Description

Five point three acres, 21,571 m², of forest in Mal País with two container homes, an artisanal well and public road frontage, minutes from the Mal País beaches and a short drive from the surf at Playa Carmen.

The homes. Two container houses, each with two bedrooms, plainly built and set into the vegetation. A small ocean view from the upper floor of one of them.

Water. A hand-dug artisanal well on the property that the owners describe as abundant. A well is not a water availability letter; for any new building here, ask us how the well is registered and whether the local ASADA can issue a letter, because on this stretch that is what decides what you can add.

Access and services. Public road frontage with year-round access; fiber internet is available on the road.

Titled, with mature vegetation and wildlife throughout.
