The wonders of Cabo San Lucas are well-known to discerning travelers. From its abundant natural beauty and near-perfect weather to its rich history and compelling mystique, Los Cabos is a coveted place where people want to be. The question, however, is how can it be experienced at its best? How do you find the right mix of beauty, recreation and amenities without compromising serenity and authenticity? For starters, living on beautiful land is critical to a quintessential Cabo experience, and in that regard, Old Lighthouse Club—an exclusive neighborhood within the celebrated destination resort of Quivira—is unique. However, its stunning setting is only the beginning.
History
Baja California was the last territory to become a Mexican state, and the determination and pride of its people are aptly reflected by El Faro Viejo—The Old Lighthouse. Created by Joaquín Gómez Palacios of Spain, The Old Lighthouse has weathered trends, endured storms and safely guided travelers home since 1906, remaining durable and true all the while. Quietly overlooking the blue ocean waters it for so long illuminated, it's now inside the gates of Old Lighthouse Club, providing residents a fascinating bond to this storied past; and that rich past is currently enjoying an epic present.
Quivira & Old Lighthouse Club
As noted above, of Old Lighthouse Club is a community inside a community—an enclave of Quivira Los Cabos. Moreover, to fully appreciate the former, you must understand the latter.
Quivira is a well-established residential resort community with some of the area's most exceptional luxury amenities. First, a Jack Nicklaus Signature-designed golf experience—a Golf Digest Top 100 golf course—is one of Quivira's hallmarks. But this is far more than just a golf-course community. It has three miles of private beaches and a network of nature trails that make it easy to soak in the natural wonders of the Baja.
Quivira owners and guests enjoy spending time at The Market, a premier dining and entertainment experience inspired by the great food halls of Europe. With a 50's-style diner, an ice cream shop, a chocolate shop, a crêperie and a wellness bar, this best-in-class urban marketplace is a food lover's dream. As if this weren't enough, The Market also boasts The After, a sophisticated mecca for sports lovers, where they can enjoy games and matches year-round in a high energy setting that's second-to-none. The After features signature craft cocktails, more than a hundred distilled liquors, and 20 artisanal beers from around the world. And finally, Quivira is home to Pueblo Bonito Pacifica Hotel & Resort, which offers everything from outdoor pools, spas and fitness centers to dining, bars, and three miles of private beachfront.
Tucked inside Quivira is the Old Lighthouse Club, whose residents will be free to enjoy everything Quivira has to offer, before retreating to the privacy of their own gated neighborhood. Situated on what is easily the most dramatic piece of property in Los Cabos, the land features high cliffs and massive dunes that create sweeping views too remarkable to describe. Complementing these breathtaking vistas are the flora and fauna Mexico is known for, which leads to spectacular, pristine beaches—all of which creates an extraordinary natural beauty.
In addition to unmatched Cabo living along the ocean, Old Lighthouse Club will feature a trio of private amenities for owners that include a cliffside restaurant and bar, a toes-in-the-sand beach club and a family recreational facility.
Credibility
While its history, location and amenities set it apart, there's another factor that makes Quivira and Old Lighthouse Club distinct—its credibility. Credibility is the currency of relationships, and the weight of that axiom comes fully to bear with Quivira and The Old Lighthouse Club's developer, Ernesto Coppel. His reputation, built over the long haul, not only with vision and innovation but with the wisdom to make them last. While Coppel has invested more personal capital in Cabo San Lucas than any other single developer, changing its perception has been more than a race to luxury and opulence.
As his partner, Jose Luis Mogollon noted, "From day one, Ernesto has listened to what people want…a memorable, safe and beautiful home where they have the margin to retreat from their busy lives and invest in the ones they love. So, while he's never sacrificed things like location, luxury and exclusive amenities, he made them the means instead of the end. He's now proud to unveil Lighthouse Club, which I have no doubt will soon be the crown jewel of Cabo as well."
To make sure that's the case, Coppel has partnered with esteemed private club developer, Lyle Anderson, the visionary behind such vaunted communities like the Valley’s own Desert Mountain and Desert Highlands, Hokulia, Las Campanas and several others, and with North America's most reputable luxury sales firm, IMI Worldwide Properties. These names are on communities like Superstition Mountain, Pueblo Bonito and Desert Highlands, and places like these don't become iconic by accident. They're the result of well-capitalized and wise development on rare properties in unique locations with world-class amenities. Moreover, those combinations attract legacy buyers that only enrich these communities.
As Coppel noted, "The families that let their ‘why’ win the day understand that places like Old Lighthouse Club will become a chapter in their legacy because it's a one-of-a-kind of community that will stand the test of time...and those are the families we're so honored to serve."
To launch this offering, Old Lighthouse Club is planning a founder's program with only 13 exclusive homesites situated some 300 feet above sea level. Lot prices start at $2 million and offer some of the best ocean and golf views in Los Cabos. So, if you're searching for an authentic Cabo property in a one-of-a-kind private luxury community, Old Lighthouse Club is more than a worthwhile consideration.
