I happen to know one of the Residents there, nice people, and they're very happy with the project and their new "green" home there.
They had a very large underground water storage tank installed and so far have been hiring large water trucks to come from San Felipe and fill them
up. They are also working on setting up a water tank on a trailer and get water from "The Well" (Arroyo Matomi) 5 miles south of their Community.
Same well all of Puertecitos and surrounding area gets they're water from. |
you are spoiling everyone's fun. Glad to see someone posted first hand info! |
 First hand information is often a rare thing around here, especially as it
pertains to a SPECIFIC thing, not a bunch of generalities about what has happened with someone else at some other time. Thanks Baja Warrior.
Any potential buyers should still do their homework and that applies to everywhere!

Yes, the using of Escalera Nautica is not good as that is a dead project, |
Perhaps that's a clue as to the age of the website. |
That I believe is valid. Before the economic and real estate collapse, many projects that were started stopped and are now coming back to life.
Gees, I sound like I am defending this project, and I am not. |
The Mexican government already sold off the assets as much as they could. I'm unaware of what success they had. The only ones that were not for sale
were Topolobampo and Puerto Escondido I believe. This was back in '09. By '10 they couldn't sell them as a package, and allowed buyers to
cherry-pick.
Again, I'm not aware of the final outcome.
btw... the Rancho Costa Verde web site first posted information about Escalera Nautica on their site sometime between December 19, 2008 and February
24, 2009:

The site has been updated - code-wise - since August 19, 2010, but no change was made to the text or highlight of the Escalera Nautica information at
that time apparently. Here's the current page:

Yes, the development is permitted to construct a well that will provide water via desalinization plant. ETA: The homes can also be equipped with
additional atmospheric water generators.

There are no plans for a golf course at Rancho Costa Verde, so it may not be the place for an avid golfer who intends to live on the site. El Dorado
Ranch is about 45 minutes north though.

Slanderous?? well maybe, but in all fairness, the San Felipe area has gotten a
terrible rep from so called developers, a lot of people have been taken to the cleaners,
so lets say that this development is legit, they will have to jump over a lot of bodies first, then will have to answer some really direct questions
and not beat around the bush with the answers
they either have their act together or they don't, No gray areas
well unless they are selling to people that just don't know and just walk in with blinders on,, we have all seen this happen time and time again
|
You're absolutely right. The main concerns we encounter from prospective buyers understandably surround the legality of the entire process
(particularly in regards to why and how a foreigner can actually OWN in Mexico and knowing their investments are clean in title) so of course we have
to be prepared to discuss them fully. This isn't a ball and gag scam with a bunch of itchy sales people. If the development MAKES SENSE for the
buyer based on our assurances and legal backing, they can move forward with the investment. If it doesn't, they don't.

It would be interesting to know if any of the people
who "won" those lots were ever able to do anything with them.

I was gifted one by a late relitave they WON it and paid membership dues for years and never came to Mexico. We took the lot# and paper work to the
office out there to check it out we were shown this large map on the wall and the agent pointed to this dot wayyyy up on the mountian . we asked if we
could see it. There was no road. we were informed we could trade it for another lot but it repersented no cash value.
The only good that came out of it we were allowed to stay in thier R V Park for 10 days and attend a sales pitch meeting with a comp. meal. did not
buy a lot at that time. That missadventure is a whole nother story

Where does the money for the plant and upkeep come from?
How many gallons per day will you supply to each homesite?

Interesting... fair enough!
