Description
We are an off grid 15 acre ranch in the desert of El Pescadero, Baja Sur. We are located 20 minutes from the town of el Pescadero and 30 minutes from Cerritos beach or Todos Santos. With no public transportation available from the ranch to town, your own transportation would be an asset but not essential. There are busses in town to virtually anywhere in Baja.
We have been developing our off grid Permaculture Farm and Eco village since 2019. We are working on gardens, increasing wildlife habitat, trail networks, and eco friendly infrastructure. Husband and wife team, Dane and Sabrina have been living off grid since 2018 and are chasing a goal for self sufficient living in harmony with nature. The area is abundant in exploration either the Sierra de la Laguna Mountains or the beaches of El Pescadero. We offer an enriching experience to reconnect with nature while living off the grid and developing a permaculture skillset. -
