Bahia Asuncion House For Sale

DianaT - 10-13-2009 at 08:32 PM

As we did before with other houses, we are posting this new house for our friend, Armando Verduzco. He was our builder and has become a good friend. We have no financial stake in any possible transaction.

The nearly finished house is a small two bedroom, one bath concrete block home. Edit---lot is 15 M wide and 23 M deep, or approx 50 by 75 feet

From the back of the house, there is a view of the ocean, but there are vacant lots between it and the ocean. It is an easy walk down to the small bay where boats are launched.

It would make a good fishing get away or small retirement home, and with the small lot, there would be little care required. We have very reliable caretakers for our home that we can recommend for when you are not here. They live very close to this house.

Armando is asking $350,000 pesos mas o menos. The reason for the mas o menos is it depends on the amenities one would desire----so it is all negotiable.

This is the house from the road.



The house from the small bay



Armando's phone numbers are,

615 160-147 or 615 160 0298 From the US, it would have the 011-52 in front.
E-mail is Avg_17@hotmail.com

However, Armando speaks only a few words of English, so it is best to see him in person---besides, anyone interested in Bahia Asuncion should visit here.

The easist way to find Armando is to go to his hotel---easy to find on the main street.



That is where you can find his brother Victor who speaks a little English and who along with Armando, runs one of the sport fishing operations in town.

Victor, carrying the second place yellowtail in this years tournament---Armando caught the fish, however.



Or, as another person did, you can stop at the Delegation at the Entrance to town, ask the police, and they will escort you to Armando's new lumber and building supply business.

Thank you
John and Diane

diana...what do you mean by "the amenities one would desire"??...like water? sewer? electricity?...the inside is not finished yet?...we will be staying at shari's and juans in a couple weeks and would like to look at the house then, if we could.

Opps, I forgot to say that it will have city water and electricity and a septic. It is good to have a large tinaco for water storage for the times our water goes out---

The inside is not finished nor or the details, I will send you a U2U

Hope things are better in Mulege and no more storms come your way!

I didn't know that there was more than one sportfishing operation in Asuncion. I guess he must be pretty decent if he came in 2nd at the tournament.

There are three licensed ones.

Diane,
Cute house, from the picture it looks like he is building one next door also. Very close to the new bar, what's going on with the bar? Did Jesus ever get it opened?

The new bar Laurieboats is speaking about is that little wooden building down by the launch area---it is really cute inside, but not finished yet. It is a further than it looks in the picture, but as easy walk.

http://forums.bajanomad.com/viewthread.php?tid=39035#pid4208...

As always, Lauri, money is the issue, but we really hope they can get it together some time in the near future.

No, it is not leased land. The price includes the land. The mas o menos is mainly about how one wants it finished---if one wants some things upgraded, or do some finish work themselves, or whatever.

Yes, the price is correct.

Some people buy it in the name of someone who is a Mexican citizen, but we, like many others feel safer with a fideocomiso. The fideocomiso is, of course, another expense and I know the price has gone up since we got ours. Ours was about $5,500.00 and took four months.

Of course, some of you are married to Mexican citizens so you can buy it in their name and all you have to do is be really nice to your spouse. :biggrin:

Easy assumption----we are surrounded by ejido land, but this property is in the municipality and has clear title.

Kinda of funny he didn't face it toward the ocean. The shingles on the front are installed wrong.

Bajaboy - 10-18-2009 at 07:34 AM

He probably didn't face it towards the ocean as it blows hard most of the time from the ocean...a function of practicality I suppose.

No, it does NOT blow HARD MOST of the time---we live even closer to the ocean than this house. Gees

Most afternoons there is wind in Bahia Asuncion, and yes sometimes it is enough to blow sand around----even in town. In fact, sometimes it is blowing harder on the other side of the hill where your house is and the dirt and dust from the dirt roads is flying around. But usually, especially in the summer months when it hot, we are apt to get more afternoon breeze or wind which keeps us cooler.

During the few windy months and at some other times, it is apt to blow all day long, but usually, it is the afternoons.

The house would look quite unusual if it was oriented toward the ocean and not the street. Yes, if a gringo had designed and built it, it would be different---that is the way it is.

Yes, our house is oriented toward the ocean because the local who was going to buy this house had Armando build it that way---and then Laurieboats and husband had there home next to ours built oriented toward the ocean, and someday the street will be behind us----

If the wind blew hard most of the time, no one would be able to go fishing ever----so why would there be THREE SEPARATE licensed fishing operations in town. Juan and Shari's, Victor at the Hotel Verduzco, and Manuel in front of the California Fishing Co-op. Difficult to to fish in hard blowing wind.

Resident know-it-all? Interesting that you call it the obvious----is it the obvious? Did we miss something? Does the wind blow hard most of the time around here? Is that the obvious reason he oriented the house toward the street?

I guess I owe you an apology since you just stated the obvious. Guess you seem to know what and why --- if it is obvious, it must be true. :rolleyes::rolleyes:

capt. mike - 10-18-2009 at 09:12 AM

for my money i'd want to view the water and could give a rip about some occasional wind. All the more reason to get some wind generators going.
the only way to correct the judgment call of the builder is to create a view deck at the rear.
still a great price i'd think especially if you could negotiate some finish work to be thrown in for a fast cash close.

anything more on that plane theft??

This would probably be a good place to have wind powered generators---should work well.

Have not asked nor heard anymore about the plane---maybe Shai has?

If it blows hard most of the time, maybe that's not a good location.

TheColoradoDude - 10-27-2009 at 06:25 PM

Waking up from a nice sleep and then taking a short walk to catch yellow tail from the shore , then walking back a short distance to prepare your hamachi and crack open a pacifico from your refridgerator is a pretty darn good location. :)

No need for valley metal, but the shingles should parallel the ridge. No big deal it probably doesn't rain that much, it just stands out to a 40 year roofer. But I would definitely face it toward the ocean. You know if there was a good point break right there, the house would sell for alot more.

Diver - 11-4-2009 at 08:04 PM

You guys sure are hard to please.

Builders build houses on lots which are bordered by streets.
Houses are normally built to face the street.
This is what Armando did.
The rear of the house will be more private and could have a nice patio facing the water.

Now, about the point break; you'll just have to go see for yourself; or not.
The ocean view is amazing from this area of town and there is a swim/surf beach about 300 yards away.

Bajahowodd - 11-4-2009 at 08:04 PM

Don't know if this thread needs to dig into architectural issues. Fact is that Asuncion is among a vast amount of territory in and about the Vizcaino Plain. It is flat. The vegetation remains very low to the ground. There is a persistent Northwesterly wind off the Pacific. It is not an environment that would seduce everyone. The tradeoff is that there is fabulous fishing. And the locals, who have adapted to the environment, are great people. In my opinion, it's just about what floats your boat. People love Vegas. People love Phoenix. People love Santa Fe. It's all about what you feel inside.

alafrontera - 11-5-2009 at 01:48 PM

There appears to be a back door so a nice deck/ patio facing the water would be preferable to me, I'm fine with the front facing the street. The tile job does bug me but that's what 30 years in construction will do to you ;)

So, I'm curious/ interested but totally ignorant about the area. Nearest airport with service from TJ via Volaris? Good fishing is probably my highest priority but of course safety/ security are important too.

Now about that 50/50 offer ? :biggrin:

mulegemichael - 11-5-2009 at 01:51 PM

diana...we will be there tomorrow and would like to tour the house...we will be staying in shari and juans beachhouse...will get in around midday or so..thanks

Anyone who has been in construction in the states well, as we told our son, when he comes down to our place he needs to bite his tongue and not look. :biggrin:

Airport? There is a dirt airstrip outside of town, and yes recently much to the dismay of the entire village, a plane was stolen---it was Mexican plane, the hospital plane. But last month another private plane was there for a couple of days and one of his local friends told us that he was able to have the police and local marines trade off in guarding the plane---don't know all the details, but it sounds like you are more interested in commercial airlines.

Closest commercial airport in Loreto and I do not know who flies into there, and while I do not know the exact miles it is not close. Bahia Asuncion is about 70 miles off the main highway===turn off is at Vizcaino. All is paved, except about the last 8 miles which will be paved----paved, but potholes are a continual problem.

It is one of the safest areas around. The fishing is great during certain times of the years---right now is the best fishing, and probably the worst is during the windy months of March, April.

Before considering buying anything, I very much suggest that someone visit the town. As one pointed out, it is not for everyone. There are some people who come to check it out and can't wait to leave---then there are those of us who really love the entire area.

Now, if a deck was built outback, one could spy on Diver when he is in town--just to make sure he stays out of trouble.

I wish we were still there, really wish we were still there, but we had to return to deal with some concerns with John's 91 year old mother.

But, if you speak some Spanish, you can ask Yoli or Victor (Victor speaks a little English) at the Verduzco Hotel to find Armando for you---it is easier than finding his office. Or if you do not speak Spanish, drive straight on the main street and shortly before the high school, there is the Ultramarinos, San Diego that is owned by Armando's nephew. His name is Jesus Manual and he speaks English fairly well.

Or directions to his office and lumber yard are as follows---take the main street to the split by the statue of the fisherman---where the Floriani grocery store is. Go left as if driving out to the point. His office is a block after the road jogs----his wife also has a baby clothing store there.

Sorry we are going to miss you there---maybe next time.

capt. mike - 11-7-2009 at 08:55 AM

"El Capitan, are you serious? You're kidding right?"

Serious? - very much so. it has been a common rate at many remoted strips through out Baja for years if federale presence was not available.

$10 bucks a day USA $$ is as much or more most semi or unskilled working men (or women) make in Mexico daily.

many SKILLED workers get double that. but to sit out all night and watch for fuel thieves and kids messing around - yeah $10 or so bucks is easy money for someone looking for some extra scratch.

we're not asking for $8 an hour renta cops here. just a presence to discourage mischief.
some guys will pay $20 but they're flying twins....:lol::lol:

Hijack? Nah--keeps it up there for the benefit of the seller. :biggrin::biggrin:

However, unless it was the army and or police, I do not think I would not want to hire just anyone to guard an airplane---too risky for the guard!

capt. mike - 11-7-2009 at 09:31 AM

yeah - agree - it's why you have insurance.
but just as with a padlock on a gate....it keeps honest people honest.
however - if one wants to cut the lock they will anyway.

having it stolen is one thing - just deal with it.
having your avgas ripped or a window busted to take radios or just be curious - either one will ruin your trip and be a hassle to deal with insurance wize.

sure - wages are going up near populated areas.
but at many places with remote strips and maybe one factory or industry in town, AKA Lopez Mateo, those workers make little money.

MitchMan - 11-7-2009 at 06:06 PM

The house seems like a screaming deal, to me. If it is 900 sq ft, the cost of materials alone is probably $20 K to $25K USD. That means you are getting the land and labor to build for just about free.

One problem (for me anyway) is how to get there. It sounds like the only way to get there is to drive from TJ (since I live in So Cal). Loreto is far from Asuncion, besides, how do you get to Asuncion from Loreto? Rent a cab? That's going to be expensive. I don't think buses run regularly, do they? And if they did, you would have to get to the bus station and then wait for the bus, that is if you didn't arrive at Loreto until after the only bus going to Asuncion already left. Renting a car is expensive, it would equal and/or surpass the cost of a flight from So Cal to Loreto. Therefore, using the house as a weekend getaway would not work. In other words, it would be practical only if you had a bunch of time all the time and could go there for extended stays only.

I made a comment like this once before about the prospect of buying a place in Todos Santos and the only comment I got was that most people get picked up by friends. I don't know anybody in Asuncion that would pick me up from the Loreto airport.

There are many many great places in Baja that are remote from an airport. I guess I will forever be perplexed with regard to how they work out the transportation issue. The subject is discussed very rarely yet so many Americans live in these places and it seems like the transportation is no issue to them.

You ask very good questions. I cannot think of anyway Bahia Asuncion would be good for a weekend get-away---just won't work.

From Loreto, yes, you could rent a car, but plan on a day to get to Bahia Asuncion. The buses only go to Vizcaino and then one needs to have arrangements to be picked up in Vizcaino or hitch a ride.

When we go, we usually drive there from San Diego in two days---don't like to rush it, especially during the winter months. Now some who are younger and stop less than we do, do it in one hard day---best in summer with longer days.

The amount of gingos who own there is growing, and growing. Some use it as a get away from the Sea of Cortez side. The Canadians usually come for a longer period of time---snowbirds. At times some fly into Loreto and rent a car.

US citizens, a few stay there most of the time. When we go, we are there for at least a month or more. A few we know who have bought property have small planes and fly into the dirt strip. And some come for a week or more and drive.

So, for a week-end get away from So. Cal, it really does not work unless you have a friend with a small airplane.

Good questions for clarification---thanks.

k-rico - 11-7-2009 at 06:28 PM

Mitchman,

Sounds like you have it figured out. You drive to Asuncion. Or fly if you have access to a private plane.

BajaNuts - 11-7-2009 at 07:43 PM

I believe there is a storage unit place in Loreto where a vehicle can be left for long term parking. Rates are kinda steep...something like $50/month. But it is an option...

Seeing Shari's latest fishing in Asuncion photos just adds value to this house. Location, location, location. I bet alot of fishermen are thinking hard about this place. Is there lobster and abalone to be had too? I imagine so.

There are LOTS of lobster and abalone around there----just don't try to get them on your own. The patrol cars run 24/7 and they don't care much for poachers----some great stories around about what has happened to a few. :biggrin:

Oh, I'm not a fisherman nor do I catch things that live in grottos or pry off of rocks critters that I probably wouldn't recognize anyway. I just like to eat.

We do hope someone buys it ----Armando and several in his family have been good friends.

Then there is the selfish side---the amount of gringos around has really grown----wish someone would promote Abreojos more. :biggrin:

It would make sense for anyone considering Asuncion to also consider Abreojos. It's been several years since I've been to Asuncion but if I remember correctly there are fewer services there than in Abreojos.

Abreojos appears to be a thriving fishing community and there are good surf breaks. The road is paved almost right to town and it is a cruise from the main highway, about 60 miles I think.

I saw land for sale in Abreojos out by the surf breaks at the point. The photo below shows some of the gringo houses being built in that area. The beaches are pristine with abundant sea life.

"A few we know who have bought property have small planes and fly into the dirt strip"

Diana T - Can you hook me up with any of these people?

we went to have a look at this house when we were there. kinda funky layout, but if you were to negotiate a second story deck looking towards the sea i could see it becoming a really cool house.
more windows too! but as a starting point it is reasonable for the price!

edit: just make sure you unlock the door before entering!:o

Sorry---two we have met briefly through a mutual acquaintance when they were there and we know of one more, but we were not there when they brought him to visit. We did not exchange any information like e-mails----but

next time we are down there, I will see if I can find a contact for you.

Lobsters live up to 100 years, that one should go back, some good genes there.
