few people use leach lines...only one gringo I know has one and his lot isnt near that big....everyone has 2 or more chambered septic "tanks" made of
bricks with gravel in the bottom to leach through. How many square meters to an acre?
the average municipal lot is 500 square meters here.

Starbucks, then? You and I walked that whole area as it is quite beautiful ...steps to the beach and ocean. I wanted to buy out at the entrance to
town but up hillside. Bright lights, big city, BajaBoy. Approx price per sq Meter? Think I'll just drag in my RV and camp out! I do want to try
Udo's Margaritas!! And enjoy the wonderful Spirit of Asuncion. Suerte, Mon Shari.  Tio

which makes it a cesspool. Septic Tanks are enclosed and amoeba consume the contents. That's why it's important to not flush anything caustic
killing the little critters.

If one is going to go to the trouble to start from scratch building a dream, the lot should be a bit larger. Pay for it now, or pay for it later
with regrets.
My lot is 600mts. and I wish I had more.

These things aren't my idea of ideal, but the worst part is the name. Since they call the trucks that pump and drain these pits, "Honey
Wagons"........why can't they call a cesspool a "Honey Pot" or something yummy like that?

They don't usually deal in acres down here. More often hectarias:
1 acre = 4047 mē (to nearest mē)
1 hectaria = 10 000 square meter

Is that a PEMEX to be, or has it been there for a while?
Maybe the OXXO, which seems to be an appendage of Pemex stations these days, will bring with it an ATM. Some do...some don't.

On the outer-banks of North Carolina (Nags Head, Buxton, Hatteras, etc.) almost all the houses are built with the living quarters on the second floor,
and the ground floor is for covered storage, garages, boathouse, etc... The house is built on log pilings, or concrete pillars. When a storm
surge/waves comes thru it simply runs under the house causing minimal damage. Is this ever done in Baja??? or even feasible?? Sure takes a lot of
worry out of ocean front property on lower elevation lands, and the cooling breases can really be taken advantage of----great views, too if you are in
front of everybody else. People in back may frown on it tho.

With the westerlies we get you are more likely to smell the dump burning than the PEMEX.

I only need 80% of the sale proceeds for the condo. There would have been a little left over to put toward the lot. After all...we are talking about a
condo in Portland, not California.
However, per Shari's last post, it appears the lot is gone.

Mr Udo, I thought you were selling your R.V. to pay for your kid's condo?

the lot is still available...there is serious interest but nothing firm yet...we're thinking some long term RV sites would work well there on the
ocean side of the lot...$5 grand for a 10 year lease... could easily have 4 nice size spots...build what ya want...just an idea....or perhaps
miniature golf with a sea theme?
c'mon gang, it's Friday night...put your thinking caps on and lets hear your ideas....we can dream cant we?
