EXPLORING THE SOUTH
Discovering Paradise south of Vallarta
 How do you get a piece of this paradise, south of Puerto Vallarta? I see many people making the drive south to the Mayto and Tehuamixtle areas. You can tell the first timers, and many are scouting out the area. The word is getting out about this place with the miles of endless beaches, clear waters, very few people, fresh seafood and oysters and a laid back peaceful lifestyle. Discovering this area is like a breath of fresh air…only two hours drive from Puerto Vallarta.
This is the beginning of Costa Alegre, the “happy coast” that goes all the way to Careyes and beyond. As people look around, many can see the possibilities for the future of this area. I hear “wow” often from first time visitors when they see the beaches. A common question – some ask, or some quietly think about – can I buy something on the water, or close by with a view? And, how do I go about it, and how much does it cost. The answer to the first part is yes you can, how you go about it and how much you pay - have many variables. Also, some of the best is already purchased. This is one of Mexico’s lesser-known havens and is quickly gaining  popularity among those looking to unwind in a more private and serene setting. However, it is still a frontier and the familiar and comfortable amenities of established real estate offices are non-existent. Also you will not find the tourist trappings of established destinations. Local knowledge is the best way to discover what may be available. I would suggest doing a good deal of homework, checking references and credibility of sources. Ask questions, expect good answers, and check documents carefully. If possible work with a trusted and reliable attorney that deals with this kind of real estate.
I have had the good fortune to secure an amazing parcel of ocean front land as well as a property in Tehuamixtle. Both required a great deal of effort, time, counsel, and patience. Both are now legally titled and registered properties, with plans for very  limited development in the near future. My experience was filled with more stories than I care to remember, some humorous and some scary. I gained a lot of knowledge about the process and in the end it had a good outcome. With big development companies purchasing large sections of land in the Mayto and Tehua area, it is only a matter of time before the familiar real estate agents will service the area. In the meantime the more adventurous may be fortunate enough to find something ahead of the crowd. This is truly a paradise worth discovering.
