SELLER MOTIVATED! (Bahia Asunción) Now Make me an offer I can't refuse! (USD)

Udo - 7-11-2017 at 09:30 AM

A bunch of photos available on http://www.tinyurl.com/CasaWinkler

$400 USD per year is totally excessive and out of line by photobucket!!!

Sorry, folks, my photobucket account has ben compromised by photobucket. I am no longer allowed to use any photos I have posted with a link to to photobucket (all my photos, plus my avatar).

Until I can figure out how to open another account in another website I am finished with photobucket. I tried opening another account in photobucket under a different name and e-mail address, but they busted me on that one also and deleted my new third party hosting account.

Looks like photobucket wants to be paid to act as a server farm for folks who want to post their photos on other websites.

Understandable. They want people to go to the photobucket website to see the photos photobucket owns.

Udo,

The photobucket link you posted isn't working for me. No photos of your house but it display large advertisements for a couple of items I've recently searched for using google. Looks like they are making a full court press to bring in advertisement dollars.

The tinyurl link works fine.

willardguy - 7-11-2017 at 11:01 AM

Im really happy with imgur, :coolup:

Udo - 7-11-2017 at 11:07 AM

I sincerely apologize for the photobucket link not working. I was just following a suggestion from a member.
I'll try playing with IMGUR for a while and see what happens.

The beach is dog approved!

AKgringo - 3-20-2018 at 03:07 PM

My big dog loves a beach, and the one in front of your casa seems to be her favorite! The fine grained wet sand is perfect for running, digging, and chasing waves. She goes absolutely berserk on our walks there!

I like the fact that there is no vehicle access, and so far we have not encountered any stray dogs, or even other people for that matter.

While she is getting her exercise, I am entertained by her antics, and the amazing, colorful variations in the geology exposed there. The natural stone arch at the north end of the beach is a bonus.

I am not in the market for a house at this time, but I sure like yours!

DianaT - 3-20-2018 at 03:28 PM

These pictures make me quite sad to see the condition of our old home and gardens next door. :-( :-( While they have both crossed over to the other side now, our precious Maggie Mae and Tommy Dog loved that beach. So many good memories.

Udo, I see the original post is older. I must have missed it before as I seldom check in around here. I hope you have sold your place?

[Edited on 3-20-2018 by DianaT]

tobias - 3-20-2018 at 04:10 PM

Is this still available ?
How many square feet?
How much land?
Do you own the land or just the house? (still wrapping my head around baja real estate transactions )
Looks like an amazing location, perhaps I will have a look at it on my way north.

rts551 - 3-20-2018 at 04:11 PM

Looks like both houses could use a maintenance person once a month.

woody with a view - 3-20-2018 at 04:54 PM

Looks like issues with the white house’s roof?

Udo - 3-21-2018 at 08:33 AM

Our place is still available for sale. The house is about 1500 square feet. There were two lots, but both were combined into one. The property is about 60' wide by about 120' long. The only land between the house and the water is the Federal zone.
Here, the land is held either by a bank trust, or, as in our case, under a Mexican Corporation.
We were originally going to retire there but health issues made us cancel those plans and ended up moving to Ensenada because of healthcare.

Shari has a key to the house.

Udo - 3-21-2018 at 08:38 AM

Mil gracias for the bump, AK. Glad your dog enjoys our beach. What you don't see near the house is the reef nearby. Fish boils come up once or twice a day. We also have whales, sea lions, and orcas feed on the same reef.
The arch you see at the far end of the beach is our favorite picnic spot in all of Baja. There used to be another smaller arch next to it, but it got washed away during one of the large wave storms last year.

pauldavidmena - 3-21-2018 at 09:27 AM

Forgive me for not knowing the property, but it looks like two separate dwellings (and additional structures) with an adjoining wall. I assume that only one is for sale. Is this correct?

Udo - 3-21-2018 at 01:16 PM

Yes, only one property is for sale. There are properties on either side of ours.

That "white house" used to be quite bright yellow but to keep it that color, it had to be redone often. The roof on the guest room/bodega appears to be in bad shape and our gardens are gone. As I said in my post, it makes me sad to see this.

Last I knew the people who bought our place found that they could not use it like they thought they would and wanted to sell it. But I don't know now.

Homes that close to the ocean require a lot of upkeep, but for us it was worth it to be there. And our friends and caretakers when we were not there took really great care of our place. We miss it a lot and especially miss our good friends.

Udo, I hope the right person comes along soon for you.

How do I know what it is you would not refuse unless I know your base price? Never quiet understood that remark. oh well bump.

Give it a rest. The guy is just trying to sell something he has invested a lot of his life in. The $ is fair. This is not going to be a moneymaker for the man. Most of us know this area and it is beautiful but desolate. It is not quite off the grid but close. It is not for everyone but he only needs one. That one absolutely exists, it may be you. The rest of you can just move along and stop picking at the carcass.

fishbuck - 11-7-2018 at 09:55 AM

Attention Udo.
I am willing to discuss fair market value on your property. Please contact me. Maybe we can work a deal.
I'm serious.
Thank you.

Good luck in putting this deal together. It looks like it has the elements of Fishbucks dreams in one tidy package. Primo location with fly in airport, great fishing, acceptable year round climate, nice casa worthy of the title Casa de Fishbuck, and great pr program in place for the area ably promoted by Shari.

there's a reason Udo's not there! :light:

fishbuck - 11-7-2018 at 12:52 PM

Airplane. 5 hrs to San Diego.
And yes I got a bit freaked out when I was hospitalized for 3 days a coupke weeks back.
I noticed several more people hauled out in ambulance.
And then a lot of pest control activity.
The city got involved... so... I'm guessing animal related.
I had already complained to the owners here.
But I hadn't needed a doctor since motocross and I retired from racing over 10 years now.

I agree that following your stories is like following the bouncing ball in the arcade.
And, since you extol the virtues of your flying prowess, whilst also mentioning 3 days in the hospital....Kind of a scary prospect, my man.
30 years ago I had colon cancer, which was deftly and rudely removed with a sharp scalpel, and for three years the FAA would not give me back my medical.
I finally had an attorney friend write and say, "How does colon cancer affect his ability to fly?" After which they finally restored my med cert.
And, don't tell us that since you are just flying in Mexico it is all o.k.

Recommend you check your pilot flying you in a private aircraft

The FAA medical must be renewed every two years for a private license, and every six months for a commercial license, and it must be current to legally fly in the US. Unlike other rules that can be loose in Mexico, it is also strictly enforced in Mexico. You won’t fly in without a current US Medical certificate.

The FAA issues three classes of medical certificates:

A first class medical is required for pilots who exercise airline transport pilot (ATP) privileges; that is, those flying scheduled airliners and other pilots whose employers require this level of certification. A first class medical is valid for ATP privileges for twelve months for pilots under age 40. Pilots who are age 40 and older must renew First class medical certificates every six months.

A Second class is required for pilots who fly commercially—in operations such as crop dusting, delivering canceled checks, or carrying passengers or cargo for hire. The Second class medical is valid for commercial privileges for 12 months.

A Third class medical certificate is appropriate for student pilots, recreational pilots, and private pilots who fly for pleasure or personal business (but not for hire). A third class medical is valid for 60 months for pilots under age 40, and 24 months for applicants who are age 40 or older.

David K - 11-7-2018 at 05:32 PM

Beware of pilots with "get-home-itis"... If WX is questionable (IFR or headwinds) please just wait another day. I know two pilots who died returning from Baja, short of their destination. Many Nomads knew them too, Doug Bowles (from Alfonsina's to Long Beach area) and Carlos Fiesta [Chuck Chambers] (from San Juanico to Long Beach area, also).

fishbuck - 11-7-2018 at 11:00 PM

Pilots are schedule driven. And we have faith in ourselves. We push our limits.
That's how we get better. Usually but not always.
I think those guys ran out of gas. Baja can do that to you.
I fly by the book now. I know my limits and those of my aircraft. I don't push my luck. I don't use luck.
I calculate and have a happy ending to all my flights. I start my flight planning with a good landing at the end.

caj13 - 11-8-2018 at 11:51 AM

so when fishy is done playing make pretend,

Udo, i plan on being in Asuncion between X-mas & New Years, staying at Sheris place.

I would be interested in taking a look if its still available, and that can be arranged?

i suspect my original impression - "too far away" will be confirmed, but thats why we are headed there - to give it a look and see if we like it, and would want to live there 6 months out of the year.

if we are comfortable with the location, I would be very interested.

Obviously i don't expect or want you to hold the place or make you think I am champing at the bit to buy your place, but if things worked out on the visit - You would appear to be an excellent option!

Udo - 11-8-2018 at 12:09 PM

If it is still available.
Since I put several ads on fishing forums, I was inundated with phone calls yesterday, and early this morning.

Shari has a set of keys to both the house and the garage. My wife and I were planning on staying at the house over New Year's, but if I get a deposit on the house, we'll just come down to get our personal things since this was going to be our retirement home a few years ago (before my major illness).

Zac, thats the reason we are going - we are spending alot of time staying at various places all over baja, looking for the best fit. we start with a week or so, if we like it, we plan another longer stay - a month or 2. Thats our plan. I'll keep an eye out for you. If you see a bunch of young teenagers roaming around in a pack, they probably will belong to me (nieces and nephews)

caj13 - 4-24-2019 at 07:11 PM

I did not get the chance to check out the place when I was down there over new years, my father in law passed away suddenly,
so we had to leave after 2 days. if its still available come fall,
I have to go to La Bocana to pick up some gear, i might as well swing through BA, and have a look.

But I'm hoping for your sake, its sold by then, Hope it works out for you, good luck on it!

Do you have another page for people to view?

Udo's link was to a Google+ website, and Google discontinued the service last month. Hopefully Udo has an alternative site, or that he at least still has the original content.

I have tried to get on alternative sites with no luck!

I will send a bunch of photos to anyone interested in the house. My e-mail is udowinkler@yahoo.com
Please send me a request and I'll send you about 10 photos at a time, that is all that my e-mail will allow me to send at a time.

Currently Shari is the only one with a key to get in the house. However, all the doors and the front gate are closed, locked and screwed together with 4" drywall screws. Plus the front door also has a sliding gate lock on the inside which can only be accessed from the inside.

Whoever wants to come by to see the house must bring an electric screwdriver with a phillips bit. Then you will have access to the back door.

Sounds like extreme security, are break ins common in BA?

Whatever happened to fish-buck? Last I heard he was off his meds and experiencing mania/paranoia in SQ.

advrider - 12-14-2019 at 09:57 AM

Sounds like the same way we secure our cabin at the end of the season in the Sierra's every year. Not so much worried about the average joe but try to deter the less then honest people trying to make a quick grab and go. Plus we have bears to deter as well, unlike Baja!

Break ins are not common at all in Asuncion as there is such a good 24/7 security patrol by the fishing cooperativas and in a small village petty crime is usually limited to family members as they are less likely to press charges and people always know who is stealing stuff most often youngsters with a drug problem.

Very few places have bars on the windows. Few people lock thieir cars etc. But in Udos case, the kid lived in an apartment right behind his place and he would wait till the police and security passed then he just walked over and systematically stole stuff little by little. It is extremely dark there and nobody lives around the house which made it easy to rob.
But the biggest reason for the break in is that Udo has nobody looking after his house to check in to see if everything is secure. I highly recommend expats who leave houses unattended at least have someone checking on it on a weekly basis.
The unfortunate thing is that due to owner neglect, this house was broken into and it paints Asuncion in an unfavourable light which I deem unfair as this is one of the safest places I know of.

Udo, it was advrider's post that got me to contact you. Fishbuck has been banned from Nomad. He is building a home on San Quintín Bay and his last email to me was he was good with the ban and all is well.

As for how to easily post your photos here on Nomad, then instructions are in the first post on the Nomad Photo Gallery Forum. Here they are:

To post photos from your Pictures folder on your computer...

Go to www.Postimages.org, make an album if you want to organize your photos to find them easily in the future (by date or by subject). No cost to use Postimages.org.

Change the upload setting from "Do not resize my image" to 640x480 (recommended for forums) or 800x600 (max. on Nomad). You click on the little arrow to see the size choices.

Click "Choose images" and select the photos you want to put on Nomad from your Pictures folder.

Click on the image you want on Nomad and click on "Share" at the top of the screen.

Choose "Hotlinks for forums" (down next to the last one). You can click the little box at the right end of the link and it is now saved on your mouse.

Go to Nomad and paste that link onto the place where you are typing on Nomad. You can put text in below the photo for a caption or your post and if you double space between photo links (for clarity), you can put several photos and captions in a single post on Nomad. You can click "Preview" on Nomad to check and see how it will look before posting to the board.

If you need to fix a post after it is done, click on "Edit" along the edge of your post, and change or delete your post. If you edit more than once, you can delete the previous Edited on tags so only one edit tag will appear after you edit the post.
==============================================================

20 photos from Udo...

What ever happened with the salon (?) that was being built adjacent to the property? Was that ever completed or was the project abandoned?

advrider - 12-14-2019 at 12:38 PM

David, thanks for posting. I am about 11 months from retirement, if I choose to go, so we have been looking. We are back and forth between renting and buying something in Baja. I need to go and see just what the area and house look like, it's been many years since I was there.
From what I have seen of the house from pictures it's the perfect size and a good location in respect to the ocean. Being that close also brings up maintenance concerns because I'm not sure I want to do that much up keep? Lot's to think about, but the price and style are right on point...

David K - 12-14-2019 at 05:06 PM

Udo is a man of good character, too.

the project appears to have been abandoned...nothing done in years there.

twogringos - 12-16-2019 at 07:47 AM

I don't lock my car in Asuncion. I don't even lock the garage when we are in residence.
BTW, our house is about 200 feet behind Udo's.

Udo’s house was broken into by a neighbor tweaker. Did the tweaker break into your house?
You should lock your door. Your neighbor’s house got burgled.

Bajaboy - 12-16-2019 at 08:54 AM

We never lock our place or truck when in town. But all of our neighbors look out for one another, too.
