Wow- stunning! Beautiful home, good luck with sale.
Could it be a spectacular BnB for the right people?

I notice that the Costa Cardonal website still talks about the community center in the future tense, as it has for several years. Was that ever
completed?

Sorry! But it doesnt belong in Baja...To me it epitomozises (sp) all the things that have changed our Baja into a "mine is bigger than yours"
society..Yuppyism at the max..........Chivato used to be such a nice place....

Shari, It is sad! They are in no rush to leave, thank god. They have had a really good run down here, as you know, and are getting ready for the next
phase. Yes, their B&B is also for sale and we're working on a write up on it now.
--There will be no change in their operation for some time so any clients seeing this should know to make reservations as usual cuz Ed & Jean will
be there . http://www.bahiaasuncionbb.com/
--Hook, yep the Costa Cardonal website is old and many improvements have taken place over the years since it was updated including the completion of
the community center.
chuckie , Welcome to the 21st century. Yuppyism? That dates you as far as you having anything to do with the world in several decades. Punta Chivato
left your idea of "Baja" soon after ejido members started selling lots. But we still haven't power, state water or paved road so the folks for the
most part have the old Baja spirit.
Back to this home...
It surely would make a great B&B

Beautiful home. Hey, if they can afford it why should they sleep on the sand in a Palapa? I doubt they were trying to flaunt this place in Chivato.
They could have played with the high rollers in Cabo if they chose to. I agree it is not in tune with the "old Baja" we all love, but you can't stop
"progress".

As I can recall Jean mentioned that the project was developed by an Architect who was very influenced or worked for the Master of Architects: Mr Frank
Lloyd Wright...

And it's not difficult to understand, just by observing the way the volumetric forms and shapes are executed... A great housse in a great place... ahh

Jean e-mailed me she is having troubles trying to get signed back in on the Nomads. She said the B&B will open July 1st. Hopefully we'll figure
out how to get her back here to answer questions.

Woody,
How about the mini-super lotto. We have reduced the price to $275,000. We sold all the toys already, but there's whale sharks and dolphins and lots
of beautiful sand... keep on buying those tickets!

Bob, the house is around 3000 sq.ft. , has 3 levels, top is roof top patio. Great room on main floor. There are covered patios on 2 sides, a
traditional Palm palapa and an enclosed garden. We built it for year round living...so have an outdoor space on all 4 sides...totally under roof more
like 4000sqft.
