Good location for an Art Gallery or Restaurant or Boutique Hotel. $50 per square meter... a steal. Best read with dripping sarcasm. My bad.

Don't want to burst a bubble here.

Seller isn't that motivated at $50. Try $30/$35/sq.mt.

I own property in Tunas. You might want to check prices?

But hey, nothing wrong with starting high and dreaming.

Where is Las Tunas and how long does it take to drive there from the old PEMEX in town?

Google maps coordinates would be appreciated.

Would it be a good place to set up a quad and dirt bike rental store?

just kidding

Turns out the lot is in Las Brisas. Maybe 10 min. from downtown. Not sure if that makes a difference. My dirt knowledge is limited to La Paz where, in centro, you will be VERY fortunate to find a lot for 150 bucks a meter. Don't know anything about TS but this is a very nice large lot with a gentle slope and first class view of the ocean. Water and power are in and a fiedo exists. That should count for something? Anyway we were looking for offers but it looks like all we have so far is complainers. It's not the end of the world as we know it.

What are the complaints about? Who are the complainers?

For the price you are asking and in Las Brisas you will wait a VERY long time to realize it. I can get you the same size lot within a 2 minute walk to the beach, sleep with the music of the waves for less than your asking price and in Las Tunas which is a much more desirable location.

No complaints, just a reality check.

So, you're saying that your Las Tunas area is more desirable than his Las Tunas area.

No Vandenberg - I am responding to his later post saying that it turns out his lot is in Las Brisas.

It looks like Katiejay is the girl to go to here her dirt doesn't stink.
But just on the outside chance this lot is a couple of miles north of downtown. See it on Google Earth. Type in search bar: 23 27'25.21N, 110 14'29.90W Private party sale, existing fideocomiso, water and power. Avoid all the realtor fees and doubletalk. Have a nice day!

Thanks for the coordinates. Looks like there is a lot of development in the area. It's all new to me. I've never ventured north of town but am very familiar with the areas south of town.

Probably not a bad medium to long term investment. What do you locals think?

Where's the notario? La Paz or is there one in Todos now?

TS is growing along with Pescadero and Cerritos. It is becoming kind of a cutesy, artsy town. The state and municipal governments are investing in the infrastructure in anticipation of positive growth. Prices for dirt are pretty much proportional to the proximity to the water. (location, location, etc.) Same thing here in La Paz. For some reason crime tends to be lower in these areas. You could reasonably expect to build a nice, albeit small, house on the lot in question for a couple hunnert thou. A bunch less than that if you were willing to be a little more "hands on". A comparable dig would be 4-5X that in Calif. Fixed costs, taxes & utilities etc., would be at least 20% less. In the end then it does not make economic sense as an investment unless you plan to settle down there and you consider the tranquility and quality of life as a return on your investment. We are fortunate to have bought a nice place in La Paz years ago but knowing now what we know we would buy it again tomorrow at 3X the price we paid. Everybody is an expert but notwithstanding what some dirt pimp in TS sez this is a very nice lot and while fifty bucks may be a little high nowhere is it written that you can't make an offer. BTW the only notario's I know are in La Paz. We did our own fido and saved about $450. We used #7 and were happy with his work. Some day I'll relate our experience - it was quite entertaining and enlightening.
