Home and Guest House for Sale in La Tambora Beach, Mazatlan, Sinaloa, Mexico

Great Property at a Great Price! Offered at $150K

A gorgeous property for less than a condo in the city! Just 2 hours south of Mazatlan, in the beach side village of Teacapan, this home is set up for year-around living. Second to Mazatlan, this village is the most popular location in Sinaloa for North Americans. Fishing, ranching, agriculture and tourism are the main activities in Teacapan (pop. 3000). The village has restaurants, hotels, a pretty boardwalk, newly paved main street, wifi in the plaza, and numerous stores and services. A new health clinic has just been built. Live here in tranquility, but with easy access to a major city and international airport.

Terrific property includes 2-story main home plus large guest house, both with A/C. The main house comes with basic vacation home furnishings. Perfect for nature lovers, sportsmen, active retirees. Bring your extended family, or easily convert to B&B. This Mexican architectural gem is sited on a double lot (2000 square meters) in an established neighborhood approx 1 mile outside the village.

The main house (2240 sq. ft.) features saltillo tile floors, cedar cabinetry, arched brick ceilings, beautifully colored walls, new mini-split A/C, ceiling fans, arched windows and doors, and spiral stairs leading up to the awesome second floor. The upstairs is a "palapa" room with hand-built thatched roof. A versatile floor plan allows for 3 bedrooms downstairs and use of palapa room as an additional huge bedroom, exercise room, or whatever you wish. One downstairs bedroom can be used as office. The master bedroom can be completely private with large bath and separate door to the central courtyard. The second bath is also very large. An additional sitting area can be used as a library or TV room.

Dining room looks out on flower gardens, and the living room view is royal palms and lush front yard. The galley kitchen is true Mexican with tiled open cabinets, thick cedar shelves, and a garden window. Outside the kitchen is a thatched-roofed barbecue area for outdoor entertaining. The laundry room is only a few steps outside the kitchen.

The second-floor 25' x 16' palapa room has 8 windows overlooking the neighborhood and sliding glass doors opening to a full length patio. An artisan from the pueblo hand wove the new palapa roof and the thatch is almost a foot thick, providing a roof that is not only gorgeous but absolutely water-tight. The palapa room is multipurpose, with ceiling fans and water faucet and is wired for 220V.

Fully fenced and landscaped yard has four types of palm trees (but no coconuts to fall on your head), lime hedges, banana, and mango trees. Flowering shrubs include hibiscus, gardenia, bouganvilla.

The large guest house (860 sq ft) has full kitchen with cedar cabinetry. An open floor plan keeps the dining area and living room full of natural light, but separate from the bed/bath area. The large bedroom has a spacious wardrobe, wall-to-wall windows, A/C and ceiling fan. The house has it's own telephone line. A full bath, second smaller bedroom with separate entrance, and private patio space make this house a perfect guest retreat for family and friends.

Workshop and storage area (280 sq ft) is attached to new oversize 2 car garage (708 sq ft) with lots of space for your cars, bikes, beach vehicles or small boat.

The property is on a quiet street (no through traffic). From the property it's a short walk (1 km) along a tree-lined country road to La Tambora Beach. There you can enjoy local seafood and cold beer in two open air restaurants, and walk on the smooth sand for miles along the Pacific coast. Living close to, but not actually on, the beachfront allows you to sleep to the lullaby of the surf, but preserves your privacy and avoids the worry of beach exposure during the occasional storm. The Mexican government has chosen a pristine stretch of beach a few miles north of Teacapan for future tourist development with an emphasis on ecological preservation, which is sure to raise land values.

Teacapan has a many year history of welcoming tourists and retirees from north of the border, and the nearby city of Escuinapa provides shopping, services and a brand new hospital.

This is a cash sale only. No owner financing is offered.
