Los Zacatitos by Boutique Baja California

Summary:

Set on four acres of arid desert in Baja California Sur, this off-grid architectural compound by award-winning Campos Studio is a stunning experiment in passive design and minimalism. Comprising four private sleeping structures and a communal pavilion, the home is designed for immersive desert living, surrounded by granite boulders, indigenous flora, and distant mountain views. Perfect for those seeking stylish seclusion with easy access to beaches and Baja’s best culinary and surf spots.



The Space:

This striking desert residence consists of five separate structures:

• Sleeping spaces: One king bedroom, two queen bedrooms, and a six-bed bunk room for kids or groups (sleeps 12 total)

• Each sleeping volume includes a shaded breezeway and private courtyard planted with local flora

• The fifth structure: A shared open-air pavilion housing the kitchen, dining area, and lounge

The design is inspired by traditional Spanish courtyards and haciendas, using breezeways and passive cooling to create comfort in the desert heat. At the heart of the property lies a minimalist pool set against granite outcroppings and native desert scrub. A rooftop terrace offers unmatched sunset views with silhouettes of the Sierra de la Laguna mountains.



Guest Access:

Guests have full and private access to all five structures, including the bedrooms, communal kitchen/living space, rooftop terrace, private courtyards, and the pool. The property is entirely off-grid, designed with sustainability and comfort in mind.



The Neighborhood:

Located in the off-the-beaten-path enclave of Los Zacatitos, the home offers rugged desert tranquility within a short drive of pristine, empty beaches. Zac’s Bar & Grill and the Central Station convenience store provide local flavor and essentials.



Nearby, world-class surfing can be found at Shipwrecks, La Fortuna, and 9 Palms, all uncrowded and perfect for seasoned surfers. Michelin guide–recommended restaurants are just 10–30 minutes away in San José del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas, offering farm-to-table, Japanese, and fine Mexican cuisine.



Getting Around:

A rental car is essential for exploring the area. The property is accessed via dirt roads, and a 4WD vehicle is recommended for comfort and ease. The nearest airport is San Jose del Cabo (SJD), approximately a 2-hour drive away.
