Casa Osborn is the "fixer-upper" in the Southern part of San Jose del Cabo, right on the "Golden Corridor", meaning Mucho Traffico. It has great potential, a good bit of land and is quite possibly zoned for multi-use, which could come in very handy down the road. Currently the sellers are firm on their price of $315,000 and that is at the upper end of our budget, and leaves little cash reserves for a total make-over. It has been empty for at least a couple of years, but is built extremely well. The all concrete structure (with steel reinforcement) shows absolutely no cracks. The 8" thick walls, roof and foundation seem to be in tip top condition. This house is also the oldest, probably 20-25 years old. But the views are amazing!!! There is a nice cobblestone, steeeeep driveway and a carport for two small vehicles. It is fenced on two sides, and has approximately 15,000 sq. feet of land, (quite enough for a pool, cabana, and a guesthouse casita) . This could make a great office or business location with us living in the "planned casita"....
Who knows??? I am told by our trusted real estate agent that this one will still be available, (more than likely) later on and we can wait until April to make an offer that is more in-line with our real budget. I can see this being a project to be undertaken after we are successful in selling my shop in Historic Downtown Decatur, Alabama. Maybe next Spring or even the Spring of 2011.....
