While breezy beachfront settings are always an enjoyable atmosphere, there’s no reason to count out a lush and quiet jungle setting. A lot of properties claim to be secluded and private, but this home really means it. Rancho Escondido, which appropriately means “Hidden Ranch,” is a jungle hideaway located in Xpu-Ha, a municipality located between Playa del Carmen and Tulum. Set on 2.47 acres of Mayan Riviera jungle, the lavish estate has all the necessities of a Mexican getaway like a 2,000-square-foot pool with cascading waterfall, vaulted ceilings, panoramic views and electric-gate entry.
The house comes furnished and is decked out in curated art and wood from India, Africa and Thailand. The main house is 3,500 square feet and has a master bedroom and second bedroom, both with en-suite bathrooms. A spacious living room, fully-equipped stainless steel kitchen with onyx countertops, multi-function studio and curved staircase complete the rest of the interior. There is also a 1,000-square-foot guest house with a full bathroom.
In addition to the large, resort-style pool, the outdoor area also has a living space complete with a marble table that seats 12, a barbecue, built-in jaguar sofa and thatched roof.
The estate is modestly listed at $625,000 and is currently owned by Jonny White, a member of Art Department, a Canadian electronic music group.
