       RV-Ready, Gated Lot With Installed Services

Full-size Class C RV parked inside the gated lot

With clearance along the wall for easy access to RV hookups.

We’ve been so grateful for the continued interest in our gated lot in Lo de Marcos. With questions coming in, we thought it would be helpful to answer a few more of the most common ones we’ve been hearing lately. If you’ve been following along, you know this property has a lot going for it—and clearly, others think so too.

❓ Question 1

 How many square meters is your lot?

Our improved lot with all services in Lo de Marcos, Nayarit, is 200 square meters.

The dimensions are 20 meters by 10 meters, making it an easy, practical size for designing a comfortable home with outdoor space without feeling overwhelming to maintain.

Because of its rectangular shape and level layout, the lot lends itself well to a variety of home designs, whether someone is envisioning a single-level home, a two-story build, or RV living.

The gated entrance is approximately 3 to 3½ meters wide (around 11 feet), allowing comfortable access for vehicles, construction equipment, and RVs. The gate swings in and out for flexibility.

The gate swings in and out for flexibility (RV not included).

❓ Question 2

Are there services?

Yes—our improved lot has services already in place, which is one of its biggest advantages.

Electricity:

CFE electrical service is already installed on the lot

With a dedicated meter and panel.

• Electricity is installed with a CFE meter
• 100-amp electric service with a 50-amp branch panel, suitable for residential use and RV needs

Water source:

The lot’s private well system.

The 6-inch pipe in front of the storage container is the well casing.

It has a 1.5-inch water line and hose connection for easy access.

·       A high-producing well that is 24 meters (79 feet) deep

·       Water level is typically 6–8 meters (20–26 feet) from the surface

·       Pump level is set at 21 meters (69 feet) for reliable performance

Water storage:

5,000-liter underground cistern installed on concrete slab

·       5,000-liter circular polyethylene underground cistern

·       Set on a concrete slab and surrounded by an 8-inch-wide, 6-foot-tall circular concrete block wall

·       Capped with a 4-inch concrete slab with an access opening

Water Storage Cistern Access Opening

Sewer:

·       A biodigester septic system sized for up to five people

Biodigester Septic System Sized for Up To 5 People

Having these services already installed saves significant time, cost, and uncertainty—whether someone plans to build a home or use the lot for RV living. The infrastructure was thoughtfully completed by a U.S. custom home builder, ensuring it was done carefully and to a high standard.

❓ Question 3  

Does it have RV hookups already installed?

RV hookups installed on the lot, including 30-amp electrical service, sewer connection, and water access—ready for RV living in Lo de Marcos, Mexico.

Yes. This Lo de Marcos lot is already equipped with RV-ready hookups, making it ideal for immediate RV use or future home construction.

Installed services include a 30-amp electrical outlet, a 4-inch sewer connection, and a dedicated water connection, all professionally set up and clearly accessible on the property.

These existing RV hookups allow an owner to park and live comfortably in an RV while planning or building a home, or to use the lot seasonally without the delays and costs of installing utilities from scratch. RV-ready infrastructure like this is increasingly rare in the Lo de Marcos area and adds both convenience and long-term value to the property.

❓ Question 4

Is this lot suitable for building a home in the future?

Yes. One of the strengths of this gated lot in Lo de Marcos, Mexico is its flexibility. While it is already usable for RV living, the lot was also prepared with future home construction in mind.

The lot’s 200-square-meter (20 x 10 meter) size, level layout, installed services, and gated access make it well-suited for designing and building a comfortable home when the time is right. Existing infrastructure—including electricity, water, sewer, and drainage—can significantly simplify the building process and reduce upfront costs and delays.

Using the lot for RV living now does not limit future options. A buyer can enjoy the property immediately while planning, designing, or budgeting for a home build later, making this a practical choice for both short-term use and long-term investment.

Why We’re Ready to Pass This On

We’re offering this lot because our long-term plans have shifted—not because of any issue with the property or the area. Jon took the time to do things right here, from the infrastructure to the layout, knowing how important reliability and peace of mind are when building or living in Mexico. We hope this lot becomes the foundation for someone else’s next chapter.

A Beach Town on the Cusp of Discovery 🌊

Sunset walks are part of everyday life in Lo de Marcos.

Lo de Marcos is the kind of beach town people dream about—quiet, friendly, and still wonderfully authentic. Since listing our lot, we’ve been asked many thoughtful questions by people imagining their own future here. Below, I’m answering the three questions we hear most often, to help you decide whether this little corner of Riviera Nayarit might be right for you.

❓ Question 1

How close is the lot to the beach and town?

This is always the first question—and for good reason. One of the joys of Lo de Marcos is being able to walk into town or down to the beach, enjoying daily life without needing a car.

Lo de Marcos is a compact beach town, which means the ocean is always close. From our improved property, it’s a pleasant 17-minute walk to the Tomatina beachfront restaurant, or an easy 5-minute golf cart ride, the preferred way locals get around.

An easy walk or quick golf cart ride from Calle Pino to the beach at Tomatina.

❓ Question 2

Is the lot easy to access, and how close is the highway?

Buyers want convenience without constant noise. This lot offers straightforward access from the highway while still feeling tucked away and peaceful once you’re there.

Set back from the highway, the property feels quiet and private once inside the walls.

❓ Question 3

Does the property have a clear title (escritura)?

Purchasing property in Mexico comes with important legal considerations. We have an attorney working to provide an escritura, giving buyers confidence and peace of mind from the start.

We expect the price to increase when the title is received (in 6 to 12 months). The lot can be built on, used for an RV, or otherwise improved in the meantime.

Limited Time Offer: Lo de Marcos Gated Lot!

Price reduced to 1,850,000 MXN (was 2,000,000) when paying in pesos!

• Secure & walled

• Ready for your dream home or RV

Want to walk or drive by to take a look?

Here's a walking map using Casa Chiva as the starting point for reference. Maps are confusing because Calle Pino is in several places, including these two parallel streets.

Our Gated Lot is On the Desireable Town Side of the Highway

𝗜𝘀 𝗟𝗼 𝗱𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗼𝘀 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗡𝗮𝗺𝗲?🌊 Discover Our Improved Property for Sale in This Peaceful Beach Town🌴

In the Heart of the Riviera Nayarit

Playa Lo de Marcos, Waiting for Sunset

Are you dreaming of life in a tranquil, authentic Mexican beach town? If so, you may fall in love with Lo de Marcos—just as we did. And now, our improved property in this charming Riviera Nayarit community is officially for sale!

Lo de Marcos Plaza with Arch, Garden, and Gazebo

Lo de Marcos is a small, welcoming town known for its pristine beaches and relaxed pace of life. Tucked between palm-covered hills and the Pacific Ocean, it offers an authentic taste of Mexico—far from the crowds of the bigger tourist destinations.

Lo De Marcos Plaza is One of the Prettiest I've Seen!

Jon and Sophie Resting in the Plaza Garden

Here’s an AI-generated description I felt captured it beautifully:

Why Lo de Marcos Stands Out

• Authentic Vibe: A traditional Mexican town with colorful buildings, a central plaza, and a warm local community.
• Peaceful & Uncrowded: Home to stunning beaches—Los Venados, Las Minitas, and El Atracadero—perfect for swimming, surfing, and soaking in sunsets.
• Walkable: Easy to explore on foot; golf carts and bikes are popular for getting around.
• Local Amenities: Filled with eateries, organic markets, artisans, and charming accommodations.
• Ideal Location: Situated in the Riviera Nayarit, just north of San Pancho and south of Guayabitos, within easy reach of Puerto Vallarta.

Transportation Includes Golf Carts, Horses, and Motos

Main Street Ends at an Arched Beach Access

From the Heart of the Town to the Beach

The downtown plaza is the true gathering spot—complete with a central gazebo, a colorful decorative arch, and beautifully maintained gardens. It’s surrounded by restaurants, shops, and small hotels, offering the perfect blend of local charm and convenience.

Just a short stroll from the plaza, the beachfront comes alive with open-air restaurants where you can enjoy fresh seafood, cold drinks, and incredible ocean views. Several beachfront restaurants line the shore, offering fresh seafood, cold drinks, and the simple pleasure of eating with your toes in the sand. It’s the kind of place where you can linger for hours, watching the waves and enjoying an easygoing coastal meal.

Olivia's Restaurant on the Beach is One of Our Favorites

Olivia's Coconut Shrimp is My Favorite Dish

The Riviera Nayarit tourism website describes Lo de Marcos as “a true Mexican town… with many fine sandy beaches ideal for swimming, surfing, snorkeling, and enjoying exceptional Pacific Ocean sunsets.” One quick Google search will reward you with a slideshow of incredible photos—palm trees, mountains, and uncrowded beaches that stretch peacefully along the shoreline.

One of the Uncrowded Beaches in Lo de Marcos

Some call Lo de Marcos paradise on earth. It’s a restful contrast to the livelier energy of Puerto Vallarta and Sayulita. You’ll find bungalows, villas, RV parks, small hotels, and an abundance of beachfront seafood restaurants—all served with a relaxed smile.

Lo de Marcos is located about 32 miles (52 km) from the Puerto Vallarta airport. Transportation options and additional visitor information can be found on the Riviera Nayarit website:

Happy Autumn from Puerto Vallarta 🌻 Reflections on Caring for Jon, Sophie, Max, and Myself

 My November Newsletter is Live!

Marigolds Planted for Dia de Los Muertos
By the Vallarta Garden Club on the Isla Cuale

𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘆 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗺𝗻 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗣𝘂𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗼 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗮!

It’s been a busy three months caring for Jon, Max, and Sophie—while also reminding myself how important it is to care for my own well-being. November was National Family Caregiver Month, but I’ve decided to make self-care an everyday practice.

I'm Volunteering for Weeding and Planting In the Puerto Vallarta Romantic Zone

Lately, that’s meant spending time gardening with the Vallarta Garden Club, enjoying Zumba with Efren on the Isla Cuale, getting a massage every two weeks, and taking long walks through the Romantic Zone. Part of my self-care also includes gently easing Jon into life here in Puerto Vallarta, which helps bring me a lot of peace of mind.

In late October, I helped Jon move the motorhome from Lo de Marcos to an RV park in Puerto Vallarta. Shortly after, I found him a perfect studio apartment in Colonia 5 de Diciembre and moved him in right away. We also sold the Minnie Winnie just a few days ago—what a relief for both of us! The new owners are already out enjoying road trips with her.

Day 61: Puerto Vallarta View From Barcelona Tapas

My Birthday Dinner in July, Early Rainy Season

It’s hard to believe I’m already sharing Part 7 of my #100DaysOfBlue journey. What better place to experience Days 61 through 70 than in beautiful Puerto Vallarta?

Blue💙 Blue Water🌊 Blue Mind🤗Calm, Tranquility, Positive State of Mind🙏🏽

Day 62: A Memory of July 11, 2024, Over a Year Ago

"Today is a good day. This week has been a rollercoaster. Watching the sunset over the ocean is so calming. Viewing the deep blue color of the sea during a two-hour seafood dinner with my best friend promotes a blue mind condition. Life is good.💙"

This photo holds more than just a view. It holds a memory, a feeling, and a breath of peace during a chaotic time. Over a year ago, I shared these words without realizing how often I’d come back to them. The blue water became more than a visual comfort. It was a space where I could let go, even for a moment, of the stress and emotional weight of caregiving.

My husband’s early Parkinson’s dementia was beginning to change our lives in ways that were hard to explain. The ocean felt steady when nothing else did. It was deep, calming, and quietly powerful.

This journey through #100DaysOfBlue isn’t just about beauty. It’s about reflection, healing, and honoring both the peaceful and the difficult moments. 💙

Day 63: Puerto Vallarta's Playa Los Muertos

It was supposed to storm again that afternoon, so I took the dogs for a walk down the Malecón earlier in the day. Brunch instead of dinner felt like the right call.

Most of the restaurants were either too busy or hadn’t opened yet. We circled back to Daiquiri Dick’s, and I’m glad we did. Huevos rancheros and fresh orange juice with a view of the ocean were exactly what I needed. 💙

Daiquiri Dick’s Huevos Rancheros are Delicious!

Day 64: Dancing on the Beach Video

Watching the Fun Next to the Ocean Waves

I was sitting at a beachside restaurant bar with Max and Sophie, taking in the ocean view. A glass of Cabernet Sauvignon deepened my Blue Mind calm. When a group started dancing on the sand beside the rolling waves, it brought an easy smile to my face.

Day 65: Pool Day Video

Blue Pool Jet on My Feet was Relaxing

Blue Mind at the Beautiful Residences Sky Bar

Day 67 of Blue Water: Santorini Puzzle Time

Working on My Santorini Puzzle was Relaxing—

Especially with a Blue Water Video on the Screen

You may remember that on Day 43 of my 100 Days of Blue Water, I was in Santorini, Greece. (See more in Days 41–50 of 100 Days of Blue Water, Part 5: The Mediterranean to the Gulf of Mexico 💦). The deep blue sea view from the Santorini cable car was unforgettable. The only souvenir I brought home from that Virgin Voyage was a Santorini jigsaw puzzle—a perfect reminder of the many Blue Water days I experienced on that trip.

That’s the True Blue!

Day 68 of Blue in the Marina Vallarta

Lunch and View at El Faro Marina Vallarta Restaurant

After a gathering at the Living Room Bookstore on August 1, I had lunch at El Faro in Marina Vallarta, a high-end international restaurant located inside a lighthouse. From the panoramic 360-degree views, I could see all at once what makes Puerto Vallarta so stunning—this is truly the place where the sea meets the mountains.

Gorgeous Blue Water View of the Bay of Banderas

Day 70 of Blue Water

A Quiet Day on Los Muertos Beach, Puerto Vallarta

I walked with the dogs along the beach and stopped for fish and chips for dinner at the Sea Monkey on the Puerto Vallarta Malecón. I forgot to take a photo! Let's just say, there were no leftovers for lunch tomorrow.

Our First Day on the Beach—

Since Max's eye surgery 2 Months Before 

That day was Max’s first time on the beach since his eye surgery before I adopted him. I didn’t want him getting sand in the healing eye, so until then, we’d enjoyed the ocean views from a distance. His eye actually looked pretty good at the time. But four months—and a lot of treatment and love later, he was blind in that eye. The inflammation kept worsening, and his vet eventually recommended removing it. He’s now healing well. The stitches are out, he’s no longer uncomfortable, and once his shaved eyebrow grows back, he’ll be as handsome as ever.

The Sea Turns Gray on August Afternoons

As It Reflects the Gathering Clouds

The fishermen, white egret, and pelicans were sure the fish were in close. The pelicans were the only ones I saw catch anything.

What a mellow scene.

Blue Mind is the mildly meditative state people fall into when they are near, in, under, or on water. It is peace. It is the feeling of calmness and relaxation that comes from being in or near the water, and it has a positive impact on our mental health.

100 Days of Blue is a campaign inspired by marine biologist Dr. Wallace J. Nichols, encouraging people to spend time near, in, on, or under water for its positive impact on well-being. To carry on his legacy, many people are posting one blue water photo or video a day for 100 days, often with the hashtag #100daysofblue.
