Los Flamboyanes Bacalar - The Project

Las Flamboyanes is a new project and development on the shores of Laguna Bacalar just 3 hours south of Playa del Carmen, and a short 30 minute drive to the state capital of Chetumal. Los Flamboyanes is a private community and covers 23 hectares (roughly 57 acres), with 184 single family lots. The majority of the lots are 22 meters by35 meters; others are slightly larger. All lots are for single family homes, which creates plenty of green space throughout the development as well as ample setbacks for each lot. There will be a beautiful park in the middle of the property that will cover 1.24 hectares (3 acres) as well as tennis courts, and private access to the Los Flamboyanes lakeside park. It will take three to five years for the roads and infrastructure to be developed and ready with complete services for you.  If you are thinking of buying a property to hold and build your retirement home on later,or you simply want to take advantage of these prices, this is the project for you. We will be building our homes there and we will have all the support people in place to get your home built for you

The idea of Los Flamboyanes is to provide large lots for single family homes in a green and environmentally friendly setting with all modern services and amenities. There will be specific setbacks and guidelines in order to maintain the sanctity of the development and to ensure that people will not be building “on top of” their neighbors. The idea is that each lot will have plenty of room for their own private gardens and individually designed green spaces, which in turn will create further privacy to each home. The project will be developed with an exterior wall around the entire property, This way there will not be walls inside the development, but you can fence in your own back yard for your pets, just no concrete walls please!.

All services will be developed underground and brought to the front of each lot, including septic. The septic system will be modeled after the environmentally friendly ways of Xcaret Park. Xcaret has a closed system that you wouldn’t even know was there, but is designed in such a way to lessen the impact on the local ecosystems.

A water storage area is being developed where all roof top and rainwater will be stored for irrigation of the parks and gardens. Each home owner will be responsible to pipe their own roof water to the street where they can hook in to the main system.

All streets will be paved and accompanied by broad sidewalks, and there will be lush gardens dividing the driving lanes as well as in the center of all round abouts (glorietas).Flowering flamboyane trees will be prevalent throughout the grounds, thus the name; Los Flamboyanes.

All property owners will have private access to the water front park. There will be a small road between the main property and the park, and there will be an underpass from Los Flamboyanes to the park. This will ensure that residents, especially children, can safely walk to the lake for a swim without ever leaving the neighborhood or crossing the road. In the future there will be a small restaurant at the park so you can enjoy a drink in the evening or have a lunch with your family and friends. It will be understood that this park area will always remain a park and no one will have the right to develop any condos, apartments etc.

All of the service areas will be buffered from the houses by tennis courts and parks. Service areas will have their own entrances and exits directly from the exterior road to limit outside traffic within the interior of the community. All service areas or administrative offices will be surrounded by green areas and natural plant barriers so it is pleasing to the eye.

Los Flamboyanes Bacalar will be a fraccionamiento. What does that mean? It means that that Los Flamboyanes will provide its own services like garbage pickup, upkeep, etc. Everyone will pay a nominal maintenance fee to cover all of the services. A non-profit civil association will be set up, with an open book policy, so that no individual profits from the maintenance fees.

Los Flamboyanes Bacalar - Value of Your Investment

Average lots that are currently available (September 2008) in Bacalar run $80.00 USD per square meter and up, and this would be for a non-registered lot, dirt roads, no services, and no lake access.

Pre-sale prices at Los Flamboyanes offer substantial discounts with lots being offered at $52.00 USD per square meter; purchasers will have equity the day they buy their lots. It is a rare opportunity to get in on the early side of a project, and can bring an amazing return on your investment.

Here’s an example of this kind of timing at work for a past client: They bought a lot in Playacar Phase II, in Playa del Carmen, 6 years ago paid approximately $105.00 USD per square meter for a 380 square meter lot for a total of $40,000.00 USD. They then built a beautiful custom home for approximately $110,000.00 USD. Today lots in the same neighborhood are over $500.00 USD per square meter and they could sell their home for more than $400,000.00 USD. So how did they get so lucky? They bought early. There wasn’t any road to the lot. They looked at the lot layouts in the office and made their purchase, then waited for everything to be ready for them to build.

In addition, to the extensive benefits of getting involved in this project early keep in mind that there are no time limits on building your home on your individual lot; some investors are planning to hold onto their lots to build their retirement homes in the future. This is a great way to maximize your investment and to be seen as one of the “lucky ones”. Use this rare opportunity and timing to take advantage of an ideal opportunity and get involved. Don’t be someone who says; “I should have” or “I wish I had”, recognize this golden opportunity and come on board today.
