What do you folks think about the per meter asking price? I really don't know what the going rate is.

I didn't see any indication of utilities or roads being present in the photos on the website. Nor did I see an explanation of where the lots are except on the Pacific, one hour from La Paz. Somewhere north of Todos Santos I assume.

How far from the highway? Who maintains the road in? Paved, dirt?


There is 13000 meters of huerta land for sale below me with irrigation water and power for 20 dollars a meter. It's not more than 500 meters from a beautiful beach.


That's a good data point. Pescadero or TS? I wonder what the price per meter would be for 1000 meters in the same location.


$100 m2 for 5,825m2 Nice lot!

Here are some more realistic properties.

If it has water and power a 1000mt. lot would go for 30-60k depending on location but not on the beach.

The lots at Playas Pacificas are between 2700 and 8700 m2. The price per m2 is between $30 and $62. The lots above aren't comparables. They either aren't by the beach, or they aren't serviced.

Yeah but you don't need to plan an overnight trip to buy a can of coffee.

Just kidding, sort of...............

All sorts of considerations.

When facing 55km of paved, but, in some places, serpentine, and then another 20-some odd km of dirt, with no assurances as to its continuous maintenance, that ought to be a consideration. Not so sure anyone can get from any real serious shopping in La Paz to that site in an hour. Really.

In fact, isn't that kilometer reading one that begins at the fork in the road between Centenario and Comitan?

No, that's km 18. Km 1 is downtown La Paz. Lots of people who live in Baja are in isolated coastal areas...it's part of the life for them to go to town once a week for their main shopping and buy the small stuff locally.

OK. Was just wondering. But, I still have to question the one hour trip.

Yes, the times we have visited with Rob and Linda out there, it has taken us just over an hour...I guess they are more familiar with the road. It could be daunting to someone who prefers paved roads and city lights, but we have traveled further on worse in Baja and look forward to the beauty of the road less traveled. That's what it's all about.

Please don't take offense, I'm just jousting with you. Do these people you're speaking of typically spend a quarter of a million dollars to live in isolated Baja areas? I think that's the minimum you're talking about taking into consideration the lot and construction costs.

How about opening a nice RV Park first? MY Ford Condominium is ready to retire to a nice spot. ;)

It is very much like the old Baja out there, remote and beautiful with great fishing. To have a home with power and water in a well thought out community is a valuable thing even if it's a long way to the store.

No offence taken, K-Rico, jousting is good. It gets everyone involved and thinking.

The development is definitely high-end. The lots are huge, but the price per square meter is pretty good compared to other ocean side communities. Rob and Linda just got all their permits, plans, etc., finalized a short time ago, so they, after 8 years of work, now have something they can actually sell, unlike a lot of "pre-sale" property that is available where there is nothing there but a big chunk of property.

That being said, the power and water are to the edge of the development. They still have to put the electricity underground to each of the lots, run the water in and pave the roads. They are anxious to get everything finished, and will take reasonable offers on the first few lots to facilitate that.

--or come to the East Cape where the winters are pleasant and swimming is safe and buy a lot 1 hour from the airport -- 28 miles of dirt road --for $15.00 per square meter with water, and title insurance, in an established community and 5 minute walk from the beach -- power is solar but looking at CFE rates its a bargain.

Well, Paulclark, I started this post by saying that "it's waaay cooler on the Pacific" and talked about visiting with Rob and Linda during the summer when it's sweltering in Centenario. I know that winters are pleasant on both sides, but we live by the Sea of Cortez year round, and it's really hot here in the summer. If we had a "do over", we'd pick the Pacific on a swimmable beach. Rob and Linda don't even have a/c in their home, where we would have a hard time without it.
