La Ventana and El Sargento are two connected towns tucked along the Bay of La Ventana — about 40 minutes east of La Paz. Known for their strong seasonal winds, swimmable beaches, and deeply rooted outdoor culture, this area has quietly become one of Baja’s most desirable off-resort destinations.
The draw here is simple: natural beauty, a slower pace, and a lifestyle built around kiteboarding, paddleboarding, yoga, mountain biking, and community. Buyers are increasingly drawn to the area for its investment potential, space to build, and a shared love for Baja that defines the people who call it home.
La Ventana Beach Zone
Closest to the kite schools and main launch area. Great for vacation homes and rentals with walkable access to restaurants and the water.
El Sargento Hills
Up the hill from the main road. Offers panoramic views, privacy, and space to build off-grid luxury homes. Many properties feature solar setups and modern design.
El Teso / South End
A growing area for custom homes and boutique developments. Walkable to the water, with mountain and ocean views.
Main Strip North (El Sargento)
Shops, restaurants, and service hubs line this stretch. Locals and expats live side-by-side with casual access to beach activities.
Ridge Homes / North Bluffs
Hillside properties with long views and room to spread out. Often chosen by owners building design-forward desert homes or boutique projects.
This is a market defined by intention. Buyers here are often kiteboarders, digital nomads, remote entrepreneurs, or creatives looking for peace, adventure, and connection. Some build custom homes on oceanview lots. Others invest in boutique retreats or off-grid compounds. Regardless of their vision, most share a desire to live closer to nature — and to find a version of Baja that still feels untouched.
What’s the difference between La Ventana and El Sargento?
La Ventana is slightly more developed and closer to the main kiteboarding beach. El Sargento has more elevation, larger lots, and more space to build. They’re connected and feel like one community.
Is this a good place to live full-time?
Yes. Many residents live here year-round. The community is active, self-sufficient, and very welcoming. Internet, groceries, and basic services are reliable.
Can I build an off-grid home here?
Absolutely. Off-grid building is common — with solar power, Starlink internet, and water delivery. Several experienced local builders focus on eco-conscious design.
What’s the best time of year for kiteboarding?
The wind season runs from November to March, with peak conditions in January and February.
Are there reliable internet and power services?
Yes. City power is available in many areas, but solar setups are still common. Starlink offers high-speed internet and has become the go-to solution for remote workers and streamers.
Can foreigners buy real estate here?
Yes. As with other coastal areas in Mexico, foreigners purchase through a fideicomiso (bank trust), which offers full legal ownership.
