Only in a dream might one expect to find a gorgeous home hidden within the trees of a lush tropical forest banked by the Pacific and contained inside a world-renowned luxury resort.
Yet such a place exists in the waking world and is currently available. The residence for sale in the Riviera Nayarit region north of Puerto Vallarta is part of the One & Only Resorts 400-acre Mandarina development at Lo de Marcos on the Mexican coastline. One & Only is an ultra-luxury group of resorts and private homes in distinctive locations around the world. This $8.9 million home perfectly reflects that mindset.

Embracing the modern idea that caring for the earth is not just healthy for nature but for ourselves, the residence aims to secure the link between us and the natural world in order to maximize human health, performance and mental well-being.
Clean lines and natural materials such as stone, wood and concrete combine with large windows and outdoor living spaces to offer views that complement, rather than overshadow, the environment.
Sights of the ocean can be found from almost any corner of the property. (LPR LUXURY)
With 12,540 square feet of living space, the home contains five bedrooms and five full bathrooms: three primary suites and two double queen suites. There’s also a powder room.
A media room opens to an outdoor fire pit. Covered exterior dining and seating areas create a home that blends indoor and outdoor living, immersing residents and guests in nature.
The home boasts not one but three “primary” suites. (LPR LUXURY)
The sleek kitchen is outfitted with Subzero and Wolf equipment for cooling and cooking. The open floor plan links the kitchen to living and dining areas that, in turn, reveal jungle and ocean views.
Space is available for service staff. There is an infinity pool and a two-car garage.
Soaring ceilings are clad in warm wood. (LPR LUXURY)
Homeowners share the resort’s dining options, including restaurants and bars offering everything from traditional Mexican cuisine to modern fusion dishes. Also available are resort amenities and activities, including a spa, fitness center, tennis courts and a variety of water sports.
Only a few decades ago, the Riviera Nayarit area was considered the perfect place for laid-back beach town visits, rather than high-end living. Even for luxury lovers, however, much of the appeal lies in the connection with nature: hiking paths, verdant jungle and breathtaking sunsets. The nearby Marietas Islands marine preserve is revered for snorkeling and diving and as a place to watch the annual whale migration from the north to warmer southern waters.

Lo de Marcos is a one-hour drive from Licenciado Gustavo Diaz Ordaz International Airport (PVR) in Puerto Vallarta.
Catherine Martin and Jason Edwards of LPR Luxury are the listing agents for home 32.
