Eco-friendly forest living close to a stunning Caribbean beach

Here’s a chance to have the best of both worlds—a home, surrounded by tropical forest, close to a stunning Caribbean beach. We have a limited inventory in an eco-chic destination that’s poised to boom.

This development is exclusive…with 221 home sites spread over 1200 acres. The peaceful jungle flora and fauna envelop your home. The large 5-acre lots give you privacy, and ample room to spread out. Plans call for a community center with a clubhouse and outdoor theater.

Twelve minutes away, the “World’s Second-best Beach” beckons. Tripadvisor readers voted Tulum Beach #2 in a survey this year, and when you see the beach, you’ll understand why. It’s a silky carpet of coral sand, with swaying palm trees, and neon-blue Caribbean waves whispering on the shore. Throw in Mayan ruins, wildlife-filled biospheres and nature reserves, and you have the perfect ingredients for a magical second home.

With 5-acres for $60,000 and with attractive developer financing, these lots are selling fast. Click here for more details.

Beach Condos in Brazil from $66,000

A busy day at the office…on Fountains Beach

If you think that price means a shack in the middle of nowhere, you’re wrong. This beach is an hour’s drive from a city of 3 million people…and an international airport, shopping, restaurants and banks. If you want Chinese food, or a buzzing bar, you won’t get it at the beach. But you can pop downtown for your city fix, and then retreat to the tranquil calm of your beach condo.

This beautiful stretch of coast is a favorite with Brazilian tourists…and I can see why. Colored sand cliffs, in shades of pink, red, terracotta and white, contrast dramatically with the brilliant-blue sky overhead and the long stretch of white beach. Fresh water streams run over the cliff edges, a natural shower for rinsing off sand or salt water after a day on the beach.

The little wooden fishing boats come home in the late afternoon with the day’s catch…just in time for the beachside bars to grill it and serve it for dinner.

The beach condos in this offer sit on a small cliff overlooking the shore. All the condos have ocean views, and direct access to the beach. Construction is well advanced. Condos start from $66,000, with only a handful left. Find out more about the condos here.

So, there you have it. Three deals, for three different types of property, in three different countries. They’re all good value, with upside potential—and they’ll all make a great second home. The choice is yours…but the properties and terms won’t last long. Contact the developers today to lock down your smoking deal—while they last.
