Casa Martin – Las Tunas – Todos Santos

Experience the Embrace of Old Mexico’s Charm.

Full of cultural richness, this Mexican Colonial-style home welcomes you from every corner with timeless artisan elements, hand-carved wooden furniture chosen specifically for the house, custom woodwork and cabinets throughout, colorful tile accents dancing across walls and staircases, and playful wrought iron details. The warmth of old Mexico offers a harmonious blend of timeless character while integrating modern updates throughout the house for your comfort and convenience. Enter the property through a charming private gate where lush, mature, landscaped paths and garden areas lead you to the first of many shaded patios. Traditional Saltillo tile floors, handcrafted barro roof tiles, and elaborate oak entry doors greet you.

Step inside the main level, introducing an open-concept floor plan that seamlessly blends the foyer into the cozy living space with a wood-burning fireplace leading into a spacious kitchen adorned by handcrafted tile accents. Adjacent dining for ten guests illuminated overhead by a custom chandelier is perfect for that holiday dinner party. An intimate nook with playful wrought iron doors invites you to grab a bottle from the ornate cabinet, which has plenty of room for glasses and bar items. Ample storage for red wines and an adjacent wine fridge keep that vintage champagne chilled and ready to pop the cork.

Leaving the kitchen, discover a spacious family room bordered by hand-hewn wooden barn doors open to the home’s manicured grounds, seamlessly integrating indoor and outdoor living. This is where the cooking magic happens, utilizing the custom barbecue grill, smoking brisket and ribs in the Green Egg, and comfortable seating for up to six people. A forty-foot colonnade hosts a second table seating up to 12 people, providing the perfect spot for entertaining friends and family year-round.

Architectural features of this unique home include beamed ceilings, traditional boveda arched brick in the breezeway, and numerous windows that perfectly frame the tranquil views of the Pacific Ocean in the distance and lush vegetation in the adjacent gardens.

Ready to hit the hay? The first of two en-suite bedrooms enters from the downstairs covered patio into an intimate space with a queen bed, leather armchairs perfect for nighttime reading, and a comfortable three-piece bathroom.

The entire second story incorporates the most amazing space to spend your time. A romantic canopied King bed invites lazy mornings, and the nearby Kiva-style fireplace takes the chill off those winter nights. Two comfy armchairs are perfect for watching a movie before tucking in. Head down the hallway featuring plenty of closet space, leading to a small room allowing for a home office, a baby room, or additional storage, from there into a large bathroom offering double sinks, ample shower, and a wooden armoire perfect for storing linens, towels, and personal items. Ocean views abound from all windows on this second level. Choose between two private patios for a morning salute to the sun yoga session or enjoy whale watching and fabulous sunsets. A third roof deck offers panoramic vistas from La Poza all the way to La Pastora.

Sharing the property and perched atop the detached garage is a gorgeous studio casita with a full kitchen, colorful bath, private patio, and a palapa-covered upper deck highlighting 180-degree ocean views and breathtaking sunsets. Perfect for hosting guests and family members or utilized as an income-producing rental unit. Casita has its own private entry on the north side of the property with a refreshing outdoor shower and abundant storage space. And spanning the property between the main house and casita is ample room for a custom-designed swimming pool, raised-bed organic gardens, or an additional structure.
Walking distance to numerous restaurants and cafes, a beer garden with authentic German food and more types of beer than you can imagine, a family-owned grocery store offering organic vegetables in season, roadside vendors selling homemade tamales, tacos, and nursery plants, and an impromptu car wash to rinse off the Baja desert dust.

This beautiful property sits on an 11,937-square-foot lot and is being sold separately or as part of a larger property with an additional home, garage, and 50-foot lap pool.
