I read the report of new road to this entry point in Feb pony. I left
BV Friday am, stayed in Guerrero Negro and left Sat am at 5.30.I reached
the border area about 2.10 and crossed thru ICE at 3.15 Agent asked
how long was my wait I said about an hour. He said it is better on
weekdays. A small change to direction you must exit the toll road at
Puerto Nuevo 5 miles before the access to new 4 lane expway just north
of Calafia The SCT has closed 3 exits and on ramps before the 2nd
toll crossing due to new toll road alignment. The new 4 lane is shown
on AAA Baja map 2007 and later. once you cross the border you are 6
miles from Interstate 805. Noel Coghlan

I would like to invite you, your friends and guests to our open houses in El Cardonal this Thursday (5/13) from 1pm to 3pm.
We will have two homes open for viewing.

Casa Villa Arcadia $647,000
Newly built home comes completely furnished and turn key. The home features four bedrooms and five baths, a finished garage and a great room that looks out over the pool to the Sea of Cortez. Extra high ceilings and gorgeous views add to the airy feeling of this 2,450 square foot home. The 1,900 square meter lot is situated so that it has a beachfront view without the beachfront price. Easy access just off the paved road to El Cardonál.

Casa Cardonal ~ $129,000
This two bedroom one bath, 1,138 square foot home has a great view from the back deck and roof. It’s only minutes from the beach and has additional power and septic on the lower part of the lot for an RV or other home.

Directions: Continue through Los Barriles and go north across the two arroyos, stay on the paved road until you come to the end of the road in El Cardonal. Turn left and go about 1/8 of a mile. Turn right following the open house signs. The home is a yellow two story on the right. We'll have directions to the second home there. Snacks and cold beverages will be provided.



b. Excellent Sea of Cortez view lots for sale. See and hear the whales breathing! See and hear the rays jumping! See and hear the Sea Lions barking! And more! Greatly reduced...again! Hurry! View LosBarrileRealEstate.net  for descriptions, photos, maps, contact info.
