Welcome to Paradise

Courtesy of Tropicasa Realty Villa Verano - Puerto Vallarta Beach Club is an exclusive and private beachfront boutique resort property available for the first time in three decades. This property is suitable for commercial purposes, as a private secluded family estate or corporate compound. This walled estate has been host to dignitaries, corporate executives, and a myriad of celebrities and Hollywood’s elite! Currently, the property consists of the main flagship casona, Villa Verano, and four brand new luxury ocean-side villas, along with the common facilities that make up the Puerto Vallarta Beach Club. An extremely unique property on the Mexican Riviera, located only a 2-hour flight from the West Coast of the U.S. to enjoy the tropical paradise of Vallarta.

Mayne Island, in Canadian Gulf Islands, 64+ acre oceanfront point...a WOW!

May 29, 2013 — Liane ("Li") Read, Sea to Sky Real Estate

Superlative oceanfront point (64+ acres), on tranquil Mayne Island...subdividable potential...an heirloom property awaiting your plans. A definite WOW! Discover Mayne Island's tranquility! A sunny pristine oceanfront paradise, featuring a private 64.12 acres, that encompasses a beautiful point of land (all of St. John Point is encompassed, here). Enjoy several sandy & sweeping bays & crushed shell coves, and walk your own forest trails. Old Growth forest here! Exposures are East / South / West, for excellent all day/year round sun exposure. The very private property features rocky knolls, forest preserves with private hiking trails, an old growth forest enclave, Arbutus and Garry Oak groves, sunny meadow areas, & an historic orchard. Originally one of the Japanese holdings on Mayne Island, this property has been enjoyed as a family retreat, as is, by current owners, since the early 1950's. It remains in a very pristine state. The family, with environmental natures, have respected the land, and it is minimally developed (there is an original older cottage structure, in the meadow/orchard area, plus a well, and the truly valuable aspect is the untouched nature of the land). This is the very best oceanfront acreage available in the Southern Gulf Islands, and may offer potential for some subdivision. Keep as a private family compound or create a corporate retreat, or, investigate the subdivision potential of this wonderful oceanfront acreage. It encompasses all of St. John Point, and the view panorama is expansive.
