This three-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bathroom home in La Ceiba, a gated enclave inside the Selvamar community, offers roughly 2,915 square feet (272 m²) of living space across three floors with elevator access throughout. Originally listed at $550,000 USD and now reduced to $449,000, the property is being sold turn-key, and the seller has indicated a vehicle may be included in the deal.
The ground floor uses an open-plan layout connecting the living and dining areas with a galley-style kitchen. Sliding doors open to a wraparound garden terrace that wraps around the home's private green space, usable for outdoor dining, morning coffee, or entertaining in the shade. There are no interior steps on this level, and a small ramp has been added at the entry, making the ground floor close to barrier-free.
The second floor contains two guest bedrooms, one with an ensuite bathroom, a third full bathroom, and a flexible room that can work as a home office, TV room, nursery, or studio depending on the buyer's needs. The third floor is given over entirely to the primary suite, with a king-sized bedroom, dressing room, large closets, and a spa-style ensuite bathroom. The elevator reaches all three levels, which makes the layout workable for owners planning to age in place or for households with mobility considerations. The home isn't ADA-certified, but the design was clearly done with future flexibility in mind.
Outside the home itself, owners have access to a shared community pool with a grill area and lounge a short walk away, which avoids the maintenance and cost of a private pool. Selvamar's broader amenities include nature trails through the jungle landscaping, an on-site school, tennis and basketball courts, and 24/7 gated security. The community has a reputation as quiet, family-friendly, and eco-conscious, with wide sidewalks and shaded paths.
Location is roughly ten minutes by car from downtown Playa del Carmen and the beach. Selvamar sits north of the main town center, which gives it a calmer feel than the Centro neighborhoods while still being close enough for daily errands, restaurants, and beach access. The mix of full-time residents, families, and expats makes for a settled, low-turnover environment.
At $449,000 for a 2,915 square foot home with an elevator, private garden, and community amenities included, the price is positioned below the original list and reflects a meaningful reduction. The combination of features here is uncommon in the Playa market: most homes at this size don't include an elevator, and most gated communities at this price don't offer the trail network and school access that Selvamar does.
The property suits buyers thinking ahead about accessibility, retirees who want single-floor living options without giving up space for visiting family, or households that need flexible rooms for an office or guest setup. With the home offered turn-key and the possibility of including a vehicle, the entry process is straightforward for buyers coming from abroad.
