MULEGE HOUSE, TURNKEY, WITH FISHING BOAT!
I just posted this in the "Real Estate Wanted" section, but I am putting it here too so as to get more exposure:
Captn.Mike,
That was my casita you were in. Not sure if you were in Jim's too, but he is not here now, although his is still for sale. Mine is the one that has an
available lot behind it. Mine also has a 2nd bathroom upstairs, real tile floors, petate ceilings, double dormer upstairs. You can't go wrong with my
house or Jim's.
Mine too is fully restored and I have gotten insurance for this year which includes Flood and Earthquake. (Didn't have insurance last year but
restored it for less than $3,000).I am also throwing in my fishing boat as a sweetener. (The boat will come off the deal at the end of April and I
will tow it back to No. California). The price is $50,000, TURNKEY. This is way below the price I paid to have it built four and a half years ago. I
had it for sale two years ago for $145,000. That is what some others have paid for similar houses here in The Orchard.
My price of $50,000 is not negotiable. I am losing a lot of money already at that price. In that it is insured, and if it should fall down in another
flood, (not likely)I will collect, not rebuild and still have a valuable RV pad. If we have no flood this year, my price will go up substantially.
The reason I have not put it on The BajaNomad is because, for whatever reason, a stalker posted my information with negative personal comments.
It will probably flood again, but it is cinder block construction with steel. No drywall. It is easy to clean up after a flood. Very much worth the
risk, especially since it is still insureable. It survived Hurricane Jimena, the worst hurricane in history, and is as pretty as ever after cleaning
up.
We have our own H.O. Association and we control the Security, electric, water and road infrastructure and common areas. It is a fine community with
good neighbors. I also have a Fideicomiso, the bank trust. It is NOT leased land.
This house is a must see! You can't imagine how nice our restored houses and neighborhood looks...what community spirit and pride! The downside is
that there is still a lot of rubble along the river where most of the damage occurred. Some have cleared their lots and are suitable as RV pads with
electricity and water. Some are building simple palapas. The lots themselves are worth 20,000 to 35,000.
I gave Rick Barber of Pelican Reef Realty Center a listing. You can see it on his website or on BajaQuest. Rick can get all the paper work through and
closed in the most expedient manner. You can also contact me if you prefer. I will still give Rick a commission even if you buy it directly from me
because he has advertised it and he will process the sale.

toneart, That's a great deal, in a great community. Three years ago I'd jumped on it. Now? Copilot(to borrow Pompano's terminology) has the compass
set for someplace in the state of Hawaii. Good luck. It's a super deal and will be a dream come true for some lucky soul.

Wow, Tony, you're gonna do it huh? Audrey and I loved your place when we visited back in January 2009, or was that 2008. Anyway, your casita is in a
great spot and has lots of good stuff to go along with it. I remember how nice everything looked when we were there.
I don't remember seeing your boat. What kind of boat is it? Did I miss it somehow?
Hope all is well.
Bob H

I went on the Pelican Reef site. Your house looks great. What is the storage like? Where do you keep your boat?

Tony, why not just post a link to your property within your original post? Make it easier for potential buyers. What's the harm?

To those that commented on the property, thank you all. Mulegemichael, I will stay in touch.
Gaucho- There isn't a lot of storage except inside the house, upstairs. Storage could be built outside. I tow the boat north to California when I
leave and bring it back when I return in January.
Bob H.- I think I still had my Panga when you saw my place. I sold that and now have a 17' welded aluminum (painted) fishing boat. It is easier for
me to launch and single hand. It has a Mercury 90...2 stroke (three carbs),side console, livewell, carpeted, marine radio, 2 fish finders and an
electric trolling motor on the bow, good trailer and cover....all tricked out. It even has beer holders and an aluminum yardstick screwed into the
interior side (obviously not long enough :lol .
Hook- I will try to put the link in my first post of this string. I had been leaving the marketing up to Rick Barber, but will do the link myself.

Here you go Tony. If I was closer to retirement, it would be a done deal.
