Lauriboats - 12-23-2011 at 11:56 AM

My husband and I have decided to do some cruising in the Sea of Cortez, so we are selling our 2 bedroom, 2 bath Ocean View house in Bahia Asuncion. Price includes a completely turn key house, an extra lot out front, a VW Baja Bug, Kayaks and more. This is an owned (bank trust), not leased property. Asking $144,500.

Thanks Capt. Mike,
We love spending time there and really do hate to sell the place, wish we could do everything, but just can't fit it all in.

Good looking place. I hope you find someone nice to sell it to.

The interior is very well thought-out and executed. Nice job.

Spent three months in that house. The view never gets old. Spacious beach out front. Whales just beyond the kelp. Dolphins and sea lions in the break. Bonita hitting the top. Local kids short-boarding the reef. Islands at nine and three o'clock. Set in a working town that really rocks.

All the best for the sale.

I like the little Wrought Iron Left Bank table and chairs in the corner. Brings back memories of me and my days swilling absinthe and eating Baguettes on the Seine with Toulouse-Lautrec while he painted memories of Montparnasse .
Yep....sure does. :cool:

is that where you learned to "play" the drums, also?

I concentrated on my Kazoo skills while there. Drums came later. BADABOOM.

That home was built with me in mind I'm almost sure of it. If I could I would. If I could sell my lot here I'd be there.

capt. mike - 12-23-2011 at 03:53 PM

having been to both their properties - Mulege and Asuncion....
they do EVERYTHING 1st class.

wish i could take either, but Mulege compound would be the cake.

I admit to having very little knowledge of Baja real estate, and this really looks like a sweet property.

But given our particular times, first thought in my troubled mind was the asking price seemed unrealistically high, given the somewhat remote location.

But, what do I know?

Lauriboats - 12-24-2011 at 05:22 AM

Cement and materials are very expensive, even in Baja. The lots in Bahia Asuncion have been going up not down. Where else are you going to own a newer home with two ocean view lots, water and electricity in a beautiful little Mexican pueblo for the price that we are asking. They just recently paved the road to get there so it really isn't that remote anymore. We are not looking to make any great profit one this sale, we are just wanting to move on to a new adventure. Oh, by the way, we are open to offers.

A similar property in Chivato would be double that.

Bajaboy - 12-24-2011 at 07:41 AM

We hate to see you go....

shari - 12-24-2011 at 08:03 AM

Laurie & Jim...dang...we sure enjoyed having you in the village but know that you guys are up for lots of great adventures on your new boat and will visit often...looking forward to some boat wine wednesdays!!!

this house is by far the nicest home in town and done up real real nice...the garage is huge, view spectacular, 2 bathrooms are a bonus and walled in back patio is just beautiful and would be fantastic for gardening, not to mention fiestas! The prices is right!

Bajahowodd - 12-24-2011 at 04:39 PM

I truly hope Lauriboats success in achieving her goal. I consider the fact that she is open to offers to be a key to that success.

As for Russ' post, I'm thinking that Punta Chivato is way less remote than is Asuncion. After all, it's not all that far from Santa Rosalia and the ferry. And not that far from the airport in Loreto.

After reading Shari's post, I'm reminded of the old axiom about not being the highest priced property in the community.

Buena suerte.

Diver - 12-24-2011 at 04:55 PM

It's a beautiful house next to wonderful neighbors in an amazing little town. It's closer to the border than Chivato and has many small town amenities that Chivato does not.

Merry Christmas !

Although I could only dream of getting something this nice right now, I have to ask: Is the extra lot the area in front of your house? If so, will there be a road between your house and the lots in front, or is the lot to the left of your house?

The extra lot is in the front of the house adacent to our lot. We bought the lot to insure that no-one would build in front of us. I have often thought of building a walk-way and sitting area on the lot to allow for closer sea life viewing.

Lauriboats:

We saw the house a couple of days ago...really cute!

We'll talk more by either phone , e-mail, or U2.
What my questions are?
How do we, as Americans own the property considering all the negativity of this board and all the home losses all over Baja.
What are the taxes, and other expenses involved with owning there.
Thanks!

daveyjoans - 12-25-2011 at 08:32 AM

Hi, we love the BA area. Would you be interested in a long term lease? Dave and Joan

shari - 12-25-2011 at 08:57 AM

We have quite a few Chivatoites who have places over on this side now and one thing many of them like is that Asuncion is a thriving, vibrant mexican village with stores, services, restaurants and a hospital...not just a pretty place with nice beaches.

the few expats that do live here mostly live in separate neighbourhoods and have integrated nicely into the community & culture and have mexican friends and neighbours.

Lauriboats - 12-25-2011 at 09:35 AM

One of the other really nice things about Bahia Asuncion is that it does not have that stifling heat like the summers in Chivato and over here in Mulege, you can enjoy time spent there all year long.

DianaT - 12-26-2011 at 10:02 AM

Just a bump for our neighbors.
