Coconut Palms and Tropical Hardwoods shade this beautiful secluded lot located on Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula in Emerald Bay. Watch Dolphins play in the water while Pelicans dive for fish, as you sip your morning coffee deciding what adventures you’ll get up to today.

Tired of living life where you can’t see the forest for the trees? Working 10 to12 hour days, often on weekends, and never getting ahead in life’s daily rat race? Perhaps you have had enough and Emerald Bay is exactly what you are looking for.

Located just a short drive from an international airport, in a predominantly expat community, beside a quaint seaside village, where lifestyle is all about quality time with family and friends. Leave the bumper to bumper traffic behind and trade it for a moped or golf cart, where life is like being on a permanent vacation, never knowing what new discoveries each day will bring.

If this sounds like a place that could be of interest to you, contact us today for a personal showing.

Cacomistle – Small, 3 pound, nocturnal cat like tree climbers with a ringed tail. They are usually located by their loud wailing calls heard in the treetops after sunset.

Paca – Stocky, reddish brown with white spots, these 18 pound mammals primarily eat fruits and other vegetation. Shy and active after dark when foraging on the forest floor.
