The Purchase
Maraluz represents the pinnacle of coastal luxury—a singular 75-acre oceanfront estate nestled along Mexico's coveted Costalegre coastline. This extraordinary property transcends traditional real estate offerings, standing as both architectural marvel and investment sanctuary in one of the world's most pristine coastal regions.
Created by the visionary artist-architect Robert Gilbert, Maraluz embodies a rare fusion of artistic brilliance and architectural mastery. Gilbert's reputation for creating spaces that seamlessly integrate with their natural environment reaches its zenith in this oceanfront sanctuary, where every structure, pathway, and vista has been carefully orchestrated to celebrate the dramatic meeting of land and sea.
The Opportunity
For the first time in its history, Maraluz is being offered for acquisition through a sophisticated international structure designed to facilitate seamless ownership transfer. This represents not merely a real estate transaction, but the acquisition of a legacy asset that combines unparalleled natural beauty, architectural significance, and strategic location advantages.
The estate's 75 acres encompass diverse topographical features, from dramatic clifftop vantage points to pristine beachfront, creating multiple distinct environments within a single property. Private beaches, natural tide pools, and protected coves provide intimate access to the Pacific Ocean, while elevated terraces offer commanding views across endless blue horizons.
Costalegre Excellence
The Costalegre region has emerged as Mexico's most sophisticated coastal destination, attracting discerning buyers seeking privacy, natural beauty, and cultural authenticity. Unlike more commercialized resort areas, Costalegre maintains its character as an exclusive enclave where luxury harmonizes with environmental stewardship.
Maraluz's position within this coveted region provides access to world-class amenities while ensuring absolute privacy. The estate serves as both retreat and gateway—offering complete seclusion when desired, yet providing convenient access to the Four Seasons Hotel and the cultural richness of Careyes.
Acquisition Structure
The international acquisition structure has been carefully designed to address the complexities of cross-border luxury real estate investment. This sophisticated framework ensures compliance with Mexican property laws while providing flexibility and security for international buyers.
Key structural advantages include streamlined ownership transfer, optimized tax efficiency, and enhanced asset protection. The structure accommodates various ownership scenarios, from individual acquisition to family office investment, trust arrangements, and corporate ownership models.
To provide additional security and peace of mind for international investors, US-based escrow services are integrated into the acquisition process. Purchase funds are securely held by licensed US escrow companies that operate under strict federal and state regulatory oversight, ensuring buyer protection throughout the transaction.
Professional advisory teams specializing in Mexican real estate law, international tax planning, and luxury property management have collaborated to create a turnkey acquisition process. This eliminates traditional barriers and uncertainties often associated with international luxury real estate transactions.
Land Use
Maraluz is situated in a designated Tourist-Ecological land use zone—an area specifically planned to conserve natural beauty while permitting thoughtfully scaled development. Current zoning allows for up to 2 residential units or 8 hotel rooms per hectare, providing flexibility for a boutique retreat or private homes. The total allowable construction on the property is 3,200 square meters, with a COS (land occupation coefficient) of 0.1 and a CUS (floor area ratio) of 0.2. Building height must comply with these ratios to maintain harmony with the surrounding landscape and the ecological goals of the zone.This framework facilitates the development of a low-density, environmentally friendly project—completely aligned with Maraluz's existing vision.
Investment Rationale
Maraluz represents multiple investment theses converging in a single asset. The property's architectural pedigree, created by Robert Gilbert, ensures lasting artistic and cultural value. The irreplaceable 75-acre oceanfront position provides inherent scarcity value in an increasingly developed coastal landscape.
The Costalegre region continues to appreciate as Mexico's premier luxury destination, driven by infrastructure improvements, increased international recognition, and limited supply of comparable properties. Maraluz's scale and quality position it uniquely within this market, offering both immediate enjoyment and long-term appreciation potential.
Beyond financial considerations, Maraluz provides intangible benefits that transcend traditional investment metrics—privacy, beauty, and the rare opportunity to own a masterpiece that represents the highest expression of coastal living.
