Built by the late British corporate raider James Goldsmith, who once lorded over this richly virginal expanse of nature as though it were his own empire.

A 2,000-acre private estate with several villas that at various times housed Mr. Goldsmith’s three families, mistresses and high-powered visitors including Richard Nixon, Henry Kissinger and Ronald and Nancy Reagan.

These days there’s trouble brewing on Cuixmala, which is nestled inside the 32,473-acre Chamela-Cuixmala Biosphere Reserve, a rolling expanse of federally protected coastal land.
