Location: Cozumel Island, on the Caribbean coast of the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico, is a true tropical paradise. Casa Gordon is located on Palancar Beach, directly in front of the northern portion of world famous Palancar Reef. If you are on the water above Palancar Reef over the dive sites known as Palancar Francesa, Santa Rosa, and Palancar Gardens, look toward the beach; Casa Gordon is the large white columned house on the beachfront. By road, the gate to Casa Gordon is located at Kilometer 18.25, Carretera Costera Sur (South Coastal Highway) about one kilometer South of the El Cedral exit.

The Property: The property consists of approximately 15 acres of pristine coastal rain forest within the Ecological Zone (a protected area similar to a national park). The reefs and waters in front of Casa Gordon are part of the National Marine Park. Because of this, the entire area around the property is protected from over-development and exploitation of natural resources. See the Picture Gallery for some striking views of Casa Gordon.

The House: The house is a luxury residence designed using the best characteristics of both Mexican Caribbean and Neoclassic Spanish styles. The main house makes up approximately 18,000 square feet of functional elegance. All living areas are fully air-conditioned, of course, but the design and numerous ceiling fans provide the choice of enjoying the refreshing and natural sea breezes inside the house as well as out. See the Picture Gallery for Details & Photographs. Electrical service is from the municipal power plant (with generator backup), telephone service is through Telmex optical fiber lines connected to the house PBX system, television is via satellite, and water is drawn from wells located on the property then processed through a reverse osmosis desalinization and purification system. A backup water supply from the municipal water company is available, and city water is run through the purification system whenever it is used to supply the house.

Water Desalinization & Purification System: Water is supplied from wells in the jungle to the east of the house. The water is processed through a state of the art desalinization and purification plant (reverse osmosis system) that produces pure potable water. The water is further treated with chlorine and pumped throughout the house via a pressurized electrical pump system, making pure fresh water available from the tap. The system is designed and installed by the same group that provides water for the cruise ships and water bottling companies. Bottled water can also be made available in each bathroom if requested.

Generator Backup System: Electricity is supplied from the local utility company, but there are occasional outages. Casa Gordon utilizes a Cummins diesel powered generator for back-up power. An automatic switch activates the generator immediately upon loss of regular power and the house's electrical system is immediately switched to generator power. (Pictures)
