Calafia: A Landmark of Baja’s Captivating Lifestyle
The Calafia Tower III is part of the Calafia Resort & Villas, a beachfront development, located on the shores of ther Pacific Ocean in Baja California just minutes form the US border.
When it comes to friendly and relaxed Baja living, Calafia residents do it right! Calafia began more than 15 years ago along the sun-kissed shores of Northern Baja about 20 minutes south of the U.S. border. There’s a strong sense of community and belonging here, a tradition that is carried through each phase of development. This is a place where people tend to stay. As Calafia has grown, many early residents have moved from the first tower to the second and are now setting their sights on the third. And it’s not uncommon to see more than one generation of the same family owning residences in the different towers.
Complementing the hometown friendliness of Calafia’s well-established, guard-gated
environment are many of the amenities you would only expect to find in an elegant resort. So while you’ll definitely be on a first-name basis with your neighbors, you’ll also enjoy luxuries like the private beach nestled in a sheltering cove, the oceanfront pool, multiple spas, a sundeck, and a fitness center complete with steam room and sauna. Play all day on the beaches or perfect your stroke on the putting green before challenging the beautiful nearby Real del Mar and Bajamar golf courses. Calafia features a game room, gym and meeting/party room, promising fun times with your new friends.
At Calafia, you’ll discover resort living the way you’ve always dreamed it could be, with all the coastal pleasures at your fingertips, Baja’s romantic wine country of Valle de Guadalupe only 35 minutes away and Rosarito’s charming downtown within a five-minute drive. From cafés to cantinas to Continental fare, you’ll have access to plenty of dining variety. Feast on lobster or authentic Mexican specialties one night, sushi the next. You’ll also love browsing the shops and galleries. Experience local
theater and a wide range of live musical entertainment. Only 20 minutes farther down the coast, Ensenada invites you for more delightful dining, shopping and gallery-hopping, plus museum and mission tours.
Calafia’s advantageous location opens up a world of activities for outdoor lovers and adventurers alike. Get into snorkeling, surfing, whale watching, fishing, horseback riding, mountain hiking and more. All set against a scenic coastal backdrop.
Northern Baja is known for its many festivals, expos, concerts and other special events held throughout the year. You’ll find everything from volleyball tournaments and half marathons to fishing and cooking competitions to the popular Rosarito Ensenada 50 Mile Fun Bicycle Ride that takes place in spring and fall. Visitors come from far and wide for Baja’s month-long celebration of the wine harvest in August every year. Even movie-making is part of the local color, with the famed Fox Studios – where blockbusters such as “Titanic” were filmed – located near Calafia.
The newest Calafia tower will be perched high on the coastal cliffs, and residences will be enhanced by gorgeous seascapes or picturesque regional views. Floor-to-ceiling windows in every home will frame these breathtaking vistas, while bringing in plentiful natural light. The two- and three-bedroom, two-bath floorplans range from approximately 1,672 to 1,906 square feet, including a spacious private balcony for each home. Ideal for day-to-day living and gracious entertaining, each home’s expansive great-room design encompasses a living room, well-equipped kitchen and dining area.
With its inviting lobby and convenient underground parking, Calafia’s premier Tower III will consist of only 100 luxurious residences. Attractive pricing start in the high 200,000’s.
Whether you’re looking for a retirement home or a vacation hideaway, owning a home in Mexico has become easier than ever through a bank trust or fideicomiso. Americans also enjoy the peace of mind of full title insurance. You can even “test drive” the Calafia lifestyle by taking advantage of one of the community’s vacation rentals. Tower condos and free-standing villas are available for a weekend or longer.
Best of all, this close-to-the-border location means you’ll never be far from family and friends in the States as well as your preferred medical providers and any other services you don’t wish to leave behind.
