MODERN MEXICAN BEACH HOME FOR SALE: NEAR LOS CABOS
If your dream has been to live on a pristine, secluded, and seemingly endless white sand beach bordering gentle turquoise waters, then this home beckons you. Beachcombing, safe swimming, kayaking, surf casting, snorkeling, and world class sports fishing are just a few steps away. The nearby mountains offer a refreshing shower under a cascading waterfall or a relaxing soak in a natural hot spring.
Casa de Milagros (House of Miracles) is located on the East Cape of Baja Sur near the unspoiled town of La Ribera, 50 minutes north of the Los Cabos airport and directly on the Sea of Cortez. The East Cape is a spectacular place to live. The stunning beauty of the Sea of Cortez combined with the striking shapes of the Copal and Madron desert forest is a vision to be experienced. Just a short drive from the house is the world famous Cabo Pulmo National Marine Park, the only living reef in the Eastern Pacific. This park is the place to swim, snorkel, or dive in what Jacques Cousteau called the “aquarium of the world” because of its abundance of diverse marine life including tropical fish and marine mammals.
Casa de Milagros is a modern Mexican hacienda designed by an award-winning architect. It is elegant in its simplicity and was built to show off the natural scenery of the area. When you enter the large central courtyard your eye is immediately drawn to the 60’ lap pool which is the interior focal point of the house. Just a few short steps away and you are in the great room which opens to an expansive terrace with an unsurpassed view of the Sea of Cortez and the Sierra Laguna mountains.
The floor plan of the house, with both public and private spaces, invites socializing and entertaining or escaping, the choice is yours. The home has 4 bedrooms with private bathrooms and an office suite with private bath which could be a fifth bedroom. One of the bedrooms has a small kitchen area and could serve as maid’s quarters. The light, bright, and open great room includes a living room with gas fireplace, dining room, and a modern kitchen with walk-in pantry. All rooms have modern ceiling fans and one bedroom is air conditioned. The two-car garage includes the laundry area and ample storage.
The house has both underground electricity and a complete back-up solar energy system, which significantly reduces monthly power bills. There is solar hot water and a large water storage tank so that the home always has a supply of fresh water. All of the water entering the home is filtered.
The home was built on a 30 x 50 meter lot and can be purchased with an adjoining lot of the same size, allowing another home and guest house to be built. The landscape includes a large organic garden, tropical fruit trees, numerous palms and agaves, colorful bougainvilleas, and a variety of exotic desert and tropical plants. The entire property is watered by a newly installed automatic sprinkler system.
The home was built to be a beach home and was meant to be lived in. There is an outdoor shower for washing away beach sand, a small outdoor kitchen with gas grill, easy-care tile floors throughout that welcome wet feet, and sensible furnishings.
All interior and exterior furnishings are included in the price, and the house is ready to move in, with dishes, small kitchen appliances, utensils, and complete linens.
The location of this home provides an authentic experience of real Mexico away from the glamour and glitz of the mega resort and the boring sameness of planned golf course communities. However, if you desire a 5 star resort, delicious international cuisine, or luxurious spa treatments, Los Cabos is a short drive away. Also, a full service marina and golf course are being built just a short drive away.
The history of the East Cape is abundant with stories of the rich and famous escaping to Baja for a soak in the sun when the only way to get here was in a private plane. They are still coming, drawn by the rare beauty of Baja Sur and the promise of a private paradise where life is rich, real, and restorative. You can make this home your private paradise!
