Life can be exhausting. As a longtime resident of Los Cabos—I’ve been here for nearly two decades—I’ve watched countless folks arrive in search of something different. They’ve spent their adult lives going nonstop: racing to move up the corporate ladder, chasing after children, working, working, working. But now, once they’ve reached a certain level of financial freedom, they’re ready to enjoy life and embrace a lifestyle one can enjoy only in Los Cabos.
The relatively new real estate project Sendero San José is like a dream come to life. It’s located within the upscale master-planned Club Campestre and nestled in the graceful rolling hills of the Sierra de la Laguna Mountains. Imagine a country place outside the city with wandering paths where neighbors come together to enjoy quality living. It’s that idyllic.
This is an exclusive, one-of-a-kind community in which developers have limited the number of homes in order to provide homeowners with a relaxing, luxurious experience. Though the development is located only three minutes from shops, five minutes from San José del Cabo and 15 from an international airport, inside the double-gated Sendero San José compound, residents are enveloped by a tranquil and serene environment.
This development is almost like a fortress, but only in the most wonderful way. The outside world is there for you to enjoy, but when you want to retreat here to Sendero San José you’re protected by magnificent ocean views, beautifully landscaped gardens that blend the desert with trees and flower meadows.There are more than 100,000 square feet of beautifully landscaped gardens and open spaces, an infinity pool, a Jacuzzi, Feng Shui fire pits, waterfalls, fountains, an artificial lake, and palm-thatched entertainment areas. To conceive such an atmosphere, San José CH Architectos (the developers of Sendero), created a tranquil and safe environment to enjoy life to its fullest. Homeowners pay monthly dues currently at approximately $250 U.S. to maintain the common areas and facilities.
Sendero San José is a small condominium complex of full-ownership residences with abundant amenities that is located within the larger Campestre multiplex development and nicely able to provide the best of two worlds. This is the ideal spot to consider, whether you’re looking to live full time, retire, or invest in a vacation home. Without ever leaving the Sendero San José compound, you can enjoy the 3,200-square-foot beach club, clubhouse with restaurant, bar, and pools. Within the Campestre campus, there is an 18-hole championship golf course designed by Jack Nicklaus, featuring a fully equipped clubhouse that includes amenities such as tennis and racquetball courts, a pro shop, an auditorium, a pool, a Jacuzzi, a gym, a coffee shop, and a restaurant. The initial fee to join is currently $34,400 U.S. with monthly dues of $550 U.S. optional.
Different tastes demand different spaces. There are 67 full-ownership residences with five different models from which to choose each with a private terrace, bar, and Jacuzzi, ranging from 1,518 to 2,691 square feet. Some models contain two bedrooms and two baths, while others have three bedrooms and three baths and two terraces.
The already-completed first phase has 16 units ready for occupancy. Each unit is one level of luxury finishes located in a multistory building with an elevator servicing each of the four buildings. Features include high ceilings, travertine marble floors and baths, granite countertops, alder wood cabinetry, stainless steel Frigidaire kitchen appliances including a built-in microwave oven, refrigerator/freezer with ice maker, electric oven and stove, and dishwasher. Roomy showers have tempered glass doors. There are ceiling fans throughout as well as zoned airconditioning. Each condo has its own laundry room with washer and dryer and a pantry. Internet access and satellite TV are also included and separate garages are available.
Spacious bedrooms have large walk-in closets with most bedrooms opening onto a terrace with its own Jacuzzi and bar—the perfect spot to watch spectacular sunsets over the Sea of Cortés. Top-floor units have a separate TV room and an extended roof garden with a pergola covered grilling area, which are ideal for entertaining or just enjoying the beautiful vistas.
Indoor-outdoor living is at its best at Sendero San José. The private compound is geared toward families, and there is a pool especially created for children’s protection. Relax in the “Relaxation Station” with a good book or in the company of friends. The Terrace Lounge is another place to hang out with friends and to celebrate special moments with your loved ones.
What makes this luxury living all the better is its close proximity to shopping, fabulous restaurants, and the culture of México with its art, music, crafts, and fiestas. A tropical estuary is but a stone’s throw away, and is home to more than 150 bird species. The Statue Garden—which recently hosted the Sabor a Cabo food and wine festival; see more on page 24—provides bike trails near the Puertos Los Cabos Marina. Scuba diving, sportfishing, and natural events such as whale watching and baby turtle releases are a way of life in this lovely community. And Cabo San Lucas is less than 20 miles away.
Sendero San José is currently offering introductory prices to those who are able to make a 30 percent down payment and pay off the balance within six to eight months. Depending on the configuration, prices range from approximately $300,000 U.S. to $427,000 U.S. for the 2,669-square-foot model with a roof garden. As of press time, there are two-bedroom, two-bathroom and three-bedroom, three-bathroom models available to be purchased.
BuildMex, A.I., is the real estate sales managing company in charge of working with the clients’ requirements. Group ARED is a credit broker created to improve and expedite the lending approval process.
