LAKE VIEW LOT
RARE CHAPALA VILLAGE LOT
– $1,400,000 PESOS –
As the municipal seat of Chapala, the town of Chapala is a sought after location. The tax revenue from nearby Ajijic and San Antonio helps fund Chapala’s expansive boulevards, plaza and Malecon with the towns parks and infrastructures typically being well maintained. A building lot in the town is rare. When they do come on the market, they tend to be small. One of the reasons Chapala was chosen as the municipal seat was its large flat area that allowed orderly grid streets but that also means most homes in Chapala do NOT have Lake Views UNLESS they are actually on the lake. This building lot is The Exception !!!
