Campeche Real Estate Discovery Trip 3
I have always had the image of the water on the Gulf of Mexico being the same as what I see off of the west coast of Florida. I even heard and read from some people that the beaches in Campeche Mexico were ugly because of the high concentration of the oil industry operations off of Ciudad del Carmen coast line in the southern corner of the state. But, the Campeche Beachfront real estate that I visited ripped all of my previous assumptions! These were definitely some of the most desirable Mexico real estate properties that I have visited.
As soon as we drove over the summit of a large hill as we approached Champoton driving in from the north from the capital, we caught a glimpse of a completely different type of water shades and beaches. This was turquoise green, transparent water, shades of green tones for approximately 300 meters on white beaches. Once we passed Champoton (sea food heaven which I will chat about in a later post), we stopped at a l little beach side restaurant and walked on the sand. SEASHELLS GALORE. In less than 10 minutes my kids had ran out and gathered about 15 – 20 shells which we never see on the Mexican Caribbean.

The Campeche beaches with white sands run for approximately for a 60 mile stretch south of Champoton till the Isla Aguada. Most of the Campeche real estate on the beach is rocky except for this 60 mile stretch.
On the backside of these Campeche beachfront lots you will find a lagoon. The lagoon on the back side connects from Sabancuy water entrance south till the Bay of Terminos.
Nice calm waters and hundreds of miles of waterfront for exploring. Campeche beachfront lots have varying sizes but the majority have 20 meters of beach frontage. These go back deep with some of the lots having at least 900 meters depth until you reach the back side. Homes in the area are normally designed to open up onto the beautiful gulf of Mexico and beaches. There is a 3 story height build restriction and much attention is placed rightfully so in protecting the wild life and natural settings of the zone.
In the past three years, a large project developed by a Spanish group has invested nearly 200 million dollars. This project is estimated to begin deliveries of their residences in the summer of 2010. With a Jack Nicklaus golf course and 115 slip marina, it promises to bring much publicity and attention to the region for the following decade. In the two nearby fishing villages private money is following suit by making some investments to the area preparing for the inflow of new tourists and winter home owners. Companies such as Chedraui and a private hospital group. Home depot, Walmart, Mega Comercial Mexicana are all other companies with plans for near future openings in the areas. Along the coastal highway, we saw men and machinery busy at work with government funded projects placing water pipes and tubing underground. New bridges and a new by pass are underway to divert the traffic of people driving to Villa Hermosa and other northern destinations away from having to drive through Ciudad del Carmen and along the coastal road.

The Campeche real estate properties along the coast line that we visited were a surprise of the natural beauty that exists on this hidden little corner of the Gulf of Mexico. Turquoise green waters and beaches lined with palm trees are what many people dream about for their winter homes. With large amounts of private and public money being injected to the zone over the past three years, the opportunities on waterfront Mexico real estate is growing on a monthly basis.

Today, over 10 museums dot the downtown colonial city, a pirate museum exists in one of the forts and light shows with actors re-enact battles between raiders and the defending soldiers are very popular shows and attractions. With an infrastructure project co-sponsored by the Federal Electric company, all cables of electricity and poles have been removed from the Campeche real estate downtown zones and placed underground. The city also enacted a program with the goal to become Mexico’s cleanest city! Schools of all ages participated which a) helped clean the city physically and also b) helped educate the young children of the importance of placing trash in the correct and indicated places. These programs and the early detection by the city and state over five years ago is starting to pay off as Campeche, this hidden jewel, is slowly becoming discovered as a tourist destination and interesting second/retirement home market.
The Mega Commercial store was one of the largest stores of this chain that I have seen constructed with a beautiful facade investment respecting the building guidelines of the city. ( I was unable to take a photo but will on my next trip to Campeche). I also found it very interesting to see Walmart store and a Sam’s Club in the city. These stores have a very extensive analysis of urban trends and when this corporation chooses to invest within a community, there are strong probabilities that growth is projected. Private hospitals also are available but due to time restraints, I was unable to study closely the status. What we do know is that a very healthy upper and middle class community exists in Campeche and their health requirements are met with the local health care suppliers.
With the “Malecon” boardwalk only recently face lifted, the visitors coming to the city have been increasing exponentially and several, such as myself with the idea that Campeche would be the ideal
Programs such as restoring the old colonial facades, running underground services, and restoring of the boardwalk have been important investments that will be paying off over the next ten years. Private investments have been following suit with large multi-national companies introducing their presence in the past three years and so. If you combine all of these factors, including the waterfront location of this community, it has my full attention and a follow up trip has already been scheduled.
