El Encanto is a planned community within the five-star Altozano Colima development, created for expats from the U.S. and Canada who are seeking safety, comfort, stellar weather, modern conveniences, and an enviable quality of life at reasonable prices. Situated an easy drive from Pacific coast beaches or from the lively metropolis of Guadalajara, its luxurious grounds on a world-class 18-hole golf course are a destination unto themselves.
El Encanto Altozano is located six minutes from the capital city of Colima, with a vibrant restaurant scene, world class Puerta de Hierro and Colima hospitals, malls with every type of shopping and consumer goods, Sam’s Club and Walmart, Starbucks, all major fast food franchises, and the niceties of a capital city without the traffic or pollution that can plague larger towns.
International airports are located an hour away in Manzanillo, and two hours away in Guadalajara, with nearby Colima airport featuring national flights to Mexico City and Tijuana.
The El Encanto vision is of a warm, friendly expat community of stand-alone homes on spacious lots that boast U.S. level construction, fit, and finishes, with an authentically Mexican flavor. The floorplans offer single level flow for owners in a variety of configurations, whether it’s a two-bedroom plus office for a couple that enjoys occasional guests, a three-bedroom plus office configuration with increased entertaining space for visitors, or a four-bedroom plus office two-story plan with the owner’s accommodations on the ground floor. All are available in either garden or fairway view variations, with the fairway lots more expansive, for true golf-course living.
El Encanto homes are built from environmentally responsible, energy efficient materials that result in reduced operating costs. Their layouts are crafted to be harmonious with an active adult lifestyle, with ample spaces that are intuitive and intelligently rendered by a renowned American designer who’s built dozens of multi-million-dollar homes in the most prestigious locales in Mexico.
