Playa Tortuga Homesite 35 is an exceptional 3,401 square meter (0.84 acre) homesite in Playa Tortuga, second row from the beach on the southern East Cape of Los Cabos, Mexico, 30 minutes from downtown San José del Cabo.

The land rises gently from the road to a natural building envelope, the Sea of Cortez to the east and the Sierra de la Laguna behind, its highest peak visible on clear days. Sunrise arrives over open water and evening light settles across the mountains.

Playa Tortuga Homesite 35 is minutes from the Shipwrecks surf break, 20 minutes from Flora Farms and Tamarindos, and a 15 minute drive from Zai Sushi and Lateral Tacos.

Not included above, because these are negotiated or set per transaction rather than published as a fixed rate: the acquisition tax (ISAI, a municipal percentage that varies by municipality), notary fees, appraisal, registry fees and title insurance. Those come from your notary and closing agent, and I can walk you through them for this specific property. Each one is broken down, concept by concept, in the guide to closing costs in Los Cabos.
A foreign buyer on this coast holds title through a Mexican bank trust rather than directly. How it works, what it costs each year and how it is renewed is explained in the guide to the fideicomiso, the Mexican bank trust.
