Areca | 3 Bedroom Model Home in Tulum Country Club

Areca is a two storey house of 198.77 m² of construction, 2,140 ft², on a total area of 324.74 m². Three bedrooms plus a studio, three full bathrooms and a half bathroom. A cantilevered balcony sits over the front door and a wood slat pergola shades the roof level above it.

How it is laid out

The configuration lists a living room, a dining room, a kitchen, a laundry, a family room, three bedrooms, three full bathrooms, a half bathroom and parking, with two cars drawn on the plan. One bedroom and a full bathroom sit downstairs. Upstairs are the principal bedroom with its own bathroom and a balcony, a second bedroom, a second bathroom and the studio.

The studio is the difference

Areca and Huaya sit $10,700 USD apart and answer the same brief in opposite directions. Huaya gives a service room and a 24.04 m² pool. Areca gives a studio and 28.64 m² of terrace against a 15 m² pool. One is a room for somebody who works for you. The other is a room for you to work in. Make that choice deliberately rather than on the $10,700. The pool here is a plunge pool and not a lap pool, and the terrace is where this house lives.

What the price covers

The house and the land are priced separately, and this listing combines the two. The developer's build price for Areca is $10,185,850 MXN, and that peso figure buys construction only. Converted at about 17.03 pesos to the dollar it is roughly $598,112 USD, and that conversion will move as the rate moves. To it we add $166,383 USD for the cheapest lot in the community, in Park Village, which is how the $764,500 USD shown here is arrived at. The developer does not quote that combined figure. A different lot changes the total, and the cheapest golf view lot in Las Flores is $392,433 USD.

Not yet built

Areca is a model home and it has not been constructed. Every image here is a developer render and illustrative, so the furniture, the planting and the vehicle on the driveway show intent rather than what gets handed over. Build time, specification and payment schedule come from the developer.

Where it sits

Tulum Country Club is a gated community by Bahia Principe Residences, about fifteen minutes from Tulum, off the Carretera Federal 307 at Akumal, built around the PGA Riviera Maya golf course. The clubhouse, the beach club, the schools, the spa and the commercial squares all sit inside the gates. It is an amenity led community rather than a walk into town neighborhood, and those fifteen minutes are the number to sit with before the floor plan is.

Financing

Bahia Principe Residences finances its own buyers, which is unusual in this market and is the reason a purchase here can be structured without going to a Mexican bank. The terms the developer publishes are a fixed rate of 5 to 7 percent, taken in pesos or in dollars, with no origination fee, from 30 percent down, and a reservation from $5,000 USD. They quote pre authorisation inside 24 hours and state that the decision does not touch your credit history. The credit sits with Piñero, the group behind Bahia Principe, and carries their guarantee.

Those are the developer's own terms and their own descriptions of them. They are subject to the developer's approval and to change, and the rate you are offered may not be the rate at the top of that range. Tulum Land and Property does not arrange, underwrite or guarantee credit and nothing here is an offer of finance. What we do is put you in front of their finance team and stay in the conversation.
