Nestled behind a mature fruit orchard and garden, Casa Vaquera looks out on an expanse of indigenous trees and palms, creating a unique sanctuary.
The main two-bedroom house plus loft was built using traditional methods and locally sourced hardwoods, incorporating rugged stone, mission-style plaster, and hand-hewn antique doors. A more contemporary art studio with palapa covered porch is steps away and can easily be converted to a private guest house or third bedroom.
Additional structures on the property include an ample storage bodega and covered workspace, bath house, and a screened second-story palapa room, perfect for enjoying magnificent sunsets or undisturbed afternoon siestas lulled by the sounds of the ocean and cooled by gentle on-shore breezes.
This spacious corner parcel features 4 deeded lots totaling 6,740 square meters, allowing more than enough room for a pool, additional casitas, or a custom residence complementing the existing buildings.
The property is fenced and gated with private entry just off Calle Los Torotes, allowing a second entry directly off Camino las Playitas. A quick 5-minute walk brings you to a pristine stretch of secluded beach, the magnificent waves of the Pacific Ocean and picture-perfect sunsets dipping below the horizon.
HOUSE CONSTRUCTION DETAILS

The corner posts of Palo Zorillo are embedded into the foundation. The other posts of Palo Zorillo and Mauto are embedded in the walls to form a graceful organic structure.
