Beach House for Sale in Chelem, Yucatán | Custom-Built Pool Home, Fully Furnished | $289,000 USD | $5,200,000 MXN

Property Description

Good beach houses in Chelem don’t sit on the market long, and it’s easy to see why once you look at what’s actually included here. This is a newly custom-built, one-bedroom home designed for a couple who wants space without excess — 158 square meters, right around 1,700 square feet, all under roof, and none of it wasted.

Built for real life on the coast

Ask anyone who’s owned property on this stretch of coast and they’ll tell you the systems matter as much as the finishes. This one was clearly built by someone who already knew that. The entire house runs on a reverse osmosis system, so the water isn’t just filtered, it’s drinkable straight from the tap, backed by a pressurized system, a water softener, and a deep drilled well. An on-demand LP water heater keeps hot water flowing on demand, and when the power goes out, a Generac backup generator and a whole-home surge protector take over without missing a beat — fed by 17 solar panels, 540 watts each, roughly 9 kW total, split across dual inverters. None of it is a later add-on. It’s original to the build, and the blueprints are included, right down to the septic and well locations.

Cool, comfortable, and finished with care

Four Samsung mini-splits (three 18,000 BTU, one 12,000 BTU) keep the home comfortable room by room, and a commercial-grade triple sliding glass door with its own hurricane shutter opens the living space straight onto the pool. That pool is a large, filtered chukum pool with lighting and a waterfall, framed by Macedonia tile poolside. Inside, granite countertops run through the kitchen, anchored by a black onyx sink with a built-in garbage disposal, plus a farmhouse sink tucked into the butler’s pantry laundry area. Plank-style tile runs through every room, and the septic system was specifically designed to be toilet-paper friendly — a small detail that matters more than people expect once they’ve lived without it.

Room to live, room to grow

The one-bedroom layout centers on a large master suite with his-and-hers sink vanities, a deep soaking tub, a walk-in shower, and a custom-built wardrobe closet. Outside, a screened rooftop lanai with a pergola opens up to a peekaboo view of the Gulf. Downstairs, a two-car covered carport and two bodega storage rooms — one up, one down — handle everything from beach gear to tools. And if more space is ever on the wish list, the foundation is already engineered to support a second story.

Private, secure, and ready to move into

The property sits on a corner lot, fully walled with an electric gate, with five exterior cameras covering the grounds and heavy-duty glass storm doors guarding both the front and back entrances. The sale includes the furnishings shown — leather sofa and theater recliner seating, a 70″ TV and soundbar on a custom-built entertainment center, Starlink, a king bed with custom headboard, dresser, and nightstand, the washing machine, small appliances, and the interior décor — so this is about as close to walk-in-and-live-in-it as beach houses come.

Don’t miss this one. Near-turnkey beach houses at this price, with this build quality, don’t come around often in Chelem — and this one won’t last.
