Orquidea Edge | 3 Bedroom Signature Home in Tulum Country Club

The house

Orquidea Edge is a single family house of 253.4 m² (2,728 ft²) over two floors, with three bedrooms, four full bathrooms and one half bathroom. A further 179.2 m² sits outside the walls as terrace, garden and pool deck, putting the plot at 432.6 m² across the two. Four full bathrooms against three bedrooms is more plumbing than a three bedroom house usually carries, and it is the clearest thing separating this model from the rest of the Signature range.

Layout

The ground floor plan runs kitchen, dining and living the length of the house, with a covered outdoor dining area and the pool along one side and a lawn beyond them. A bedroom with its own bathroom sits behind the covered parking, which takes two cars, and a guest toilet sits by the stairs. The upper floor plan shows the remaining bedrooms and bathrooms, a further sitting area and a terrace on the pool side.

A street facing position

Edge means a street facing position in Las Flores, the village that holds the Signature homes. Street facing land starts at $237,680 USD, against $182,520 USD for an interior lot and $392,433 USD for a golf view. The premium over an interior lot is about $55,000 USD of land, not anything added to the house.

How the price is put together

The developer quotes the build at $13,300,000 MXN. That is the house on its own, land not included. The $1,018,700 USD here is our arithmetic, not the developer's: the peso build converted at about 17.03 pesos to the dollar, roughly $780,975 USD, plus $237,680 USD for the cheapest exterior lot in Las Flores. The peso figure is the developer's and the conversion moves with the rate, so read the USD number as indicative. The lot is a separate purchase, so any other lot changes the total.

The estate around it

Tulum Country Club is a gated estate about fifteen minutes from Tulum, off the Carretera Federal 307 at Akumal. The PGA Riviera Maya golf course runs through it, with a clubhouse, an academy and a practice range, and there is a beach club on the coast. The full list of facilities sits under amenities.

Not built yet

Construction has not started. Every image here is a developer render and the brochure marks them illustrative, which is the honest word. Finishes, planting and furniture are indicative rather than contractual.

Orquidea Edge is the largest of the three bedroom Signature houses, and the bathroom count is most of what the extra buys. A family of four will not notice it. A house that takes guests in rotation will.

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.
