There is no question that Tulum is a mystical place; since ancient times this was a privileged location for the Mayans as a commercial, religious and cultural center. Nowadays the reality is slightly different but not less interesting.
With some of the most beautiful beaches of the world, people often come looking for properties that are the closest to the sea within the Tulum real estate area but, as most of you know, there is a vast protected mangrove ecosystem that means little can be built on site… and that’s pretty much how the town locals like it.
But there is no need to feel disappointed about this because that means, the charm that you love so much about this place will never get lost or overdeveloped and crowded with tourist. Tulum offers a softer, calmer and quieter lifestyle and real estate options.
A popular trend here is to find a lot for sale a little off the town and take advantage of the nature and surroundings, a good example of this would be the lots at Holistika, in the southern end of town. This has been planned as a community built around a wellness center in which using building materials and techniques that are typical in this zone, the developers can show you different house types to build or you can just build your home anyway you like.
Another popular real estate choice around Tulum would be Los Arboles, with a natural almost untouched by man setting, in a master planned, gated community that embraces at least 95% of jungle conservation and alternative energy usage with pretty good size and affordable lots where you can just go crazy and build that tree house that you used to dream of when you were a kid.
So, either you want to stay closer to town or a little further away, there´s always something interesting, unique and environmentally friendly about real estate in Tulum, plus all that artsy, bohemian and healthy oriented lifestyle inherent to this community. Just talk to your trusted Tulum agent, let him know your choices and start making it happen!
