Been Holding off on Starting the Custom Beach House of Your Dreams in the Americas?

It is finally time to start designing and building the custom home of your dreams on a white sand beach in San José del Cabo, Los Cabos, and Baja Sur. Or maybe you prefer the comfort of the mountains and more rural areas near Santiago, Miraflores or Loreto?

The Fitz Team has you covered there as well. We love to dream and we love to build and we love to garden. So long as it does not interfere with beach and family time. What do you like to do?

If you’ve ever dreamed about building a home that reflects exactly how you want to live — indoor/outdoor spaces, ocean views, natural materials, breezy minimalist design — Baja Sur is calling. Still one of the rare places where building a custom home is not only possible, but refreshingly doable.

From beachfront lots to hillside vistas with ocean views, the options for creating your custom sanctuary here are growing fast. The process is far more accessible than you might expect.

Here’s what makes building in Baja such a compelling opportunity:

Design Your Life, Not Just Your Floor Plan

Whether your style leans organic modern, coastal hacienda, desert chic, or full-blown eco-luxury, you’ll find incredible local architects and builders who specialize in bringing visionary homes to life. This isn’t cookie-cutter development — it’s custom craftsmanship, designed around your lifestyle.

You can integrate open-air courtyards, plunge pools, rooftop terraces, guest casitas, yoga decks, chef’s kitchens — even solar design and water-harvesting systems. Baja is a place where indoor and outdoor living blend seamlessly, and where your home becomes a true extension of the land.

Surprisingly Familiar

A lot of people assume that building abroad is complicated. In reality, Baja Sur has a thriving bilingual community of experienced builders, award-winning architects and design firms, and project managers who specialize in working with international clients.

Whether you’re on the ground or working remotely, you can stay closely involved while leaning on pros who know the process inside and out.

Plus, depending on your lot and vision, build timelines are often faster than what you’d experience in North America — and at a significantly lower cost per square foot.

Low Carrying Costs = Long Term Flexibility

One of the biggest surprises for our clients? The cost of ownership here is incredibly low. Annual property taxes are a fraction of what you’d pay in the U.S. or Canada — often just a few hundred dollars a year. No, that’s not a typo.

Utilities are typically lower, too, especially if you take advantage of solar or energy-efficient design. You’re not dealing with heavy HOA fees or complex regulatory red tape, so your home can evolve and grow with you.

Whether you plan to live here full-time, rent it seasonally, or use it as a second home that pays for itself when you’re not around.

Live Beautifully, Invest Wisely

With Baja’s growing popularity, building now isn’t just a lifestyle decision — it’s a smart investment. Thoughtfully designed homes in the right location are seeing strong appreciation, high rental demand, and increasing interest from digital nomads, retirees, and eco-conscious travelers looking for unique stays.

When you are building and designing from scratch, you can create something that stands out. Not just another home, but a personal brand of luxury that’s authentic, sustainable, and totally your own.
