Barker Development engineers ultra-luxury custom mansions along the most breathtaking coastlines of Baja California Sur — built to the exacting standards of North America's most discerning buyers.
Why Invest in Cabo
Los Cabos has quietly become the most sought-after luxury real estate market in Latin America. With constrained land supply, 340 days of annual sunshine, and direct flights from 40+ North American cities, demand continues to outpace supply — driving exceptional long-term appreciation for well-positioned properties.
US and Canadian buyers enjoy full ownership rights through the federally-backed fideicomiso trust structure, with the same legal protections afforded to Mexican nationals.

Client Stories
We had looked at properties in Scottsdale, Hawaii, and the Amalfi Coast. Nothing compared to what Barker Development delivered in San Jose del Cabo. The process was completely seamless — they handled every legal detail with our fideicomiso, and the finished estate exceeded every expectation.
As a Canadian investor, I was hesitant about buying in Mexico. Barker's team walked me through every step of the trust structure and made me feel completely protected. Three years later, the Barker Reserve property has appreciated over 60% and generates strong rental income every winter season.
I've built homes in Malibu, the Hamptons, and now Cabo. The construction quality and attention to detail from Barker's team is at absolute par with the best builders in the United States — but at a fraction of the cost per square foot. The La Paz property is simply stunning.

FAQ
Buying property in Mexico raises many questions. Here are the answers our clients ask most — and why the process is far simpler than most North Americans expect.
More answers in our blog →Yes — absolutely. US and Canadian citizens can own property in Mexico's coastal and border zones through a federally-regulated bank trust called a fideicomiso. This structure grants you all rights of ownership: you can sell, rent, renovate, or inherit the property. It has been the legal standard for foreign real estate ownership in Mexico since 1993 and is fully protected under Mexican federal law.
A fideicomiso is a bank trust in which a Mexican bank holds the property title as trustee — while you are the named beneficiary with full ownership rights. You control the property entirely: you can sell it, rent it, pass it to heirs, or make improvements. The trust carries an annual fee of approximately $500–$1,000 USD and is renewable every 50 years. Barker Development's legal team handles all trust setup and renewal for our clients.
Our builds start at $1.5M USD and range up to $8M+ for flagship estates. The price includes land acquisition, architectural design, construction, and standard finishes. Custom interior packages and furnishing programs are available as add-ons. Build timelines range from 18 to 36 months. Every project is scoped individually — we match your vision and budget precisely.
We develop exclusively in Baja California Sur, across four markets: Cabo San Lucas (Pacific-facing and marina estates), San Jose del Cabo (cliffside and golf-course communities), La Paz (Sea of Cortez beachfront), and Loreto (remote ultra-private retreats with national park access). Each location offers a distinct lifestyle and investment profile — we'll help you choose the right fit during your consultation.
Los Cabos luxury real estate has appreciated an average of 15–22% annually since 2020. Properties built by Barker Development have outperformed market averages due to superior lot selection and build quality. For investors who choose to rent, luxury villas in Los Cabos achieve 8–14% annual rental yields during the October–April peak season, driven by strong demand from US and Canadian vacation renters.
Most clients complete the legal and design process remotely, with one optional site visit. We handle lot acquisition, notario appointments, fideicomiso setup, architect coordination, and construction management entirely on your behalf. If you want to visit — which we encourage — Los Cabos is served by direct flights from 40+ North American cities, including non-stops from LAX, Dallas, Dallas, Chicago, Houston, Denver, and Toronto.
