Casa Luum is a 4-bedroom family residence inside Playacar Phase 2, Playa del Carmen's most established gated community. The 466 sqm (5,016 sqft) construction sits on a 670 sqm (7,212 sqft) lot — one of the more generous lots in the phase — with an oversize private pool, covered terrace for al-fresco dining, and covered parking for up to 4 vehicles (uncommon in current Playacar inventory).
The main kitchen acts as the social core of the ground floor. Island and countertops are finished in Antolini Tech slabs (Italian large-format porcelain with the visual depth of Calacatta marble but a non-porous, heat-, scratch-, and stain-resistant surface). This is a kitchen built for real heavy use, not just display.
The property integrates premium residential technology: 24-panel solar system (energy self-sufficiency in tropical climate), central audio network with ceiling-mounted speakers throughout every interior space and out onto the terrace, 100-inch laser TV projector system in the main living area, and motorized Sheer Elegance Parisian-style blinds with automated control over privacy and natural light.
The 4 bedrooms are configured as three traditional sleeping rooms plus a fourth room currently operating as a private gym. Every bedroom has its own en-suite bathroom, plus an additional half-bath for guests. The primary suite is notably larger than the secondaries, with an oversized bathroom and substantial walk-in closet.
The outdoor area is organized around the private pool (significantly larger than typical Playacar Phase 2 offerings), surrounded by mature tropical vegetation and a shaded palapa for outdoor meals. Personal security is covered with a complete ADT alarm system, exterior cameras and custom protection on entrances and windows — on top of the 24/7 security inherent to the gated community.
Premium location within Playacar Phase 2: walking distance to 3 OXXO convenience stores, premium restaurants at Plaza Playacar (BE Element gym, Sports World), Chedraui and Soriana supermarkets, El Árbol Azomali bilingual school (inside Phase 2), Hospiten Riviera Maya hospital (inside Phase 2). Minutes from the Caribbean Sea, Xcaret Park and Liverpool department store. Cancun International Airport 50 minutes via Highway 307.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Casa Luum cost?
Casa Luum is listed at $1,750,000 USD for immediate delivery. Finished property in Playacar Phase 2 with complete title — foreign buyer acquires via bank trust (~$2.5-4K USD setup + ~$600 USD/year maintenance). Typical closing timeline: 8-12 weeks from reservation to keys.
What does the 24-panel solar system include?
The 24 solar panels provide significant energy self-sufficiency, critical in tropical climate where AC runs nearly year-round. Reduces or eliminates CFE (electricity) bill, generating estimated savings of $400-$800 USD monthly depending on usage. System included in sale at no additional cost.
What is Antolini Tech and why does the kitchen feature it?
Antolini Tech is a large-format Italian porcelain line manufactured by Antolini (Verona, Italy, 60+ years in natural stone). Visually replicates highly-sought Calacatta marble but with superior technical properties: non-porous surface (won't absorb wines, coffee, oils), heat-, scratch-, and stain-resistant. Kitchen designed for real intensive use, not just display.
How does Playacar Phase 2 compare to Phase 1?
Playacar Phase 2 (where Casa Luum is) is the more recent and residential zone — features 18-hole golf course designed by Robert von Hagge, Hospiten hospital inside the perimeter, El Árbol Azomali bilingual school inside, higher density of premium services (BE Element gym, SANIMAL vet, Plaza Playacar). Phase 1 is older (1992) with Mexican colonial profile and better walkability to Quinta Avenida. Both share 24/7 security and restricted access.
Does bank trust (fideicomiso) apply for foreign buyers?
Yes. Playacar is within Mexico's restricted zone (50 km from coast) so foreigners acquire via bank trust (fideicomiso), standard legal vehicle regulated by Foreign Investment Law. Approximate cost: $2,500-$4,000 USD initial setup + ~$600 USD annual maintenance. Term: 50 years renewable indefinitely. Confers all full property rights (use, sale, inheritance, rental, modification). Banks: Banamex, Santander, BBVA, Scotiabank. Nautilus coordinates bilingual notaries.
What's the expected ROI in Playacar Phase 2?
Playacar Phase 2 confirms 8-12% annual appreciation sustained since 1992 per AMPI. Typical vacation rental 5-8% net yield (regulated by internal bylaws — most properties require minimum 30-day rentals to preserve stable residential character). Historical high-season vacancy rate >65%. For a $1.75M USD property: expected appreciation $140K-$210K USD annually + optional traditional rental $87K-$140K USD gross. Total potential: 13-20% annual combined.
