/
Colina del Sol is a residential project in the East Cape Region of Baja California Sur. At Colina del Sol improved residential lots and three custom home designs are available for those looking to make a real estate investment in Baja Sur. The East Cape has long been known as a Sportsman’s’ Paradise for great fishing, windsurfing, kiting and more can now become home to those looking to relocated to Mexico and enjoy the relaxed Baja lifestyle with an ocean view of the Sea of Cortez.
The East Cape region of Baja has long been a favorite of North Americans looking for year round real estate or a second home that embraces the Baja California Sur lifestyle. The East Cape earned the nickname a “Sportsman’s Paradise” decades ago, for the fantastic sport fishing in the Sea of Cortez. Early visitors to the area included John Wayne, Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby. Spanning the western entrance to the Sea of Cortez, the blue green waters along East Cape’s shores are the first heat up for spring fishing and the last to go cold in the late autumn.
As the popularity of East Cape grew, so did the reasons the area was so popular. Vacationers discovered scuba diving along the Cabo Pulmo Reef, the only living reef in the northeast Pacific, only a few hundred meters offshore. Windsurfing along the northeast facing beaches is very popular during the winter months and is known a world class board ride many days of the season. In the spring and summer months the southwest facing beaches of the Lower East Cape can provide some excellent long breaks for surfers. And of course, sport fishing is still one of the great draws to the region.

Today, these windsurfers, surfers, adventurers and sport fishermen have well established year round homes in East Cape which has become one of the hottest real estate markets in Baja California Sur. Because of the regions unique lifestyle offering, growth in this market is presenting significant appreciation for the real estate investor. Fabulous ocean view year-rund homes are sprouting up all along the coastline that just 10 years ago was dotted with winter “Baja Camps”.
Now, Colina del Sol is offering ocean view lots and custom home construction for those desiring to make a real estate investment in Baja California Sur. Located just over a mile north of the town of Los Barriles, this new “Green Community” of less than 200 lots will be self sufficient with a desalinization plant and water treatment facilities already in operation.
Rich in local vegetation like Cardon cactus, Palo Blanco and Elephant trees, the developers are conserving these natural treasures or relocating them within the property to maintain the authentic look and feel that attracted people to the region in the first place. A special nursery is nearing completion on the property to nurture vegetation that may be temporarily transplanted during construction. Valued plants on your lot will be moved, cared for, and then returned to your property once the construction is completed.
