Sapphire Beach Lot

This Sapphire Beach Lot, 12B, is 20 meters wide by 62 meter deep and is located on the west side of the beach road which backs-up to the National Forest. A maintained foot path just across the road provides access to the private white sand Caribbean beach. Because the property is not directly on the beach, it’s much more protected from storms, which is part of living in a beach environment. Of course, the price is a quarter of what the lots across the road cost!

The price alone makes Sapphire Beach Lot 12B a rare investment opportunity. The lot is located at the north entrance to Sapphire Beach and about two km (1.5 miles) from the paved access road to Mahahual. It’s zoned for high-density use and could easily be developed for a full or part time residence or perhaps a small hotelito or bed-‘n-breakfast. The lot is served by the  new Federally-subsidized electrical grid extension, one of the few beach properties south of Tulum to have access to electricity.

Sapphire Beach is one of the most desirable addresses on the Costa Maya coast. That’s because Sapphire Beach is more than just a beach. It is a community with a standing Home Owners Association that is committed to maintaining the beaches, the roads and the flora and fauna of the beach environment. Sapphire Beach was once part of a larger coconut palm plantation, so coco laden palm trees and protected chit palms are the predominant landscape feature.

Along the shoreline, only several hundred meters offshore, the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef protects the coastline from possible turbulent seas. The coral reef, often known as the Mayan Barrier Reef, is the second largest barrier reef in the world – second only to the Great Barrier Reef in Australia – and extends 965 kilometers (600 miles) from the Yucatan Peninsula to Honduras. A diver’s and snorkeler’s paradise, the Reef is home to five hundred species of fish and one of the largest colonies of manatees on the planet.
