Written by articles-playa on Tue, 27 Jul 2010 20:17:15 GMT
While luxury real estate on the Tulum beachfront most certainly has its price, one of the best luxury homes in the area is currently being offered a very significant price reduction – 35% off a price that was already below the market value.
The home, Casa Ina Tan Kanab, is located directly on the oceanfront in the village of Akumal, about 20 minutes away from Tulum, and about an hour and a half south of Cancun. With 4 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms and a guest house providing an additional 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, this home is in an exclusive category of homes in the neighborhood, some of which are being listed at over $2 million USD.
