Supplements: El Tule, Los Cabos Corridor -- 4 Bed / 3.5 Bath / 3,233 sq ft / $1,225,000 There are ocean view homes on the Los Cabos corridor, and then there is this one. Most of them face a quiet risk that nobody puts in the listing: the view can disappear the day a neighbor gets a building permit. This home does not have that problem. A legal arroyo sits directly in front of the property. It cannot be built on. The ocean views and the Chileno Bay panorama you see from every room, every balcony, and the upper terrace are the same views the next owner will have ten years from now -- something that cannot be said about most ocean view properties on this corridor. The Build The house was originally constructed by an owner who was building for himself, not for resale. That distinction shows up everywhere you look -- and in several places you have to look carefully to appreciate. Most homes on the corridor are built with one septic system. This home has three -- one for the kitchen, one for the laundry, one for the bathrooms and hot tub -- plus a master overflow system if any of them were to fail. The result is a house that has never had a sewage odor problem in over fifteen years of existence -- a direct consequence of how much money went into the original build. The water infrastructure follows the same logic. There is a 10,000-liter underground storage tank, two well pumps with a full backup in case one fails, and a whole-house sediment and chlorine filtration system. Municipal water runs to this property 24 hours a day, 7 days a week -- no trucks, no interruptions, no rationing. On the Los Cabos corridor, that is genuinely uncommon. Most properties in this area deal with scheduled water delivery or intermittent supply. This one does not. The water also passes through a two-stage filtration system before it reaches any tap. A whole-house sediment and chlorine filter is installed at the pump station outside. A second dedicated filter sits under the kitchen sink. Replacement cartridges cost about $10 at Home Depot and last six months. The water tank itself is inspected and cleaned monthly. The practical result is soft, clean water throughout the house with no calcium buildup on fixtures or scale on glass surfaces. The windows and doors throughout the home were custom-ordered from Germany and imported. They are full double-pane, and the difference is immediate -- standing inside the living room with the windows closed, you cannot hear the wind. Every upstairs window and every door is fitted with custom hurricane shutters manufactured in Florida, where hurricane protection is taken seriously. The shutters cost $30,000 USD and were measured, ordered, and installed individually. They seal the house completely. A buyer who plans to be here part of the year can close up the property and leave knowing nothing will move, nothing will rattle, and nothing will get in. The pool is PebbleTech -- a finish that costs more than standard tile but does not crack, does not drop tiles, and does not require periodic resurfacing. It has been in place for years and looks the same as the day it was finished. The outdoor furniture on the terrace is Amish-made composite from Pennsylvania -- a material that does not fade, does not splinter, and does not degrade in sun and salt air. It has been sitting on that terrace for five years. It looks new. The plumbing was fully replaced by the current owner when he took possession. The electrical panels are updated. The interior was repainted throughout. The landscaping -- palm trees, artificial grass, gravel -- was designed and installed by hand for low maintenance and long life. Nothing in this house was left at "good enough." The Numbers That Matter The electricity bill for this home runs between 550 and 865 pesos for a two-month billing cycle. The water bill runs approximately 400 pesos per month. There is no HOA -- not a low HOA, not a manageable HOA. Zero, by title, permanently. No maintenance fees, no community assessments, no annual obligations of any kind attached to this property. Three years ago, the current owner got three separate quotes to build this house from scratch -- structure only, no land, no pool, no landscaping, no shutters. The average quote was 1.1 million dollars. Construction costs have risen since then. Add the lot, the views, the pool, the German windows, the Florida shutters, the furnishings, and the infrastructure, and you are looking at a property that would cost well over two million dollars to replicate today. The asking price is $1,225,000. For context: entry-level condos at Chileno Bay start at ten million dollars, with annual HOA fees that exceed $120,000. Entry-level homes at Cabo Real start at three million. This home sits one mile from Cabo Real Golf Course -- the best public golf course in all of Los Cabos -- with the same Sea of Cortez horizon and no mandatory fees of any kind. The Interior The home is two stories with 3,233 square feet of interior space and an additional 573 square feet of covered deck and patio. The primary view is ocean. The secondary view is mountain. Marble floors run throughout the interior, the balcony, and the patio. Cathedral ceilings in the main living area add volume and light. Every room on the ocean-facing side of the house looks out at the water. There are four bedrooms. Three have ensuite bathrooms and walk-in closets. The primary suite includes a soaking tub and a separate shower. The fourth bedroom, located on the ground floor, is the smallest and the only one without a direct ocean view -- it works well as a guest room, home office, or staff quarters. There is a separate maid's quarters with its own exterior entrance, a private staircase, and a bathroom that is roughed in and ready to finish -- useful as a studio, a rental unit, or a completely self-contained guest suite. The kitchen is all-electric -- no propane -- and includes a full appliance package: refrigerator, dishwasher, electric range, cooktop, microwave, ice maker, wine fridge, clothes washer, and dryer. There is a walk-in pantry. An additional water filtration unit is installed under the kitchen sink as a second stage to the whole-house system. Everything in the kitchen stays with the property. Pocket doors on the upper level open the living space completely to the terrace and the ocean. The living area, dining area, and terrace function as one continuous space when open. A storage room sits under the main staircase. Ceiling fans are installed throughout. Mini-split air conditioning covers the home. There is a hot tub on the upper terrace. Turnkey The home is fully furnished. Beds, sofas, dining furniture, televisions, kitchen appliances, outdoor furniture, linens -- it stays. The current owner is relocating internationally and has no use for the contents. A buyer can close and move in the same week. Nothing needs to be done, repaired, replaced, or upgraded. Everything works. The Location El Tule -- officially Lomas del Tule -- sits on the Los Cabos corridor between San José del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas. It is a gated, guarded community on a paved road, with 24-hour access control. The Grand Velas Los Cabos resort is directly across the highway. Cabo Real Golf Course is one mile away. San José del Cabo is ten minutes in one direction. Cabo San Lucas is ten minutes in the other. The beach at Chileno Bay is a ten-minute walk from the front door. Chileno Bay is one of the few swimmable beaches on the corridor -- calm water, no rip currents, no vendors. From November through April, humpback whales are visible from the upper balcony with binoculars. From June through July, sea turtles nest on the nearby beach. Several nights a week, fireworks go up over the Sea of Cortez from the hotel zone -- visible from the terrace without leaving the property. Local amenities on the corridor near El Tule are growing. There is an OXXO within walking distance, a pizza restaurant, and several food stands. A hospital is under construction near the Cabo Real intersection. The area is the last underdeveloped stretch of the corridor, and property values have moved consistently upward. Institutional financing for foreign buyers is available in Mexico through several lenders. The Buyer This home works for several types of buyers. For a full-time resident, it is a quiet, low-cost, fully operational home in a secure neighborhood with permanent views and no mandatory community fees. For a part-time owner, the hurricane shutters seal the property completely during absences, the infrastructure runs with minimal oversight, and the furnished condition means no setup cost or effort on arrival. For an investor, the four-bedroom layout, the maid's quarters, the proximity to Chileno Bay, and the Airbnb activity already present on the street make it a straightforward rental proposition. For a buyer thinking long-term, the arroyo protection, the corridor location, and the infrastructure quality represent the kind of asset that does not depreciate easily. The house is in a gated community. It is on a paved road. The water runs all day and it's filtered. The lights work. The shutters close. The view does not go away.
