4-Bedroom Townhouse in Palma Grand · Puerto Morelos is a 4-bed, 3-bath townhouse in Colonia, Puerto Morelos, Riviera Maya, Mexico, listed at MX$3,000,000. Fideicomiso: Required (foreign + restricted zone). Sargassum exposure: Inland (N/A). Title type: Escritura.

At $3M MXN (about $160,000 USD), this is a 4-bedroom, 3-bath townhouse over two storeys in Puerto Morelos, semi-furnished, in a gated community, sold by a single owner with a registered escritura and held in a fideicomiso.

Wake to the village quiet of Puerto Morelos, send the kids to the far end of the house, and still hear the kettle from the kitchen. There is simply room here to spread out.

That room is the point. Four real bedrooms across two storeys at this price is unusual in the Riviera Maya, and it is what makes this a genuine family-and-snowbird home rather than a one-bedroom rental dressed up as a lifestyle. The single-owner history means a clean, traceable title rather than a tangle of past hands, and the semi-furnished handover gives you a head start without locking you into someone else's taste. Puerto Morelos itself does the rest of the work: a working fishing town with a walkable square, a real expat and Québécois community, and Cancún's international airport about 30 minutes up the road.

Foreigners own here securely every day. Title sits in a fideicomiso, a 50-year renewable bank trust in which you are the full beneficiary: you can live in it, rent it, renovate it, sell it, and leave it to your heirs. It is ownership, not a lease, and no residency is required to buy. This is land held by clean registered escritura, verified at the public registry, not ejido land. Before any money moves, that title is confirmed, you close with a named notario through escrow rather than a wire to a personal account, and you are welcome to bring your own independent lawyer. We welcome the scrutiny.

A couple of honest notes: it is semi-furnished, so you will spend on finishing the rest, and being a townhouse it shares walls rather than standing alone. Plan for all-in closing of roughly 5 to 8 percent, a one-time trust setup, and a modest annual fideicomiso fee of about $600 to $800; the 2026 SRE foreign-acquisition permit is part of the process. When you sell, Mexico applies a capital-gains tax that residency or an RFC can reduce.

Take your time. Ask us for the full due-diligence pack, including title status and fideicomiso details, or book a no-obligation video walkthrough. No pressure, ever.

Questions about this property

Can a foreigner buy this property?

Yes. Foreign buyers can own this Townhouse in Colonia, Puerto Morelos through a fideicomiso, a 50-year renewable bank trust used for property inside Mexico's restricted coastal and border zones. The buyer holds full rights to use, rent, renovate, and sell. The trust is set up at closing through a Mexican bank, and our team coordinates it as part of the transaction.

How much sargassum affects this location?

This property is inland, so direct sargassum exposure is not applicable. Sargassum is the seaweed that affects some Caribbean beaches seasonally; it is a coastal consideration and does not reach inland locations like this one.

What kind of title does this property have?

The title type on file is Escritura. Title is verified by a Mexican notario, an appointed public official who confirms ownership, checks for liens, and registers the deed, as part of the closing process we coordinate.

What are the closing costs?

Buyer closing costs in the Riviera Maya typically run about 5 to 8 percent of the purchase price, covering the notario fee, acquisition tax, registration, and (where required) fideicomiso setup. Our closing-costs guide has a city-by-city breakdown.
