Luxury Living at the Pedregal de Cabo San Lucas
Pedregal de Cabo San Lucas, is the original luxury community located at Land’s End in Baja California Sur, Mexico.
Baja California with its mountain ranges, tropical seas, jagged and beautiful rock formations, dramatic coastlines, desert (and its hearty, lovely flora), and year-round climate make for a very unique living experience and this development embraces it all.
The Vision
It was created by Manuel Diaz Rivera in 1974 when he saw the future attraction that this beautiful cape was to have. He purchased 360 acres of land just north of the actual tip of the Baja Peninsula and began designing an infrastructure of streets, water system and utilities.
Paradise on Earth
Pedregal provides a place locals and foreigners can call their own
"I have lived in Pedregal since 1984 and would not move to any other location. My views are spectacular, it is convenient to the things I enjoy….beaches, restaurants, movies. Pedregal is my home."
--Joanie Feinstein
Just where the desert meets the sea at Land’s End is a place of magnificent sunrises and sunsets… Pedregal de Cabo San Lucas.
As diamonds are formed by the congress of minerals and heat, Pedregal de Cabo San Lucas sparkles with the drama of two oceans held at bay by the Baja: gorgeous homes with epic views, the stark peacefulness of the desert… and remarkably, an investment opportunity waiting to be seized.
Contrary to what many think, U.S. citizens can buy property in Mexico with the same assurance as in the United States, and still make it profitable. Owning property in Mexico is easier than ever. The process of holding title for foreigners is different than in the United States. The restricted zone is off of the coast (and all The Baja), in which foreigners can purchase land through a land trust, or a Fideicomiso. Nowadays, 80% of happily owners at Pedregal de Cabo San Lucas own their piece of paradise throughout a Fideicomiso.
Pedregal’s exclusive location offers breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean and the sublime mountains of Baja California Sur. A community featuring world class homes that span miles of secluded beaches and unspoiled desert. El Pedregal is an exhilarating place where nature and the natural landscaping come together with extraordinary architecture and quality Mexican craftsmanship.
After 30 years of strengthening the Los Cabos real estate market with the sale of luxury mountainside homes, Pedregal continues to be a beacon of secure, valuable and top-quality oceanfront property. The purchase of prime property in this community creates value on many levels… benefits to the soul often can exceed the value of a positive return on investment.
Manuel Diaz Rivera’s vision was to create a well planned quality development. Now after more than 30 years in the making, the Diaz Rivera family, has witnessed the building of nearly three hundred homes within the Pedregal, ranging in size from 3,000 square feet to over 20,000 square feet.
Inhabitants of the Pedregal enjoy idle hours watching the migration of blue whales off the Pacific coast, sport fishing, surfing, sailing, scuba diving, playing golf and tennis, and taking long quiet walks along miles of seashore. The easy pace of life is refreshing, calming, and uplifting to the spirit and while Cabo de San Lucas is now a resort tourist destination for many, Pedregal has become a way of life.
This mountainside community which acts a backdrop for the town of Cabo San Lucas with its 360° views and cobble stoned streets, gated entries, utilities, represents the best of the Old World and all that’s new and has emerged as the region most prestigious neighborhood.
Philosophy
Today three generations of Diaz Riveras call the Pedregal their home and are dedicated to being involved in all aspects of the community. They encourage individuals the freedom to create unique properties and take full advantage of the climate and natural wonders of the Baja.
Beautiful gardens and elaborate stone-work add to the elegance of many properties. You will not be surprised that several Pedregal homes have been featured in major publications.
The Diaz Riveras explain that, “In the Pedregal, we provide residents with access to the highest standards of construction. So, residents can build structures that are eco-friendly, cohesive with our natural surroundings, and have the lowest amount of visual impact."
To encourage protection of the quality and investment made in Pedregal, we have a homeowner’s association. This association includes an architectural committee which approves all construction plans and protects the views from adjacent lots.”
The Future
The Diaz Riveras are not only continuing the Pedregal development but have also began a new Pedregal located in the capital city of La Paz about 2 hours north of Cabo San Lucas on the Sea of Cortez.
Pedregal de la Paz
The demand for Pedregal de Cabo San Lucas has consistently risen over the past 3 decades, so in order to capitalize on the community’s high regard in the Los Cabos market, the Diaz family decided to develop another Pedregal in La Paz.
According the Diaz Rivera family “the opportunity to mimic the same lifestyle and quality of Pedregal presented itself in La Paz.” The new site in La Paz is located only minutes from the Malecón and downtown. Lots have been allocated and are now in the beginning stages of being
