The land is 4000 square feet or just over 370 square meters: 35 feet [10.6 meters] of beach front and road frontage, 116 feet from road to the edge of beach [35.5 meters], and 20 feet width [low water mark to edge of property] of white sand beach[6 meters] beyond the 116 feet of terrain.



Merida’s The Gran Plaza mall [Office Depot, Sam’s Club, Home Depot, Sears, cinemas, Liverpool luxury department store, and supermarkets] is only a 20-minute drive, and new and even larger malls have just opened. The area is changing a lot, but still retains the beauty of the Yucatan.

There are full water, electricity, telephone, and high-speed Internet service connections at the entrance to the property.

The neighbors have caretakers installed on their properties, and the caretaker to the right of the property is eager to watch this one [when the house is built] as well. And there are a lot of Americans in the area if you want to participate in their community as well.

You can walk into town from this property.

With the new bridge about to join Progreso with Chelem, now is the time to check out the area. You will discover Chelem is growing up! A new Wal-mart and Sam’s club is being built, the roads are being upgraded and the charm and beauty are both here to stay.

Playa Chelem's developers are determined to bring the best in new luxury homes to this area. With Progreso even closer than before, the movie theatres and boardwalk are just steps away. Try golfing at Club de Golf, a private golf course nearby. Want to fish? Your condo is right on the beach. You can pay a local fisherman to take you fishing. Watch the dolphins from your private terrace as pelicans dive for fish right off the coast. Tour the mangroves, swim in your infinity pool, kayak or canoe and even enjoy watching large communities of pink flamingos and turtles that are just a boat ride away.

BUILDING ON THE PROPERTY:  as you can see from the photos, there are houses on either side of this white-sand beach land.  Building and pool permits are obtained through the agency that is based in Progreso.  Permissions to build on the beach above the high-water mark are granted every day.
THE LOT IS OPEN LAND:  with no buildings on it, only high-end houses with full services.  The house to the left in the photos looking toward the sea has a live-in caretaker who would love also to look after this property and its house as well.  
MAP OF YUCATAN:  the area is warm and sunny the year around, with breezes during the day so that the area is never too hot to sit outside and air conditioning is never necessary.


CONTRACTORS:  I have built three houses in Merida, and I act as architect and general contractor.  I am in contact with several local contractors and architects who are very good and reliable.  I would consider overseeing a building project on this lot since I live in Merida full time.
LAWYERS & ACCOUNTANTS:  I tell everyone that my lawyer is honest and so far that is totally true.  There are other referrals that I can supply.
BUILDING COSTS:  this area and Merida are booming, with house and land prices increasing at a few percent a month!   Building materials are also increasing.  Right now the cost per square meter for new construction, to the level of US major city standards and materials, in Merida is 3,500 pesos or around 350 dollars =  converted is  USD 35 per square foot.  YES, you read that correctly.  Costs at the beach are a bit more for transportation from Merida of materials and crew if not using a local one [I know a local o
