Casa Ballena is a versatile retreat in Puerto Adolfo López Mateos, set on a fully walled and gated 693.15 m² corner lot approximately 30 meters from the lagoon and 500 feet from the local boat launch. The property includes a furnished, move-in-ready casita of approximately 600 sq ft with one bedroom, one bathroom, brick and masonry construction, tile flooring, mini-split air conditioning, washer and dryer, and sea-inspired, hand-carved solid wood doors and closets. A second residence, designed at approximately 1,200 sq ft, is ready for the next owner to complete: block walls, poured concrete flooring, steel-trussed roof, kitchen plumbing, electrical service, lights, ceiling fans and outlets are already in place, and signed and stamped architectural plans are included. Additional features include posts in place for a future garage or carport, ample room for boats and outdoor gear, and city water, sewer and CFE electricity. The property has clear, non-ejido title, and a fideicomiso may be established for a foreign buyer. López Mateos is a safe, tranquil fishing community surrounded by protected lagoon waters, mangroves, dunes and the open Pacific, offering access to both inshore and offshore sport fishing as well as seasonal gray whale watching. Its Pacific location brings cooling ocean breezes, making it especially appealing as a summer retreat, while Loreto International Airport is approximately 2.5 hours away. Casa Ballena provides comfortable accommodations that can be enjoyed immediately, together with the space and infrastructure to create a larger private coastal compound over time.
