****SOLD**** Camp Gecko Lease Available - Bahia de los Angeles

For Sale/Lease in Bahia de los Angeles:

I’m selling the improvements to my lot that I lease from Abraham “Doc” Vasquez at Camp Gecko four miles south of Bahia de los Angeles for $6,000. I will not lie or misrepresent this. This is a 30’ x 60’ lot to park your trailer and boats on. It is literally a stones throw from the beach and has one row of similar lots with trailers and beach houses in front.

My lot has a 12’ x 12’ concrete block garage with an 1100 liter pila on top and about 250 watts of solar panels with six 6-volt golf cart batteries and 2,500 watt inverter. Everything (structure, concrete, solar, septic, etc.) is about 12 years old. It has a wood deck that measures 12’ wide by 30’ long to provide shade for the camper underneath and also acts as a nice elevated patio. Attached to the garage is another concrete block room I started with the intention of making it a nice, large bathroom/shower. I have a 22' camper currently parked under the deck. It will easily accommodate a 26’ trailer. Adjacent to the trailer is a concrete patio that is 12’ wide and also 30’ long and I park my boats there when I am gone. It is covered by a white polycarbonate roof that extends off the deck. Look at the pics and you will understand.

I recently built a neat little cardon fence along the side to provide sun protection in the morning and privacy. It looks very nice.

What I am really selling here is the opportunity to locate in Bahia for extremely cheap and to be in a very safe area with great long-time neighbors who know their way around Baja and are wonderful company. So many people move to Baja and find themselves all alone with no one to hang out with. Camp Gecko is very different. We have lots of neighbors and usually coordinate our visits so we always have a friend to fish with, swim with, throw horse shoes, party, and eat. It is a community.

Camp Gecko is a rustic little camp and some of our neighbors are not the best house-keepers. It is what it is and we love it and are improving it on a regular basis. The way this works is that you purchase and own the improvements to the land but if and when this all ends it all goes back to Doc as the property owner. You take what you can take (your camper and gear) but the improvements built upon the land stay. Doc no longer leases new lots so buying from a current owner is the ONLY way you will ever move in.

If you are not familiar with Camp Gecko, it was a rent-by-the-day camp for many years and introduced thousands of campers and future home owners to Bahia and Baja. Then about 15 years ago Doc ended the camping and began leasing out the lots. It is in the south part of Bahia, which means it has the absolutely best weather. When the town and north beaches are disgustingly hot and windy and Rincon is all but unbearable, Camp Gecko is a welcome refuge. The winds wrap around the bay and become a refreshing ocean breeze in your face.

We are all fisherman and we talk and eat fishing. We have a rough boat ramp in front of camp that works fine for aluminum boats and even fiberglass boats with the right tide and a little help from a neighbor. We do it all the time. The whale sharks literally swim in front of camp all summer and fall. While you sleep you hear whales blow and when you wake up in the morning you see porpoise swimming along the beach.

Why am I selling? Because I leased two lots in the front row next to the ramp. So I’m just relocating my stuff about 200’ and building a nice little casita. This lot will become available in the next couple months, as soon as I build a garage on the new lot, remove the camper, and move my stuff. You and I can speak with Doc to determine details of the lease (it will be about $750 a year – but no guarantees till you speak with him). One way to look at this is your savings from parking your boats and trailer here and not paying a monthly storage fee or trailering them back and forth with all the wear, tear, blown tires, etc., will easily pay for your entire investment in a few years. It did for me. So if you are interested send me a U2U or email me at dbpescador@gmail.com. If you just want to bust on Camp Gecko then screw you and please move along.

We were actually catching 20lb yellowtail on surface iron immediately after pushing the boat off the trailer. Once in a lifetime fishing that was - and it may repeat again. And it's all thrown in at no added cost!

And it's all thrown in at no added cost! I received a report last week that my neighbor Ray, just 4 houses north of Camp Gecko, caught a few 20+ pound yellows from his kayak just off the beach.

Now, THIS is how to sell some property!!!!

Now, that I can easily check, from one of my L.A. Bay trip pages at VivaBaja.com: GPS and Milage Notes (map datum NAD27 Mex.) 0.0 Camp Gecko Driveway (4.1 mi. so. of pavement/ town): 28°53.96', 113°31.85' ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The pavement in town is at the Xitlali market (cold beer for sale). Isn't 4.1 miles "almost" exactly 4 miles?

Almost exactly 677.43 KM....now I understand your game

"Almost" allows for a little leeway.
677.43 sounds more like an exact figure than an approximation.
How much closer can you be?
