The whole project will only have a 30% impact to the area, some area will be left as a natural reserve where nothing will be developed.

The project is focused on eco-friendly trends and is thought for having an adventure and sport community. It’s meant for having a place for vacations and renting to people interested on being active outdoors in Baja while keeping our land healthy. It’s not a resort, we develop projects that allow you to live perfectly comfortable without destroying the main reason why people come to La Ventana and Baja in the first place.

I understand these projects are not for everybody, and I just wanted to share a little bit of our mission. We do believe we can start promoting a healthier and more sophisticated lifestyle in Baja.
:yes:

Hi there!

We would love to share some more information about the development. I’m new to BajaNomad so I don’t know if there’s a way to get your emails on a private message to send you a small PDF with some info. You can also check out ranchosotol.com.

Yes, it's off the grid, yes it's a low impact.

Financing is offered by the same development at 11% (1 year)

You can use whichever builder you desire, we can offer some options.

If you want to know about who we are and some references we'd be more than happy to arrange a meeting or phone call.

Yes, it's a tough crowd here on Nomad, but justifiably so. Those of us who have bought lots and had houses built learn one thing really quickly. Skepticism. Promises made by developers often turn out to be just that, promises with no follow through.

We've seen the Eco word used before and it usually does mean that there won't be much development in the development. Dirt streets will remain dirt. Erosion will occur. Utilities will continue to be non existent. Water to every lot? Sure, it will come in a truck right to your lot. Electricity will be provided, but by your solar system. All kinds of structures will be built, funky to swanky. Your neighbor will build a palapa thing and let it go to rot because he never comes anymore. The developer will buy back the "green belt" lots he dedicated and sell them to other Gringos. Dogs will run loose, cattle will eat your palm trees and the wind will blow all night. And if you are of the right frame of mind you will LOVE it all. You will pinch yourself every day because you are so lucky to have your awesome place in this paradise. I do.

So yes, we are a hardy, interesting, eccentric, experienced, soulful, sometimes grumpy, but usually quite happy crowd. We know what we have gotten ourselves into and accept it for what it is. When developers start throwing around terms like eco-friendly and sustainable we just shake our heads.

Please Ranchosotol don't take this the wrong way. I wish you the best of luck with your project. I hope you make many future owners as happy as I am with my little place down here on the east cape. Looks like you are going to be open and above board so good on ya!

Thanks for your honest reply El Jefe. We don't take it the wrong way, everyone is entitled to their opinion and comments always help us improve.

We know all about these promises developers make and don't go through, we know there are many unsatisfied owners out there and it takes some trust in order to invest. We have lots of experience working on Real Estate for quite some time now, so we know where a lot of developers go wrong and we have rules and regulations to prevent many of these problems. We've studied the land many times before deciding what spot had the best views and was protected from the wind as much as possible. I’m not saying it’s the perfect development but we try to make it ideal for some and a great opportunity for others.

Like anything investment, there are some pros and cons. We try to keep the pro list much longer and we don’t trick or lie anyone into buying. We know this is something that’s not made for everybody (like any other product in the world) but we’re constantly looking for like-minded people that share our vision and that will actually benefit from being part of Rancho Sotol.

I would love to meet up with anyone interested and show them around, let them know us and our team as well as other owners that have trusted us. Thanks for your comments and I hope you’re enjoying the East Cape as much as we do when we’re out there.
