Introduction

Less than one mile from the Campeche Marina & Beach Resort, a smaller and more Exclusive development is now available for a limited number of qualified buyers. Santillana del Mar has fifteen front line beachfront homesites, of which several remain available starting at $125,000. Each of these homesites is around one-third acre in size, and each has about 100 feet of beach frontage. Directly behind the front line homesites are another fifteen homesites, which are only another 60-70 yards away from the beach, starting at $100,000 depending on size. Most are around one-third acre, with a few closer to one-half acre. There are three pedestrian trails leading out to the beach, so the owners of these homesites are only a few steps from the beautiful white sand beaches. Please contact us for an updated list of which homesites are still available in both rows.

Home designs from several leading regional architects are now being developed for use in our beachfront section, each one featuring Spanish-Mediterranean, local Yucatan or Tropical-Caribbean styles, with deluxe features and quality. Steel reinforced concrete block frames, terra cotta roof tiles, luxury Interceramic floors, bathrooms and countertops will be included. Extra touches such as marble floors, local Yucatan stone borders for windows and doorways, or for exterior columns, can be added at a very reasonable cost. Expert local craftsmen can create beautiful wrought iron designs for balconies and doors, or interior stairways with tropical hardwood banisters. Stained and cut glass window inserts are available from leading Mexican artists in a wide variety of designs, and can also be created from a drawing or photo. In fact, you can also bring down your own design, or even a photo from a design magazine, and we can take it from there and create a custom home to fit your dreams.

Santillana del Mar and the Santillana Sea Ranch will be enclosed, gated communities, with guarded entrances and 24 hour security throughout all areas. In the Sea Ranch section there will be a Community Center for all residents with a snack bar, recreational and fitness facilities, where you can also take Spanish lessons, or sign up for excursions visiting the many historical and cultural attractions of the region. In the center of the Sea Ranch you will find the “Zocalo”, or Town Square, modeled after the main square in the historic section of Campeche. We will grant concessions to a couple of qualified restaurant and café operators to provide services here, and there will be a convenience store, internet access and plenty of trees and benches to relax and socialize. Besides the Town Square, we will have several other smaller parks at random locations throughout the Sea Ranch, with shade trees and benches provided. On the community beach, we will provide shade Palapas, showers, bathrooms, changing facilities, and a snack bar, for the use of all community residents.

The Sea Ranch Estates will be an ideal place to live for those who wish to be close to the beach, with access to all beach and other community services, but with a little more land, enough for a large swimming pool, a tennis court and some lush tropical gardens. The homesites range from about one-half to three-quarters of an acre in size, and are currently priced from $75,000 depending on size and location. The quality of the soil is excellent, as you will see from the variety of large hardwood and tropical fruit trees scattered around the Sea Ranch. We have abundant fresh water from two large wells, and we were recently informed by the National Water Commission that the Sea Ranch sits right over one of the largest fresh water tables in the area. Behind the residential section of the Sea Ranch is a large Nature Reserve, approximately 60 acres in size, with natural ponds and streams, where you can follow our trails, or join our guide to observe the local wildlife. All homes in the Sea Ranch Estates will be just a few minutes walk from the beach, and we will also have some golf carts circulating around to provide transportation to the beach or to the Main Entrance Gate.

We expect that many Sea Ranch Estates homes will follow some variation of the Yucatan Hacienda style, which can be adapted to just about any size or floor plan. Other compatible designs for this area are also being created by our architects.
