“PLAYA MIRAMAR BRIGHT FUTURE IS HERE – 2010 IS THE YEAR!”

Playa Miramar located in what is locally referred to as the “East Beaches” of Puerto Penasco, Rocky Point, Mexico has been -- even for homeowners and residents of this town -- one of the best kept secrets! 2010 will be its “shining moment” for this community to come out of its sea shell and shine. Aptly located just 5 minutes from the new international airport and the new toll road -- which short cuts from the Lukeville border directly into this area, this area is now easier than ever to get to. And with the most recent announcement of Organized Electricity being brought in by July 2010 for connection…..the secret is getting out! Read on and discover why so many people are talking about Playa Miramar Peninsula as the “2010 Best Buy In Puerto Penasco Real Estate”.
For an overview of the peninsula the resorts and communities are in this order: Playa Miramar peninsula begins on the southeast end with the Mayan Palace Resort encompassing the La Pinta Estuary. Luna Delia luxury towers can be seen now on the most eastern edge of their property, which then flows seamlessly into the gated subdivision of Playa Miramar residential community. At the west end of Playa Miramar you can not miss the luxury towers Luna Blanca and Encanto Living, which offer residents unprecedented luxury residential options of either condominiums or large high end villas. As of 2010, these 2 towers are the only beachfront condominium resorts completed for the next @15 miles on the beach! To the west of these towers is El Dorado Resort resorts, a 24 hour guarded residential and resort community. Now, starting at the east end and working our way west, read on for more current information as well as history about each of these unique areas along the Playa Miramar Peninsula.
Origins of this entire subdivision goes back to 1980’s when at that time Ejido Miramar decided to lease (due a legal incapacity for foreigners to “own” the land at that time) beach lots to the public. Many lease holders started to build homes, ranging from large beachfront estate to beach bungalows. You can find homes here that are around 20 years old! The Ejido law was amended in 1993 allowing ejidos go private and sell their land, what gave more secure value to the lots that were occupied 95% by American and Canadian citizens.
In 1996 Mayan Palace Resorts decided to invest and develop a resort in that ejido, bringing a multimillion investment to Puerto Penasco. On the fast track the Sonora State government in coordination with the Federal government expropriated with Ejido Miramar Consent, the ejido land. Selling one half to the Mayan Palace and giving back as PRIVATE PROPORTY to the ejido members the other half, this is where Playa Miramar subdivision is located today. In this way the Mayan Palace and Ejido obtained some of the cleanest titles that can be provided in Mexico. These titles were obtained directly from the government after an expropriation process- making them the first private titles on this land ever! Which makes for a very “short chain of title”. After some internal disputes among the ejido members were resolved, bank trusts / titles were delivered in 2003 -- Clean and free to each one of the homeowners after months of negotiations. Many of the “original” lease holders, now holding their titles still own their properties and enjoy their homes today! Some are beyond retirement and ready to sell, making for some very lucrative opportunities in this area.
Mayan Palace opened the doors of the first phase of its Puerto Penasco resort in February 2004, announcing the impressive master plan shown below. The remaining outlying land, which held titles having bounds with Mayan Palace went vertical that same year, bringing to life Luna Blanca and Encanto Living Resorts.
Mayan Palace opened the first Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course just 3 minutes driving from Playa Miramar and announced the construction of the Mar de Cortez International Airport which was built and officially inaugurated by Felipe Calderon President of Mexico showing the importance this region has for developing strategy n November 5th, 2009.
A new toll freeway from the border to the airport has been in the plan for some time now and construction has started! This toll road “short cut” will be similar to the one that now easily connects Yuma, AZ / San Luis Colorado, MX with El Golfo, then swiftly on to Puerto Penasco / Rocky Point. This new freeway will bring you from the Lukeville Arizona border directly to the Airport, with only @30 minutes driving! This will save travelers heading to the Miramar Peninsula an average of approximately 1 hour! At the end of the toll road is the airport and you are only 5 minutes drive to Playa Miramar peninsula communities.
Playa Miramar Residential Beachfront Community enjoys a clean and pristine stretch of sea shell beach 2.5 kilometers long, which is host to 105 beachfront properties organized into “El Pueblito Miramar” homeowners association. With more than 70 second – fourth tier ocean view lots organized into the “Playa Miramar Beachside Community”. Within this community there is a diverse selection of properties that would suit any type of personality and lifestyle. From the beach bungalow to the loft style living -- to the ultimate in luxury beachfront homes, estates and mansions to choose from.
In January of 2010 Playa Miramar homeowners independently have organized themselves and started the electrification of this subdivision. Up to this time, these homeowners enjoyed “off the grid” living, with green building techniques, sophisticated solar electric and generator back up systems however, several homes enjoy central AC and heat already! The electrification project is in full swing, with deposits and project milestones begin commencing in February 2010. Playa Miramar homeowners have not been immune from the real estate market downturn, however they have been able to retain their property values stronger than any other residential community in all of Puerto Penasco. 2009 Playa Miramar holds the record for “the highest priced home sold on the market in the Rocky Point MLS for the year” proving that this area and the homes available here are worth a look ... and the sooner the better!
The beach is very quite, as most homes do not have neighbors behind them, they enjoy a sense of a private beachfront yard! The entire community is low density and is close enough to the resort it is easy enough to walk to. Homeowners here enjoy a short beach walk to the Mayan Palace elegant gourmet dinners, Sunday buffet brunches, a round of golf, game of tennis, a spa appointment or for just a cold cocktail at one of their several restaurants. These are just among a few things to can enjoy at a moments notice, making the Playa Miramar location even more enjoyable and valuable! Not to mention with electricity coming to the area…
Quite a few of the “pioneer original owners” have enjoyed their beach homes for 20+ years, “we’ve logged enough hours on this beach, time to hang up the beach towel” one quoted. Some have fully enjoyed their properties and are unable to come to the beach for health / relocation reasons, so you can find a very few select properties available for as low as $450,000! Land values alone on this beach have held at approx. $600k for beachfront lots with no homes! Larger and more luxurious homes start around $850,000 and up. Depending on the seller motivation, you will see a wide price range of properties available.
One thing is for sure, you can not miss the pride of ownership these homeowners show in their community -- whether you are on the road side or the beach side. Driving in you will be greeted by their 24 hour patrolling security team, a trusted group that has worked for the community for many years. Just walk along the beach and you can not miss their carefully placed sea shell paths, palapas ready to accept neighbors for impromptu social gatherings and then there is always the “sunset happy hour”, a daily social event! As one home owner put it “just keep the drinks cool and your attitude at the right latitude, and everything else will work itself out”.
At the west end of Playa Miramar beachfront community you can not miss the tall towers of Encanto Living and Luna Blanca Resorts. "Related by family development expertise and located within the Mayan Resort's residential master planned development, the luxury lifestyle of Luna Blanca & Encanto Living rise above the tranquil beaches of Playa Miramar and the Sea of Cortez", explains Richard Savino. Rich is the 2010 President-Elect of the Puerto Penasco AMPI Real Estate Association and owner of Rocky Point Resort Properties. "As a Realtor and the HOA Manager for Luna Blanca & Encanto Living, I know first hand why homeowners love the luxury and privacy of these beach front condos on Playa Miramar. They also share, as do I, the vision of the future Mayan master plan now becoming a reality with the opening of the international airport." These 2 developments offer up the best in “East Beach Resort Luxury Residences”. Immaculate grounds, 24 hour security, enormous pools and every single amenity you would expect a resort condo tower to offer is here .. and more! Luna Blanca offers luxury villas which feature their own private courtyard pool to cool off in and a sky deck complete with cooking area and sunset views year round! Encanto living offers a very unique atmosphere and boasts the only penthouses with private elevators. The view from these towers is absolutely spectacular and breathtaking! Enjoy unobstructed 180 degree views of the entire Puerto Penasco beach peninsula, from the Mayan Palace to Rocky Point central -- Truly amazing!
To the west of Luna Blanca is El Dorado Resort Residential & Resort community, comprised and designed to offer several different uses of land options. Here you can find residential lots to beachfront and off beach homes for sale. Eventually condominium resorts will exist within El Dorado Resort, a subdivision of this community. Now you will find only a select few of gorgeous beachfront and off beach properties being offered for sale here where utilities and services are under construction.
On Wednesday February 17th, all the residences for sale in the entire area, including Luna Blanca and Encanto Living will be held Open for Realtors and the public to preview. Local brokerages of Century 21 Sun & Sand, Coldwell Banker Rocky Point along with Rocky Point Resort Properties will be your host, as you wind your way through these important and unique communities. From 11-3 on February 17th – you will have the opportunity to meet homeowners and Realtors to preview the homes and properties for sale in this area -- which is enjoying a brighter future more than ever in 2010!

Co Authored by Heidi Wosak & Playa Miramar Homeowner Al Schwartz- 2008
This is the first article in a series about getting to know the beachfront neighborhoods of Puerto Peñasco in more detail. The miles of beaches hold little known secrets that few venture out to discover. We start first at the eastern edge of Puerto Peñasco with the community of Playa Miramar. The history and commentary from an actual homeowner, who has been there from the beginning, should help the reader understand why this community is truly a hidden treasure.
The beach community of Playa Miramar sits some 22 miles south and east from the town of Puerto Peñasco proper, but is worlds away in almost every aspect. The desert beach is a wide, white sand expanse, unbroken for miles in either direction. The terrain to the sea is a gentle slope that allows for easy wading as well as swimming and, at the time, camping. Homeowner Al Schwartz still boasts that “spending time at Miramar is one of THE great ways to spend a weekend!”
The land now known as Playa Miramar was owned by an Ejido, or farming commune, that began leasing beachfront lots in early 1990. Since Al was more than passing familiar with the place, his family decided to take a chance and buy a lease. Al goes on to share his thoughts, “Of course, the idea of building a beach home was just a distant dream in 1991 when we got our lot. First, because we were not exactly sure of the rules governing home ownership on leased land, and second because the property was off the power grid. In fact it was nearly 20 miles to the nearest utilities of any kind. So began the odyssey for answers to our questions.”
Al shares his experience here with us about building and living in Playa Miramar. “In 1997, after much investigation of both the legalities of building in Mexico and the various ways and means of providing utilities to a home on the beach, I was ready to commit to building. My research yielded a few new wrinkles to the building game as it was practiced on Miramar back then. First, I opted for a new type of construction. Instead of the usual concrete and concrete block construction, I chose Fanosa Panel; a product that is made in Mexico and one which my local architect was very familiar with, since he was a distributor. Fanosa panel is a composed of a steel web truss, sandwiched between two mats of steel mesh and the voids are filled with polystyrene foam. The panels can be made in any length and any thickness. The panels are erected and clamped together, then stuccoed. This method of construction not only gave my new home a ‘fast track’ in construction, the finished product rendered R-34 walls and an R-54 ceiling. Adding custom made Argon gas filled thermal windows gives the house an outstanding insulation factor, which is great for both heating and cooling. With the advent of better solar electric systems, getting the house powered up was a lot easier than I thought it would be. The system, which incorporates solar panels, an inverter (to convert the DC to AC) and battery bank was complimented by a 12 KW, L.P. gas-fired Onan generator for those times when the Sun’s rays and the storage batteries didn’t suffice. Together the system provides all the energy you could need. Since the house has every amenity any house stateside could want, including satellite TV and internet as well as central heating and air-conditioning, the system has done a terrific job. If you weren’t aware of what was powering your hair dryers and trash compactor, you’d never know that you were off the power grid. Add in a 2,500 gallon water cistern (water is delivered via truck on demand) and a septic system, a 1,000 Liter L.P. gas tank (also delivered on demand) and the entire house is self-sufficient. Beachside living at Miramar is nothing short of spectacular. I know that it sounds like hyperbole, but take this into account; I live next to some of my dearest friends. These are people, like me, who walk the road a little less traveled. The beach has its own rules of etiquette, which lend an even more familial atmosphere. You never know when someone will stop by for a chat, or a drink or when you will do the same while walking along the beach. Almost without exception, everyone that lives at Miramar is mellow…and has beer or Margaritas at the ready! While there are always those who chose to dramatize (even Eden had its snake after all), the prevailing attitude among my friends and neighbors at Miramar is: “If you’re Lucky Enough to be at the Beach…You’re Lucky Enough!” Al’s dedication to building with the highest quality materials and for full time living conditions makes his home one of the prized beachfront estates in Playa Miramar.
Since completing his home in 1997, several interesting things have happened, most notably that their leases have been converted to bank trusts (giving us full legal rights of ownership, and even title insurance) the Mayan Place Resort has been constructed immediately adjacent to the community and Puerto Peñasco has been ‘discovered.’ With all that, their HOA (El Pueblito de Playa Miramar, A.C.) has begun the process for getting the neighborhood on the electric power grid for the owners who want that, as well as discussing the possibility of putting in water mains to do away with the trucked water.
Al and his neighbors share a feeling that, “one of the best things about Miramar was its isolation. Little Playa Miramar is growing up…and fast!”
Al is selling his home to move along in his life and offers this advice to anyone who is considering Playa Miramar as their next beachfront vacation neighborhood, “The beach is still white. The water is still blue. The people are still friendly, and the beer is still cold. Thankfully, some things don’t change.” That is the Spirit Al!
Within the past year the lots that are on the north side of the beachfront community of Playa Miramar have received titles. There are 3 tiers of lots to choose from.
Currently there is no “popcorn trail” or signs for that matter leading the way to Playa Miramar so, if you would like to see this community first hand, here is the secret to getting there: Head Southeast on Fremont Blvd, pass Playa Encanto and keep heading South at the “Y”. A few miles past you will come upon double arches, take a right here! Go down this road until it basically ends and turns to the left. Keep driving East past the condominium towers of Luna Blanca to the entrance of Playa Miramar. There is a guard gate for the Mayan Palace, take a right here and you are now entering into one of the rare gems of Puerto Peñasco- Playa Miramar. Welcome and drive slowly, wave to the neighbors and respect the peace of this community.
