Pura Selva Casa Zara | 4 Bedroom Villa with Private Pool and Rooftop in Region 15, Tulum

Casa Zara sits inside Pura Selva, a gated enclave of just six houses in Region 15, where the jungle still closes in around the plots and the roads stay quiet. Four bedrooms and four bathrooms across two levels and a rooftop, 322 square meters of construction on a 320 square meter plot, completed in 2024 and handed over fully furnished. The pool runs the length of the garden, and the glass folds back until the distinction between the living room and the jungle stops meaning very much.

The House

The ground floor is given to an open concept living and dining area that opens directly onto the private garden, the pool and the outdoor patio. The kitchen is fully equipped and built around an island with seating, set so that whoever is cooking stays part of the room rather than shut away from it. A laundry room sits off the main circulation. Large windows run the depth of the plan, which is what keeps the interior bright through the day and gives every principal room something green to look at.

Four bedrooms occupy the two levels, each served by its own full bathroom. The rooms are finished in the register the house holds throughout: lime plaster walls, timber, woven pendants, jute underfoot, arched mirrors above stone basins. Several open directly to the garden or to the pool through full height sliding doors.

The Rooftop

Above it all is a rooftop terrace with a shaded palapa, a dining table and loungers, and a roof garden planted around the edges. From up here the canopy runs unbroken toward the coast. It is the part of the house that makes the strongest case for itself in the evening, when the heat drops and the light goes long across the jungle.

Pura Selva

Pura Selva is a private gated community of six exclusive houses, laid out at low density with the jungle left standing between them. The development has controlled access, internal private roads, 24 hour security and on site maintenance, and the houses are managed by an established Tulum property management company. That combination suits an owner who is not in Tulum year round, whether the house is used as a second home or placed into rental. Any return or occupancy figures quoted by the developer, the management company or third party portals should be verified independently before you rely on them.

Region 15

Region 15 sits between the town centre and the beach zone, which is the practical argument for it: you are close to both without committing to either. The area is still developing and is characterised by dense jungle, low density projects and a quiet that the more built up districts have lost. Restaurants, shops and services on Avenida Kukulkán are a short drive, and the beach road is a similar distance in the other direction.

Ownership and Costs

The property lies within Mexico's restricted zone, so foreign buyers take title through a fideicomiso, a bank trust conferring full rights of use, sale and inheritance. Establishing one is routine and your notary and bank will handle it as part of closing. Property tax runs at 14,188 pesos per year. Buyers should confirm current tax, maintenance and management charges in writing before closing.

Singular by the Jungle

What sets Casa Zara apart is not any one feature but the completeness of it. A house built in 2024, furnished and ready, with its own pool, its own rooftop, its own garden, inside a gate shared with only five neighbours, on a plot where the jungle was kept rather than cleared. Houses in Tulum that ask nothing further of the buyer are rarer than the listings suggest.

Viewings are by appointment.
