Casa Alta Clara, East Cape, ­ ­

Property Description

Casa Alta Clara is a newly completed contemporary home for sale in Las Brisas, Los Barriles, in the East Cape of Baja California Sur, offering 4 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, and 2 half baths across approximately 4,035 sq ft of construction on a 0.38-acre lot. Finished in 2025 and listed at $1,250,000 USD (MLS# 25-5758), the two-level residence was designed around uninterrupted views of the Sea of Cortez and the Sierra, combining an elevated hillside setting with a private pool, an independent casita, a solar power system, and turnkey furnishings ready for immediate move-in. Casa Alta Clara was designed so the landscape becomes part of daily life rather than a backdrop to it. From the bedrooms to the main living areas, the pool terrace, the rooftop, and even the independent casita, the home maintains a consistent visual connection to both the Sea of Cortez and the surrounding Sierra. Its elevated position within Las Brisas gives the property an open, expansive quality, with ocean and mountain views shaping the experience of the home from early morning through sunset. Rather than concentrating the views in a single showcase room, the layout was planned to distribute them across nearly every space in the house.Los Barriles is one of the East Cape's most established coastal communities, recognized for its relaxed pace, strong outdoor lifestyle, and direct relationship with the Sea of Cortez. Life here moves around fishing, boating, kiteboarding, mountain trail riding, desert landscapes, and a slower Baja rhythm that has drawn full-time residents and second-home buyers for years. Casa Alta Clara places that lifestyle within a contemporary hillside residence that stays close enough to town for everyday convenience while preserving a genuine sense of privacy and space -- a balance that has become increasingly sought after among buyers looking at East Cape real estate as an alternative to the busier Los Cabos corridor.Set within the Las Brisas neighborhood, Casa Alta Clara benefits from an elevated residential position with wide-open views and a quiet atmosphere. The area appeals particularly to buyers seeking a full-time residence, a retirement home, or a second home in a community that feels established, practical, and closely connected to the natural character of the East Cape. Las Brisas sits apart from the density of some coastal developments, offering a residential feel without losing proximity to Los Barriles' services and amenities.The main residence is distributed across two levels, with a layout designed to separate private accommodations from the principal living and entertaining spaces. With approximately 375 square meters of total construction, Casa Alta Clara provides the scale and flexibility needed for everyday living, hosting guests, or extended stays in Baja California Sur.The lower level includes a primary bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, a second guest bedroom, an additional full bathroom, a functional kitchen, a laundry area with washer and dryer, and direct access from a double garage. This level works well for guest accommodations, multigenerational living, or day-to-day convenience, offering privacy and comfort without depending entirely on the upper floor.The upper level serves as the heart of the home. A spacious open-concept living and dining area extends over 11 meters in length, creating a generous interior volume for gathering, dining, and relaxing. Large windows and sliding doors connect the interior directly to the outdoor terraces, allowing the home to be lived naturally between inside and outside spaces.The main kitchen features modern appliances, granite countertops, and contemporary cabinetry, with a layout built to support both daily use and entertaining. Positioned beside the open living and dining area, the kitchen stays connected to the home's social spaces while preserving direct access to the surrounding views -- a detail that matters for buyers comparing homes for sale in Los Barriles where indoor-outdoor flow is a defining feature of East Cape living.Casa Alta Clara includes multiple terraces that extend the living areas toward the landscape. One terrace faces northwest toward the Sierra mountains, while the primary ocean-facing terrace includes a private pool of approximately 12.5 square meters. From this outdoor space, the Sea of Cortez becomes the dominant backdrop for mornings, afternoons, and evenings at home -- the kind of setting that consistently draws interest from buyers asking what it's like to own a home with ocean views in Los Barriles.From the upper level, access leads to the rooftop, where the views expand across the Sea of Cortez, the surrounding hillsides, and the Sierra mountains. This elevated outdoor area adds another true living space to the home and gives it a genuine panoramic vantage point within Las Brisas, distinct from many properties in the area that offer only partial or single-direction views.Casa Alta Clara includes two primary bedroom suites, one on each level, designed with mirrored layouts for comfort and privacy. Each suite features an en-suite bathroom, a built-in closet, and an L-shaped wraparound balcony. This design allows both suites to enjoy direct ocean and mountain views while maintaining a clear sense of separation between them -- a practical feature for multigenerational households or owners who host guests for extended stays.All bedrooms in Casa Alta Clara were positioned to benefit from the home's elevated setting. Rather than reserving the views for the main living area alone, the design distributes ocean and mountain outlooks throughout the residence, giving each bedroom a meaningful connection to the East Cape landscape.Complementing the main residence is a fully independent casita of approximately 45 square meters, including its own bedroom, full bathroom, kitchen, and laundry area. The casita functions as a separate space entirely from the main house, well suited to guests, extended family, long-term visitors, staff accommodations, or a private studio -- with potential flexibility for rental use depending on the owner's needs and applicable local regulations.Casa Alta Clara includes a solar power system capable of supporting the home's operation during power outages, a feature that has become increasingly valued among East Cape homeowners given the region's occasional grid interruptions. The home also includes granite countertops, vitrified tile flooring, contemporary cabinetry, and inverter mini-split air-conditioning units placed throughout the residence for efficient, zoned climate control. Two separate double garages provide covered parking and storage across both levels of the property.The property is delivered fully equipped with new furnishings, appliances, televisions, and beds throughout, making it a practical option for buyers who want a home ready to use immediately rather than a property requiring furnishing after closing. This turnkey condition is particularly relevant for out-of-country buyers purchasing a second home or investment property in Mexico, where arranging furnishings remotely can otherwise add time and complexity to a purchase.Los Barriles continues to attract a specific type of buyer: those drawn to a genuine outdoor lifestyle rather than a resort-driven one. The town's identity is built around sportfishing, windsurfing and kiteboarding on the Sea of Cortez, and access to Sierra de la Laguna trails, giving residents a mix of ocean and mountain recreation within a compact, walkable community. Compared with the more built-up areas of Los Cabos, Los Barriles offers a quieter, more residential pace while still providing the infrastructure -- markets, restaurants, medical services, and a small but active expat community -- needed for comfortable full-time or seasonal living.Casa Alta Clara sits within this context as a new-construction option that combines the practical advantages of a modern build -- solar power, efficient climate systems, contemporary finishes -- with the lifestyle draws that bring buyers to the East Cape in the first place: unobstructed ocean and mountain views, generous outdoor space, and a hillside setting that keeps the surrounding landscape visible from nearly every part of the home. For buyers evaluating homes for sale in Los Barriles or East Cape real estate more broadly, the combination of new construction, panoramic views, an independent casita, and full furnishings represents a distinct value proposition within the current Baja California Sur market.
