A rare private oceanfront residence on Rosarito's northern Baja coast, nestled between Marena Cove and the sought-after Palacio del Mar community.

Fully rebuilt and remodeled in 2026 — the original structure was reconstructed with all-new systems, fixtures, finishes, and modern conveniences while preserving the character and setting of an established Baja coastal home.

The Baja Coastal Lifestyle

There is a particular rhythm to life along the northern Baja coast: mild coastal weather, Pacific breezes, long afternoons outdoors, fresh seafood, nearby wine country, and the feeling of being away from the pace of Southern California while remaining remarkably close to it. Located approximately 45 minutes south of San Diego, this private oceanfront residence places you directly on the Pacific in Descanso Bay, one of the established coastal residential areas along the Rosarito–Ensenada corridor.

Here, the climate is one of the property's greatest luxuries. Cool Pacific air moderates the coast throughout the year, creating a comfortable environment for outdoor living. Mornings can begin with coffee overlooking the water, afternoons can be spent on the beach or exploring Baja's food and wine country, and evenings naturally extend onto the oceanfront terrace for sunsets, dinner, the fire pit, or a soak in the private jacuzzi. The setting also gives you something difficult to replicate in Southern California: a private oceanfront home with generous land, outdoor living space, and a relaxed Mediterranean-inspired Baja atmosphere — without being hours away from San Diego.

Oceanfront Living

Wake up to the Pacific every morning. The residence is approximately 2,900 sqft of single-story beachfront living, with the main living area opening completely onto a large oceanfront deck. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the horizon and allow natural light and ocean air to move through the open-concept living space. Below the deck, waves break against the rocks — creating a natural soundtrack for evenings around the built-in fire pit or private jacuzzi after a morning surf session. The approximately 6,427 sqft (597 sqm) beachfront lot is secured behind a custom-made electric gate, providing privacy and peace of mind while maintaining the property's connection to the ocean.

A Private Casita for Guests & Family

A separate 400 sqft detached casita, with its own bedroom and bathroom, sits within a landscaped courtyard with ocean views of its own. There are no shared walls. The casita provides exceptional flexibility for visiting family, guests, a private retreat, or simply additional separation within a vacation or retirement residence. For buyers coming from the United States, it also creates the feeling of having a true private guest suite rather than the limitations of a conventional beach condo.

Mediterranean-Inspired Baja Character

Inside the main residence, craftsmanship and materials create a warm Mediterranean-inspired coastal atmosphere rather than the feel of a typical modern development. The chef's kitchen features a 48-inch commercial stove, travertine countertops, and custom cabinetry, complemented by real stone and brick archway details throughout the home. The property was uniquely built by an American builder using American-grade materials selected for durability and long-term performance, including:

Porcelain tile flooring, Dual-glaze windows, Spanish tile roof, Custom stamped-concrete decks, Kohler plumbing fixtures, Custom interior and entry doors, Mini-split A/C, All-LED lighting.

The result is a home designed not simply to look beautiful, but to function comfortably as a full-time residence, retirement property, or luxury coastal retreat.

Your Own Private Corner of Baja

One of the advantages of this location is that you are not isolated from the things that make Baja attractive. You can have a quiet morning at home overlooking the Pacific, drive a few minutes for lunch, spend an afternoon exploring Rosarito, play golf at Bajamar, or continue south into the vineyards and restaurants of Valle de Guadalupe.

Dining is minutes away, including Splash, Los Portales de Garcia, Los Amores de Julia, and Encanto, while Medcousine and the artisanal food scene along Boulevard Artesanal are also nearby. La Fonda's coastal restaurant area is approximately 10 minutes north. Golfers are approximately 20 minutes from Bajamar Golf Resort, while downtown Rosarito is approximately 20 minutes north for shopping, services, restaurants, and everyday conveniences.

And for those who enjoy Baja's wine and culinary culture, Valle de Guadalupe is approximately 35 minutes away, placing renowned wineries and restaurants such as L.A. Cetto, Monte Xanic, and Chateau Camou within an easy day trip. Continue south and you can reach Ensenada's harbor in approximately 45 minutes. This is the appeal of northern Baja: the ocean at your doorstep, wine country within reach, and San Diego close enough for the conveniences of Southern California.

Close to San Diego, Yet a World Away

For U.S. buyers, the location offers a particularly compelling combination. You can be approximately 45 minutes from the San Diego/Tijuana border, yet wake up every morning overlooking the Pacific from your own private oceanfront residence. That makes the property especially attractive as:

A luxury second home A weekend or vacation residence A retirement home A full-time Baja residence A private family retreat A long-term investment in the northern Baja lifestyle

Rather than being completely removed from the United States, you remain connected to San Diego while gaining access to a different pace of life, coastal climate, cuisine, wine country, and outdoor lifestyle.

Ownership & Transfer

The property is already held in fideicomiso, Mexico's bank-trust ownership structure for foreign buyers purchasing residential property within the restricted coastal zone, and transfer-ready for a new owner.
