down payment. The balance is financed interest-free over 10 years (120 equal payments).
I've told you before about Rancho Santana on Nicaragua's south Pacific Coast. This is the community with five beaches, 2,700 acres and more than two miles of coast. (International Living's parent company is the owner and developer.)
Last month, 13 of your fellow members gathered at the Pacific Lots project in Costa Rica’s Southern Zone. They had two price lists: one for all the inventory at the project; the other, a special list of lower prices for our little group on 14 handpicked lots.
Nestling in an Ecuadorian valley just 30 minutes northeast of downtown Quito is the upscale neighborhood of Cumbaya looks and feels North American. You’ll appreciate its conveniences. But it mightn’t be the Ecuador you expected. Buying land here was the play a decade ago. Today, it’s country club living for the well heeled. The development of Quito’s valleys is set to go in another direction with a new highway connecting you to both Quito’s Old Town and the conveniences of Cumbaya.
I’m writing to you because…having followed this market closely for the past nine years…through boom and bust...there never has been a better time to buy a colonial home in Granada.
I'm looking at stalled villas to see if, because of the situation here in Greece, we can pick one up on the cheap. In picturesque Northeastern Crete, while prices are down by 30% from boom time peaks, there is none of the fire selling that we see in Ireland and Spain.
Greetings from the idyllic Greek islands. Looks like a pretty exclusive place to live...over on that island... I doubt the most recent residents would agree. I'm here to see if there's opportunity here today. And if not, to determine what might trigger such an opportunity.
