Luxury Villa for Sale in Akumal, Q Roo, Mexico

Incredible Deal

This stunning 6,100 square foot home is situated on over half an acre of lush, tropical, well manicured lagoon front property. The open air styling of the home is very similar to the architecture on the island of Bali. The entire house is styled with nature in mind, incorporating the use of wood, stone, glass, and foliage, but very modern.

The home is located in the very private neighborhood of Yalku, a 5 minute drive, or 15 minute walk to Akumal Bay, where you can swim with turtles year-round. The neighborhood has a gated, private entrance and 24 hour guard. There is also a professional tennis court. The highlight of this neighborhood is the private entrance to the fabulous Yalku Lagoon. Boasting hundreds of species of tropical fish, the lagoon is a snorkeler’s paradise. This lagoon was featured in the September ’08 issue of National Geographic Travelers Magazine as one of Mexico’s top 50 secret locations.

Walking down the entry path to the home, one can not imagine the full beauty of this unique property. The atrium, planted with 4 species of Bird of Paradise, banana trees, mango, bougainvillea, etc... is enjoyed from the walkway and from the large glass hallway. Open the front door and be prepared to be astounded. The large entry-way opens to a magnificent living room crowned with an under lit cupola. The ceilings are 15 feet high. The furniture in the living room (as well as all of the rooms) was custom made for this house.

The living room opens to the patio and pool. Eight panel sliding glass doors bring the outdoors inside.

The living room, patio, and patio bar are wired with Boston speakers, as is the upstairs palapa, accessed by an outdoor spiral staircase. Imagine sitting upstairs in the open air looking at the Caribbean, the lagoon, or a fiery sunset.

The heated pool is 35'x20'. Sparkling Venetian tiles color the pool a perfect blue. An outdoor shower is conveniently located by the pool.

From the pool bar, walking 25', on your way to the lagoon, brings you to a large cenote surrounded by an elevated wood path.
