Another possibility in the quest for retirement property in Mexico

As the temperatures plummet from above 50 degrees today towards zero tonight, our minds are wondering off towards warmer climates - even if only wishfully. After spending time in Costa Rica last year, we decided that we may be leaning more towards Mexico as an escape from Chicago.

A goal would be to have a house located on the oceanfront with beach access. It seems that condominiums are the only option affordable at the present time. Acknowledging this reality, we've taken to considering houses that are located off the beach.

This house is located outside of Cancun, Mexico, a few miles from the beach and a couple miles from downtown Cancun. The home is new construction and is offered by the developer, Sundial Property Development Group.

The house features 4 bedrooms, 4 baths, a roof top patio with wet bar, front garden and a larger back yard with swimming pool. It's an open floor plan with floor to ceiling windows that open on to the backyard, becoming one big interior/exterior space, along with the deck & pool. It has granite counter tops in all baths, kitchen & the rooftop wet bar. There's even a 4 car garage.

The house is available for $245,000 (U.S. dollars) which seems perfectly reasonable for a brand new and spacious home such as this one. Contact info here. Unless we buy it first.
