The Beauty of Buying Real Estate in Bacalar

Buying Real Estate in Bacalar 

Having the opportunity to own property in Mexico can be very rewarding. The town of Bacalar resides on the Yucatan Peninsula and in the state of Quintana Roo. This subtle community takes its visitors and local residence back to what it was like in old Mexico. If you are thinking of buying real estate in Bacalar you need to know that it is easily reachable by Mexico’s Federal Highway 307. This convenient thoroughfare runs directly through town, making for easy travel to neighboring cities like Chetumal and Corozal, Belize.

Bacalar, Mexico, has a population of just over 11,000 residents with a strong influence of Mayan descent. There is no lack of cultural heritage and continuing tradition, which makes for a welcoming atmosphere. Besides the pleasantries of having a low-key ambiance, there is plenty to see and do. Whether you have an active lifestyle or just enjoy relaxing the day away, there is something for everyone.

This historic town has its share of amazing sites and activities. At your own leisure, you can take time to explore and experience the local attractions. Here are some attractions that many visitors and tourists from all around the world come to enjoy.

Fort of San Felipe

It is composed of the ruins of a stone-constructed fort with a moat. An on-site pirate museum also exhibits the town’s history, along with plenty of dated artifacts. This particular attraction is a historian’s dream.

The Rapids of Bacalar

This is one of the most popular attractions in the area. The Hondo River sits between Bacalar Lagoon, which is known for its 7-shades of blue and Xul-Ha. The river offers unique rock formations that are not commonly seen in many places. People also come to swim and kayak in the beautiful multi-toned water. 

Cenote Cocalitos 

This gorgeous cenote is a great location where explorers can see the Stromatolites – the earliest known fossil-like sediment – that you can view at their closest point.

Emerald Cenote 

This other cenote offers impressive views of Bacalar Lagoon while experiencing the wonders of the cenote itself. 

Black Cenote 

Another out-of-the-earth experience is a half-moon-shaped (90 meters deep) transparent water cenote. 

Cenote Azul

This is an amazing pool of water that is famous for its reflection of the surrounding landscape off its mirror-like surface.

And Also

There is a ‘central marketplace’ in Bacalar’s old town where you may purchase various handcrafted art, jewelry, and other assorted items. There are also several grocery stores, wholesale and retail outlets.

Other entertainment includes multiple restaurants that serve vegan, Italian, traditional Mexican, and Caribbean cuisines. Many of the establishments offer live local music. Enjoy a meal with views of the Bacalar Lagoon, town center, or other appealing scenic landscapes.

A Quiet Town

Bacalar isn’t really the ideal destination for people who are looking at partying it up for the week. If this is the case, you might want to consider the nearby city of Chetumal.

Bacalar is actually more for the person who wants to relax, unwind, and enjoy personal or family time. It would be a perfect place to consider investing in a seasonal or second home. There are several available properties. However, one home stands out above the rest. 

Your Soon to be Home

This waterfront property sits just steps away from one of the most beautiful lakes in the Yucatan Peninsula. This spacious 3-bedroom and 3-bath open floor plan home is ideal for larger families and entertaining out-of-town guests. You can also use it for short or long-term rental investment. 

This unique and custom-built home is fully furnished, environmentally friendly, and move-in ready. The home already has countless amenities such as a fully equipped kitchen, plenty of living space, a rooftop lounging area with panoramic views, solar cells, and more.

Around this beautiful home, there is lush terrain that reaches out to a private beach area. This secluded area provides a special place for swimming, snorkeling, and other water activities.

Some additional amenities exclusive to this property include a private entrance with a gatehouse, garage and guest parking, plenty of gardens, and a dock, to mention just a few.

This particular home has so much potential that it’s hard even to imagine all the possibilities. If you are looking for a place that offers small-town living, lots of room, and having the ability to escape the hustle and bustle, this is a must-see property.  

Last words

Bacalar is surrounded by a serene landscape that provides a peaceful and relaxing environment. It is also only minutes away from the city of Chetumal and all its conveniences, as well as the beautiful Caribbean Sea and white sand beaches.
