If you like to vacation in Cabo San Lucas, you may be interested in buying a beautiful luxury home in nearby Palmilla to serve as a second home — or even your primary residence. Palmilla is located on a quiet, scenic stretch of coastline about a 25-minute drive from the hustle and bustle of Cabo. As well as beach hotels and golf courses, it has many spectacular beach homes, golf homes, and other residences, including villas and luxury apartments.
There’s plenty to do in Palmilla, including sunbathing on the beach and swimming in the Sea of Cortez, playing golf on a beautiful course, or going mountain biking or horseback riding in the surrounding hills.
If you’re interested in buying Palmilla Cabo homes for sale, hire a real estate agent who has several years of experience in the market helping people buy these luxury homes. Look for someone with an excellent track record of success finding homes for Americans who want to purchase either a vacation home or a primary residence.
Americans can buy real estate in Mexico, but since homes for sale in Palmilla Cabo are within a restricted zone, they can’t hold the property in their name. Instead, they must have the property in a trust known as a fideicomiso. One good thing about a fideicomiso is that it can be easily transferred to a buyer if you sell the property. Make sure to work with a knowledgeable agent during this process. If you’re curious about the local market in Palmilla, here are a few homes recently listed for sale.
