The place you want to live: in nature, away from the pollution and stress of the city.

Yes. Foreigners can buy homes in Mexico. In the so-called restricted zone (100 km from the borders and 50 km from the coast, where Riviera Nayarit is), the purchase is made through a bank trust (fideicomiso) in your name, which gives you the use and enjoyment of the property and the right to sell or bequeath it. Outside that zone (for example, in the State of Mexico) you can buy directly with a permit from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. We guide you through every step with the notary and the bank.

It is a contract with a Mexican bank that acts as trustee and holds title to the property for your benefit for 50 renewable years. There is a set-up cost and an annual bank fee, in addition to the notary fees and taxes on the purchase. We give you the breakdown in writing before you reserve.

It is a residential development designed around nature, health and community life: green spaces, water and energy efficiency, areas to move outdoors and integrated longevity services. Here we present three: Smart Green City on the Yucatán Peninsula, and Mittha in Riviera Nayarit and Eco Valle in the State of Mexico, next to our centres.

Riviera Nayarit is the Pacific coast, with a warm climate all year round and access via Puerto Vallarta airport. Eco Valle, on the way to Valle de Bravo, is mountain forest 90 minutes from Mexico City, with average temperatures of 12 to 16 degrees. The best way to decide is to spend a few nights in each: our centres offer stays of 2 to 7 nights.

Each development has its own plan. At Smart Green City you choose your down payment, from 2%, and your term, from 48 to 240 months: the first 48 monthly payments are interest-free, from payment 49 onwards 0.9% a month is added on the outstanding balance, and there is no final payment. At Mittha (immediate handover) you pay a 10% down payment and the rest on signing the deed, financed at a fixed 13.5% a year for up to 120 months, or a combination of both. At Eco Valle you pay a 30% down payment, 10% in 36 interest-free monthly payments and 60% on handover. Final terms depend on the unit and the time of purchase; we give them to you in writing with every item. We do not offer return or appreciation figures: buying a home is a life and wealth decision that should be made calmly.

If you live in Spain or Portugal, you will have to declare the property and, where applicable, any income it generates, according to your country’s rules and the double taxation agreement with Mexico. We guide you through the steps and recommend reviewing it with your tax adviser before signing.

Yes. Our three centres (Mittha, Eco Valle and Querétaro) offer stays of 2 to 7 nights, with or without a longevity programme, and day passes. Our customer care team (Client Care) helps you organise the visit and, if you like, tour the Mittha or Eco Valle development.

Many owners use it seasonally. We explain the maintenance and management options while you are away and the tax implications of renting it out when you are not using it, always with real numbers and without promising income.
