3 Bedroom House with Private Pool and Garden in La Veleta, Tulum

A modern house on three levels in La Veleta, a few minutes from the centre of Tulum, with three bedrooms, three bathrooms and a pool of its own in a private garden. It is built, finished and ready to move into.

The Ground Floor

Living room, dining area and kitchen share one open plan space under high ceilings, and the whole floor opens through full height glass doors onto a timber deck, the garden and the pool. A wall of natural stone rises beside the staircase, and tall, narrow windows pull light and greenery in from outside. It is a floor made for having people over.

The kitchen comes equipped, with an island carrying the hob and a breakfast counter, stainless steel appliances and timber cabinetry.

The Bedrooms

Three bedrooms on the levels above, each with built in wood closets, a ceiling fan and air conditioning. The principal bedroom has a full wall of timber fronted wardrobes with open shelving between them. One of the other two is currently set up with twin beds. The bathrooms are finished in polished concrete with cast basins.

The Finish

Wood and polished concrete throughout, white walls, tropical hardwood doors and planting all around the house. The setting is quiet and green.

La Veleta

La Veleta is the residential neighbourhood on the west side of Tulum, where many of the people who live in the town year round have settled. It is close enough to the centre to cycle, with restaurants, cafés and small studios filling in between the houses, and it remains one of the most accessible places in Tulum to buy a finished home.

Ownership

Tulum lies within Mexico's restricted zone, so foreign buyers hold title through a fideicomiso, a bank trust that gives foreign buyers full ownership rights, including the right to sell, let and leave the property to heirs.

Most of what sells under $300,000 in La Veleta is an apartment. This is a three bedroom house, with a pool and garden of its own.
