Looks like a smokin good deal, particularly the turn key house with furnishings and all of the toys necessary to enjoy Mulege area to the max. Should
sell quickly.

God, I was hopin that JC43 had found something else get on a soapbox about... She just can't leave it alone... There are no guarantees anywhere you
plant yourself...
Pretty hard to not know what has happened in Mulege over the last 10 years.
You all knowing preacher but there are many folks that choose to take the chance.. You can't find a much nicer place to winter. It's not really any
of your business but you make it so... Take a hike princess.....
Oh well, nuff said, she is never gonna let it go and what a waste of time arguing with a pinhead...
Good luck Mike and Roz.. it is a pleasure to know you and you can see by the pictures which are current how well some folks take care of their
property after the flood events..
Take care...
Common sense is a flower that doesn\'t grow in everyone\'s garden.....

Mulege boasts, or should, about having the second oldest mission on the Baja Peninsula. It is remote, beautiful, almost untouched by the ugly tourist
population, and I am almost afraid to mention this, as I don't want this to change. Do not move to Mulege if you have in mind a fashion show in your
suitcase to parade down the boulevard. This is a raw place, with real residents, real locals. Pig races, Dorado tournaments, a small local community
of real people wanting to just swap lies at the local bar...or not. People who live in Mulege are strong, intelligent, interesting people who don't
give a damn about a storm now and then. Who really cares? We move our stuff, hunker down, and then move back into our homes after the storms. What is
the issue here? We live in a tropical zone. We have warm winters, great fishing opportunities, fabulous friends in our little community. Rent a
storage space, move your stuff, move it back in, who cares? It is a fabulous little loving community NOT for sissies. Anyone want to be sissy? Live
somewhere else. Mulege is awesome, the people are fantastic, and the community is wonderful.

Oh that's precious, coming from the woman who brings an elf costume in her suitcase every year  The local kids are going to miss you as much as your friends and neighbours will.

...as I said in my post,, 'caveat emptor',,buyer beware. If a person buys a place -anywhere-but especially in baja, they should exercise due
diligence. Land title,,local conditions,, are only a couple of things one must investigate. If someone doesn't go beyond seller's word an -any-
purchase they deserve what they get.
That said,,,even knowing -fully- the possibilities of living on-river in Mulege,,,that seems like an alluring price for the package. Many would
decide that the downside possibilities outweigh the allure of the good times!
Best advice for anyone going to baja is to have a mobile home or rent first,,,know what you're getting into before you buy. Anyone not doing this
basically deserves what they get.

which could sustain hurricane weather. JC43, you might want to make a list of these countries and areas to be certain you avoid any contact. North
America, Central America, the Caribbean, Central, East and West Africa, and Southeast Asia...or, you could be creative and start sabotaging real
estate ads on a global basis. Please discontinue making posts on the ad for our home. If you want to stand on a bandwagon, run for President.

Many house in hurricane areas are not built in flood zones. This house is, it WILL flood.
Jc43 speaks truth, just not very politely.
The RE ads for these mileage places on river should disclose that these river houses flood every few years, the floods are frequent. I have never
seen the ads disclose that floods are frequent,... I don't think the ads ever mention floods

The add is posted on Baja Nomads, everyone that participates here (the few that are left) are well aware of the flooding potential in the river
valley. Nobody is trying to hide anything from a potential buyer.
It's unfortunate that your post has gone in the toilet like the rest of the posts on Nomads Mike, your place is great and a bargain at the asking
price. Perhaps posting the add on a web site that is followed by sober adults would be a good idea. Good luck with the sale....

You are absolutely right: Not very polite what I had to say. But it is hard to be polite seeing sellers of homes located in the Mulege river valley
trying to pull other Americans over the table. Mulegemichael said: I mentioned honestly the house is located on the river. That statement triggers
something very positive. Exactly that is not honest as folks NoB are not aware that the Mulege river is dangerous to dwellings during hurricanes. The
many homes formerly along the flood zone washed into the Gulf of California are the best evidence to that! And, you are right again. No word about the
potential danger of floods is mentioned in the post.
@ dtbushpilot
I agree that everyone HERE is aware of the potential danger inside the flood zone.
But all ads here - this one , COL`s and others - are targeting potential byers NOT reading BajaNomad on a regular base. Those who are scrolling
through the net by occasion looking for a home in Baja.
Now, this might be a surprise to everyone here: Yes, I agree, the price tag on this property is 100% o.k. Considering that just some years ago K.
Smith sold the property to Mulegemicheal and Beachgirl for more than 200K. (::: rumor, not sure! Info from 3rd party) Even more thinking about boat,
Quads etc. coming w/ the deal.
As always, there is a "But" to a low price. Question is, who wants to own a home > looking for fun, going fishing and having a good time < but
every two years or so, a potential new owner has to come several weeks not having fun, spending $$$ cleaning his new home from mud, buying new
furniture, painting the home and restoring flood damage.
That is the question which needs to be answered.
Last not least. Why is it that nearly all home owners along the flood zone of the river are trying to get rid of their homes??? For cheap! Despite the
fact that they purchased or built the home some years ago for many $$$ more than they are now asking for?

Thank you, friends, for your lovely comments about our house, and about us, and, of course, about our dear Mulege, and yes, I will cop to the elf
costume comment, but am proud to stand with my husband, mulegemichael, Santa Claus in various places in Baja for over 20 years. Above all else, we
love our friends, and our community. That is something that cannot be replaced, or erased from our memories. Today I went through our Gringo Phone
Book, and our photo albums, and flashed over our years there in our beautiful home. Birthday parties with the (Mexican Beatles) Districo 13, Geoffrey
Castle, community dinners with everyone bringing fish to Cliff Taylor's, a dear, dear wonderful gentle soul, fishing at Mateo's Hole, hugs and an
afternoon c-cktail at Bart's, dinner on the riverside night after night sitting in tank tops and shorts in February, friends walking by on the
riverfront with (or without) dog(s), popping in for a chat, squeezing our own orange juice from our own orange trees, fishing tournaments for Dorado,
carnitas on Saturday mornings at Dany's, the Bloody Marys at El Candil - the finest worldwide, drives to Santa Inez for long walks and sand dollars
where not another person was seen all day, planting our feet in the sand at El Patron while enjoying their perfect seafood soup, reading/napping while
slack-jawed in a recliner outside, shopping at Saul David's and scoring half-and-half, whale watching in the lagoon after a night in San Ignacio in a
yurt. We will have these amazing experiences in our hearts until we die. What can compare to that?

I'm sure your recollections put a smile on many faces reading your post; they sure did on mine. Cliff walked me around your house when I was down
last Fall and it is a beautiful spot; the largest lot in the Oasis and a dream for anyone with a family and time on their hands to spend in Baja.
Your description of Mulege earlier was spot on as well. Sure, there are perils with owning a home in a remote area adjacent to a river, but perils
exist anywhere (even in the hills of coastal Orange County, where we have our share of fires and mudslides). Like any real estate transaction, a
buyer needs to do their diligence and make an informed decision.
Anyone in the market should definitely check out this spot; it is fantastic. I wish I had more time to spend down there. Although I have never met
the buyers, I have certainly heard their names and always in positive terms. This is not a fire sale by any means.
Mulege is definitely a place where memories are made.

If it matters at all I had the pleasure to put a face to the name mulegemichael at a super bowl party downtown.....the year that the Who played half
time. Very nice older gentleman who seemed well liked at the party. Sometimes I forget how many "old guys" are on this forum! They are usually the
ones with all the great experiences though.

So what'd I say? Nice older guy? Like that is how I remember him. I mean to put faces to some of these guys can be a surprise. lol If he is 9
yrs older than me....he be gettin old!
And now it makes sense that he wants to sell and go back home!! Somewhere like Bainbridge Island? Great place.
BTW anyone that visits any of those places on the river would obviously ask the question.....How often does it flood here? Hardly any need to talk
about it. Its called due diligence.

Not trying to be rude, but I'm curious how high the water was on the house in the biggest flood?
