Trip to Huatulco – Part 3
As I mentioned I was in Huatulco to visit Cosmo Residences a development in the Life Rich Real Estate Inc. property portfolio. So I thought it was time that I told you a little more about the development!
The Cosmo development is described as ‘Elegant Oceanfront living’ and I have to say that it met and exceeded my expectations. This development sits on a fabulous piece of property that is just a little over 9 acres and features generous botanical gardens and lush tropical plants.
Access to Cosmo is on a very good, well maintained road. Entrance to the development is through a secure gated entry that is manned 24/7.
As you come down the driveway set on the hill to your left are 3 of the first buildings to be completed; offering stunning ocean views. The hillside vegetation of lush ground cover and bright flowers – make the driveway ‘fresh’.
We head into the private parking area of the building where the sales office is located. We enter through the private front entrance and a hallway that leads to an enclosed garden and then into the magnificent 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom villa + media room (256m2) that is currently used as the sales office (it is also available for sale!).
Shaun and I spent a little bit of time taking advantage of the reliable internet connection at the sales office before grabbing a bottle of water and heading off to find the golf cart and to begin our tour of the property, suites and buildings.
The development offers 2 bedroom/2 bathroom condos and 3 bedrooms/3 bathrooms + media room options. The suggested furnishing of the media room allows it to be very easily converted to a 4thbedroom as necessary.
The price range on the condos is from US $275,000 to US $629,000. There is a 10% discount offered on pre-construction.
As with all the developments in the Life Rich Real Estate property portfolio there is also an additional money saving exclusive offer available for our clients. Please contact us for the details of the special offer available at Cosmo!
The buildings are all only 3 storey’s high (this is the maximum height for residential buildings allowed in Huatulco) and 6 units per buildings. The development has a couple of pools already completed – the plan is for a total of 4 along with a gym and a spa.
The quality of the cabinetry, flooring and everything throughout the suites is very impressive; from the custom made solid wooden doors & cabinetry, large Travertine marble tile throughout, marble shower enclosures, designer bathroom fixtures, kitchens that feature granite counter tops, double sinks with garbage disposal and top of the line stainless steel appliances that include double door fridge, built-in microwave/range hood, dishwasher, stove and even a wine fridge! The units also offer in-suite laundry facilities. Each room has separate air conditioning units with remote controls.
Each suite has its own storage room and a private parking space. Each suite features floor to ceiling aluminum glass doors that open fully to provide maximum view and extend the living area out to the terrace.
Entry to the 3 bedroom suites has magnificent double wood doors – a really neat feature of these doors is that a couple of the panels unlock & tilt to allow a fabulous cross breeze whilst maintaining the privacy of the unit. The arrangement within the buildings of the front entrances of the individual condos means that most have ample space in front of them to allow for a private sitting area.
The developer completes the building & it’s infrastructure (i.e. elevators & common areas) ready for occupancy, however, the interiors of the individual condos are only completed once they are purchased allowing the buyer to choose their cabinets, counters, etc.
There are a number of units available for purchase at this time. They would be ready for occupancy approximately 3 months after the buyer has chosen their finishings.
Construction is about to begin on several more buildings and the time to occupancy will be approximately 12 – 18 months depending on the building chosen.
The construction materials used are most definitely of a higher standard than generally found and the developer has a couple of ‘display boards’ that show the quality of the materials being used in the construction.
After reviewing the different buildings and locations we then took a walk down through the wonderful lush & colourful grounds working our way down past the Ocean Bar and down to the Arrocito beach. The Ocean Bar has a wonderful reputation already as you can see by the reviews in Trip Advisor. They location is stunning and a number of couples have held their weddings at the venue and I also understand that it has also been the location of some very successful parties.
The Arrocito beach is a wonderful family friendly beach with its gently sloping beach and calm water with only gently rolling waves coming onto the beach – unlike the adjacent Tongalunda bay where I noticed that the waves are very large and the beach steep.. The Cosmo beach club features private beach access, lounging chairs and some wonderful covered ‘double beds’ that gently swung in the breeze under the canopies. Certainly a very inviting location!
