Los Arboles Tulum, the Riviera Maya's First Fully Entitled Ecological Master-planned Community Near Tulum, Mexico, Celebrates its First Lot Closing

Los Arboles Tulum offers hideaway seekers an affordable opportunity to be part of a jungle community in the heart of the Riviera Maya, minutes away from world-class beaches, Mayan ruins, and Mexico's largest Biosphere Reserve - Sian Kaan.

Cancun, Mexico (PRWEB) November 12, 2008 -- Starting today, people who share a passion for scuba diving, the outdoors, travel, the environment and living in accordance to their principles have a new and affordable way of turning their life's dream of owning property in the Riviera Maya into a reality. Los Arboles Tulum, the first environmentally-friendly project set in 1,200 acres near Tulum, Mexico, has obtained all necessary permits to sell five-acre lots with full title and title insurance starting at only $55 thousand dollars.

Featured in The New York Times (http://www.nytimes.com/2007/03/23/realestate/greathomes/23yucatan.html?_r=1&scp=1&sq=los%20arboles%20tulum&st=cse&oref=slogin), the Austin American-Statesman (http://www.statesman.com/news/content/news/stories/world/11/10/1110mexjungle.html) and The Miami Herald, Los Arboles Tulum is a result of U.S. developer The Tierra Group's dream to offer an example of how real estate could be developed while retaining the land's pristine natural environment and vast biodiversity.

"We are so proud of this project and this achievement, we fought hard for it because we truly believe you can develop real estate in a sustainable way," says Jason Schnurr, Partner and Director of Business Development. "Our goal in creating a 95% conservation development in one of the most beautiful places in the world was to create an experience that others could share and be assured that it will be preserved forever."

Some of the "green" features include permeable roads, use of off-the-grid energy systems, constructed wetlands that work in lieu of septic systems, as well as a comprehensive home-owners' association in place to govern compliance and harmony within the community.

"I finally found the perfect hideaway, where I can live according to my principles, yet it takes me fifteen minutes to get to the beach or to explore the ruins," said Lucy Gallagher, an entrepreneur who relocated to Tulum from the United Kingdom. As an expat residing in the locale, she was looking for a sanctuary to escape the hordes of tourists and call home. Los Arboles Tulum became the perfect solution, offering her a five-acre lot with conservation easements in place to preserve her privacy and guarantee serenity within the community.

With prices starting at $55 thousand dollars and financing options, buyers include current Riviera Maya residents, as well as people from all over the United States and from as far away as Italy. Clients are self-made business owners or career men and women who are seeking a simpler life or a getaway from civilization, surrounded by natural beauty.

Los Arboles Tulum is the only jungle development to offer full title upon closing, title insurance from Stewart Title and a complete subdivision permit. It is located on the well-travelled Tulum-Coba highway, thus offering convenient access to the subdivision.
