Those looking for a luxury retirement in a warm climate, one particular Tulum beachfront home in the nearby town of Akumal could provide an ideal choice. The home offers an internationally acclaimed design, the relaxing beachfront lifestyle in the quaint village of Akumal, and a price reduction that will make it much more accessible to enjoy a luxury retirement at its best.

While one adjacent home is being listed at $2 million, this home was originally listed at the low price of $1.4 million. Recently, the owner, very motivated to sell, has reduced the price to $899,000.

The award-winning home, Ina Tan Kanab, was designed and built by Dallas-based architect George Woo, and has been featured in House and Garden and Architectural Record. George Woo formally worked with internationally acclaimed architect I.M. PEI. The clean lines and contemporary design provide an elegant minimalist appearance.

The home includes 4 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms. The living room, which comes furnished with elegant sofas complementing the design of the home, and the bedrooms have oceanviews, and the master bedroom has a spectacular 180º view. The open-concept kitchen includes a large, 8-person dining table.

The location is also convenient for retirees. Located directly on the beachfront, the home is also within walking distance of restaurants, bars and small stores for basic shopping. Half Moon Bay and Akumal Bay, which have incredible beaches, are likewise within walking distance.

Akumal is located only 45 minutes from Playa del Carmen, where large supermarkets, excellent hospitals and many other services can be found. Tulum, only 15 minutes away, is also on its way to becoming a significant community providing full services. Plans for a new international airport is currently underway in Tulum, which will be very convenient for travel back home, and bring many new services to the town. While all of these services are nearby, Akumal itself has maintained its quaint village atmosphere, providing basic services, and a quiet, relaxing lifestyle.

For those who are planning ahead to retirement, the home has also had an excellent rental record, and in the mean time can double as a vacation home, while still generating income from rentals to other vacationers; the current owner has covered the costs of ownership plus some through this occasional rental. The upcoming airport will likewise increase demand for vacation rentals in high-quality beachfront homes. The property includes a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom guest home which can also be rented separately.
