Presenting Rancho La Pastora in Todos Santos, Nick Fong of Ronival Real Estate reveals quite a unique and remarkable oceanfront home. As he mentions in the video, many clients ask common questions about beachfront properties in Baja — like “what does oceanfront cost?” and “how do semi-oceanfront homes differ?”. To help answer, Nick drove up to Todos Santos to meet with his local agent, Dan Binetti. Together, they present the rare Rancho La Pastora, an iconic example of oceanfront living in Todos Santos. Keep reading to explore the details of this stunning Baja beach home.
Nick and Dan meet on the terrace of Rancho La Pastora
As Nick Fong and Dan Binetti meet, Dan shares his deep connection to the town, having lived in Todos Santos since 2004 and worked full-time in real estate for nearly two decades. He calls Rancho La Pastora “special” and “unique,” then begins pointing out all of its one-of-a-kind features. With high demand for luxury communities across Baja, like Pedregal homes for sale and Quivira homes for sale, this property in Todos Santos stands out as a truly rare find.
REVEALED: Rancho La Pastora
Purchased in 2008, this oceanfront estate has been meticulously remodeled and expanded. The owners spared no expense — from “Pebble Tec” in the pool to more than 7,000 square feet of travertine tile. The home features three spacious bedrooms and four-and-a-half bathrooms.
Originally built in 1974, Rancho La Pastora was the first home constructed in the area. Thanks to being “grandfathered in,” it sits closer to the ocean than current building restrictions allow. This makes the property especially desirable, as new construction today cannot match this proximity to the beach. Similar exclusivity is seen in prestigious Cabo communities like Palmilla Villas del Mar and Puerto Los Cabos homes.
Land and expansion opportunities
Rancho La Pastora spans nearly 10,000 square meters (about 2.5 acres) with roughly 100 meters (300 feet) of prime oceanfront. Dan notes this is exceptionally rare. With only 30% of the property currently developed, future expansion opportunities are endless — from guest casitas to wellness retreats or event spaces.
A professional chef’s kitchen
The current owner’s background in restaurants is reflected in the kitchen design. It includes a full bar area with an ice maker, sink, and oversized refrigerator, plus a cleverly placed freezer in the pantry. For those who love entertaining — whether family, friends, or vacation rental guests — this layout is ideal. Owners of luxury estates in Cabo Real and Querencia homes often prioritize similar chef-quality kitchens for gatherings and hospitality.
What is Todos Santos?
Founded in 1723 by Father Jaime Bravo, Todos Santos has seen centuries of history, from farming eras to periods of artistic and cultural growth. Today, it thrives with abundant farmland, tourism, and a vibrant arts community.
The town is a hub for music, art, and film festivals, and a destination for eco-tourism like birdwatching and turtle releases. For buyers seeking a slower pace of life, Todos Santos offers a unique alternative to Cabo San Lucas while still being close to the amenities of Los Cabos. Buyers exploring corridor-area communities such as Cabo del Sol homes often expand their search north to discover this bohemian gem.
