Affordable ocean view homes in northern Baja 

On my last drive down to Baja Mexico last week, I took my friends to the incredible new "little" development of "all-green" homes just south of the border! they where amazed.

Thus, I felt compelled to write this blog for you all to read,  about the first genuine GREEN HOME development in northern Mexico, located just 20 minutes south of the border, in the beautiful Baja California, designed by the Award-winning Architect group led by Guillermo Martinez De Castro.  

This development is funded by a joint US-Mexico Development Fund.   

   Gardenhaus is an innovative development of town homes surrounded by beautiful gardens and walkways arranged around a centrally located ocean view pool and deck. Gardenhaus is set in a raised platform 10 feet above the street for maximum exposure to the ocean, privacy from the surroundings and access to an underground parking.

All the homes have spectacular ocean views form 2nd and 3rd floor balconies and terraces with some specially situated homes offering ocean views from living areas and 1st floor terraces.

Gardenhaus will have state of the art electronic entry and video surveillance systems controlled from the security office located at the entry gate.
