I remember that place. For a long time it had her reputation but was not much more than a palapa and a bathroom. We called it Olivia Newton's john. Kenny, has the arroyo left any kind of road access to that place from upstream? Is there a new driveway?

Do you expect something out of Architectural Digest for 5K?

Just one opinion, FWIW,
I've been "looking" and dreaming for decades of having a place in Baja. Made several trips just to see what we could find. Now I'm probably not going to buy right now but who knows if I see something that just calls me. That is why pictures are a real good marketing tool. You never know who might see them and decide to buy.
Without them many will not even give it a second look.
Just like marketing airplanes. Those ads that give no price but say "call for info" will never get sold. Same with homes without pictures.
People want to see what they are getting in to.
And I do realize the limitations of the net and posting from SOB.
Just one opinion that's all. If I was down there right now I'd stop by and do a photo shoot of the area and both homes just to post for everyone.

Real estate marketing is all visual. If you don't throw out a pic or 2 to entice, few will bother to look.
Can you imagine house hunting and having to contact each house for sale to individually ask for a picture?

Ms. John must have really liked the Mulege area. She also had a place/site at Villas de Mulege, which is just south of the microwave tower in the Bay of Conception. Sorry, no pictures..even by email. :rolleyes:

Very interesting post Vag, WE (the locals and other Gringos in the Village) also had a name for your place, it was called a piece of chit and it lived up to it's name when the hurricane came as it floated down the river like a turd and Olivias stood strong and is still here.

Don you are probably correct in that I see posting issues here lots of times.
My comment was just that a comment not meant to knock anyone. If I was there I'd take the pics and post just to help out. Frankly it has me interested as I have never been there and want to see it. I just didn't want to bother anyone with tire kicking if I wasn't seriously looking right now.

now that is good information - the next big storm might just wipe the entire village off the map. Just like parts of Mulege

All I can say is that my only interaction with Ken was #1 First Class.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend talking to him if anyone is interested in SN.
I am now interested. Don't know where it will go with the little woman, but I am interested.

That sounds like a real assholian response. Maybe I'm just reading it wrong? :dudette:
