PARADISE FOUND BY ALYSON PITARRE

A 420-ACRE PRIVATE BEACHFRONT COMPOUND IN COSTALEGRE, MEXICO, ENCHANTS WITH NATURE PRESERVATION AND AN AUTHENTIC HACIENDA EXPERIENCE.

S ome properties cast an instantaneous spell over their owners. This was the case for a California attorney when, in 2005, he and his wife first encountered 420 acres of undeveloped land in Costalegre, Mexico, set along 1.25 miles of pristine beachfront coastline in the heart of the Bahía de Chamela. The two of them were immediately captivated by the property’s raw beauty and unspoiled white sandy beaches. While watching the first sunset together off Playa Rosadas, all the burdens and pressures from back home immediately melted away. “It was like taking a weight off my shoulders,” he describes. That same feeling is what he hopes to pass along to the next owner of Las Rosadas, the luxury vacation compound he and his family have enjoyed for many years.
