Summer's coming -- the Pacific is waay cooler!
Summer's coming and the Cortez side is starting to get hot. This is when we start thinking about how great it would be to live on the Pacific...can't
do it--we're tied into La Paz for work. However, we love to visit with fellow Nomads Rob and Linda at Playas Pacificas in July and August when La Paz
is sweltering. They have a new development of huge serviced lots for sale just fully permitted. Unlike a lot of other beaches on the Pacific, theirs
is safe for swimming. Sitting in the waves drinking a ballena is more my style, but my husband loves to body surf.
The property has access to miles of secluded beaches, great off-shore fishing...it's like Baja used to be but with water and electricity.
Check out their website at www.playaspacificas.info

Roamer, you are making me absolutely giddy with the thought of more gringos heading for the Pacific side of this little sliver of land. There were few
people here on this side when I vacationed here for over 40 years. The place had not yet filled up when I moved here for good 15 years ago. Over the
last 20 years or so things have conspired to keep the place from overflowing -- ejido problems, realty problems, crime/drugs/danger elsewhere,
economics, oil prices, etc. etc. and now "the hot summer rumor". I can help you -- all the fish are gone, dengue is rampant, tomatoes are sky high.

Well, I know that in summer their tomato plants are sky high...they have a great organic garden. There's lots of fish, their lots are eligible for
title insurance, they have water rights not tied up in the ejido...it's gorgeous.

i got with Robin today.
nice spot.
the vineyards will be an interesting amenity.
might take a while for the market to meet the asking -but - it is paradise and they are not making any more of it.
needs a Runway though....

When you figure the project has been 8 years in the making, bringing in electricity, buying water rights, digging a well and putting in pumps and
pipes to get the water from the well to the lots, the Environmental Impact Study, subdivision, permits and the size of the lots...the prices don't
seem out of line. There are lots available in other areas that have none of the above and are cheaper. With these, Rob and Linda have done all the
hard work for you.

They are beautiful. We have tromped all over the property with Rob and Linda. They have a huge organic garden and plans for a vineyard in the rancho
valley. The beaches go on forever with almost no one on them...just the occasional fisherman. It would be a cool place to live.

I always wonder if the purpose of a gated community is to keep the Norteamericanos in or to keep the natives out?

They are large lots. I did the arithmetic on the $130K (cheapest) lot and it came to $35 per square meter. Not bad I guess if the water and electricty
hookups are right there at the lot and included in the price.
What do you folks think about the per meter asking price? I really don't know what the going rate is.
I didn't see any indication of utilities or roads being present in the photos on the website. Nor did I see an explanation of where the lots are
except on the Pacific, one hour from La Paz. Somewhere north of Todos Santos I assume.
How far from the highway? Who maintains the road in? Paved, dirt?

i think $6 a ft is absurd.
half that might make sense.

To see where they are on a Google Earth view, go to www.lapaz-centenariohomes.com. Click on the tab at the left that says Playas Pacificas. The same lots are there, but these have a map. The link
for the map is under the photos to the right. The price includes water and electricity to the lot line. The roads will be paved. The ranch gate is
about a km from the beach and these lots are just above the beach, an easy 3 minutes walk on a gently sloping path.

The turn off is at km 55 north of La Paz. The road in is 20 km of dirt to the ranch gate. Paved roads within the development only. (I tried to edit
the above post but couldn't get my edit to post!)

There's about 11 sq. ft in a square meter so $35 a meter is about $3.20 a sq. ft.
And it really depends upon location. I bought a larger lot in the development I'm in in Playas de Tijuana and the extra dirt cost me $144 a sq. meter.
Of course TJ is paradise.

In TJ it's definitely to keep non-residents out, wherever they're from.

There is 13000 meters of huerta land for
sale below me with irrigation water and power for 20 dollars a meter. It's not more than 500 meters from a beautiful beach.

That's a good data point. Pescadero or TS? I wonder what the price per meter would be for 1000 meters in the same location.
