Highest Point On East Cape, The Hill Retreat, Los Barriles, Bcs

If you want to enjoy the best of Baja’s East Cape, but value your privacy, tranquility, and peace, then The Hill Retreat is the perfect property for you.

The Hill Retreat is a unique property located high in the hills of Buena Vista, comprising 27 acres of land, a guest house with two bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and a four-car garage, plus permits and plans ready to build a spectacular main residence at the summit.

Once built, the main residence will officially be the highest-lying home in the East Cape, offering breathtaking 360° panoramic views of the mountains and the Sea of Cortez.

The property spans just over 105,000 square meters and can be subdivided. The seller already has a preliminary plan to develop 42 premium lots, all with prime views. Priced at USD $3.5 million, this property represents an excellent investment opportunity, with an approximate cost of USD $32 per square meter, while land in the area typically sells for between USD $75 and $100 per square meter.

The buyer can choose to reduce the number of lots to create an exclusive development or simply enjoy private living in their main residence along with the guest house.

Located in the municipality of Los Cabos, The Hill Retreat is just 8 minutes from Los Barriles, close to all amenities and some of the best beaches in the region.

The owners have made a significant investment to transform this property into a true retreat, including:

Landscaping around the guest house designed and overseen by Edge of the Sea – Kristine Edge, including an irrigation system for easy maintenance.

The guesthouse operates entirely off-grid and features six mini-split air conditioners (including those in the garage/storage area), 30 550-watt solar panels, and two 56-volt, 280 Ah battery banks. The system can run the air conditioning throughout the night using only the energy stored in the batteries.
A 20 kW propane-powered industrial generator is configured to start automatically when the battery charge level is low, ensuring a continuous power supply.
A Starlink internet system with a mesh network of routers provides excellent Wi-Fi coverage throughout the house and garage.
The main access road has already been built, and several platforms have been constructed on different lots to facilitate visits and allow for enjoying the views.
The current access to the guesthouse is temporary; the permanent access will offer a much more convenient entrance to both the guesthouse and the future site of the main residence. Approximately one mile of fencing has been installed around the 27 acres that comprise The Hill Retreat.

The owners possess a property located further down the hill with a large 8,000-gallon cistern, supplied by the municipal water system. Currently, water is pumped from this cistern to the guesthouse, where there is another 8,000-gallon cistern. Additionally, a project has been approved by OMSAPA to install a 3-inch pipeline that will allow water to be pumped to a larger cister
