San Felipe, Baja California

This beautiful location on the Baja Peninsula is surrounded by mountains. The town faces the calm, clear waters of the Sea of Cortez. The area is already known to sport aficionados (the Baja 1000 comes through here annually), retirees- fabulous winter weather has been attracting them for years, and the local population. The winter population is already totalling more than 25,000 and each spring the town is inundated with college students and families who come to enjoy the beaches, tacos and fun that is all a part of San Felipe.

San Felipe, located on the west coast of the Sea of Cortez, is becoming a premier destination for retirees, second home buyers and people looking for oceanfront property that allows an affordable quality of life that is difficult to find in many coastal areas of the United States. This past year, with a record number of hurricanes affecting the Atlanic and Gulf of Mexico coastline areas, a surge of interest in real estate has been happening all along the Baja Peninsula. The proximity of San Felipe to large metropolitan cities (San Diego, Los Angeles, Palm Springs, Phoenix - all 7 hours drive or less) has created a flurry of real estate activity in the past year that will most likely continue at an aggressive rate for the next several years.

Prices have been going up steadily in San Felipe. New construction of subdivisions, golf courses, hotels and a plan for a completely remodeled marina have changed the look of San Felipe. Commercial flights are coming soon to the area and this will accelerate the boom of this 'sleepy' little town that is now being discovered by people looking at San Felipe as a place they would like to call home.

The location of the San Felipe Villas is amazing! Walking distance to town with restaurants and shopping makes the villas convenient. But the oceanfront perch with unobstructed views of both town to the right and the Machorro mountains to the left of the back patios is what makes them breathtaking. There is a gated, private staircase to the beach area about 20 feet down from the cliff area where the villas are situated. The grounds will have a swimming pool area and a palapa for the residents to enjoy. The exterior design of the villas is modeled with a Mediterranean flair. Each unit has a private courtyard that can't be seen from the street. The courtyard leads up to a beautiful custom front door that opens into a lovely open floor plan that takes adavantage of the ocean views that each villa will have. Each villa has a covered patio, master bedroom patio and roof top terrace to make outdoor living and entertaining a way of life. The views from each of these patios will extend to the horizon and the sound of the surf and the smell of the salt air will remind you that 'there is no place like home.'

Only the highest quality of building materials and finishes will be used in each home. Each villa will be unique in the finish choices regarding flooring, cabinetry, granite and wall color. The fabulous home, amazing views and great location are also enhanced by membership privileges at the nearby San Felipe Riviera Resort community. This gated community will have an 18-hole golf course, tennis courts, a gym and spa. It is anchored by the Riviera Hotel that is a landmark in the San Felipe community. Welcome home!
