Baja … a panorama of blue water, sparkling sunshine and white sandy beaches … provides a beautiful setting for El Dorado Ranch. Located just north of San Felipe, this beach-oriented community offers sea view homesites to Californians seeking affordable real estate for family vacations, second homes, or retirement.

El Dorado Ranch was created to be a secluded hideaway from the daily hustle and bustle. Every property (about 1/4 acre) features picture perfect views of the sea, mountain and desert. Priced from the $40,000s, the custom homesites are level, surveyed, buildable sites available in a variety of settings and sizes. Developer financing and American Title Insurance is available.

A limited number of two- and three-bedroom villas and condominiums have just been released. These homes feature many custom options including sea view balconies, fireplaces, oversized master suites, guest quarters, covered patios and exterior beach showers.

Created for outdoor leisure lovers, who find pleasure in a wide variety of outdoor activities, but appreciate the benefits of owning real estate in a carefully crafted, secure, master planned development.

Property owners have access to beautiful palm-shaded beaches and the Sea of Cortez for fishing, boating, and water sports. Baja offers a near perfect climate with average temperature in the 70s, three inches of yearly rainfall, and 330 days of sunshine a year. Its amenities include a beach club, waterside restaurants, heated pool and spa, hammock village, miles of trail for dune buggies, tennis courts and an 18-hole championship golf course.

El Dorado Ranch is a product of 14 years of careful planning and environmentally sensitive construction by American Developer, Pat Butler. When Butler first discovered this huge tract of land located 7 miles north of San Felipe, its magnificent, unspoiled beauty impressed him. “I had never been to Baja before. Here, the best beaches in the world are right under your toes,” Butler said.

“Buying or building a dream vacation or second home in Mexico is more affordable and accessible than it has ever been for Americans. U.S. dollars go six to eight times further in Mexico than in the United States, which translates into the ability to own resort property for as little as one-third the cost of comparable property here in the States.”

The debut of El Dorado Ranch, according to Butler, could not have arrived at a better time. “NAFTA reforms and new laws protecting foreign investment are fueling a booming market in retirement property,” he said. “More than 1 million Americans live in Mexico and that number will grow even if it is only because over the next 20 years, 10,000 baby boomers every day will reach age 50.”

According to Butler, “Times are changing in Mexico. Its constitution was amended in the 1990s to make it possible for American to own real estate south of the border, including previously restricted areas located near the coast. Baja’s El Dorado Ranch offers an opportunity for Californians to take advantage of Mexico’s booming real estate market.”

“We’re dream consultants. We fulfill people’s dreams at affordable prices.” says Michael Cresci, president of R-Mac Properties at a recent El Dorado Ranch informational seminar.

A recent article in Time magazine states, “Forget Miami. Gringos are retiring in Mexico because it is sunny, sandy, and cheap.” San Felipe’s motto, ‘No Bad Days,’ is the reason it has become a magnet for Americans looking to vacation or retire.”
