NO! Our land is not ejido land. Our land is 100% owned outright. We would not take the chance of starting a project of this magnitude if there were a chance of problems in the future.

Ejido Land:

In Mexican system of government, an ejido (Spanish pronunciation: [eˈxiðo], from latin exitum) is an area of communal land used for agriculture, on which community members individually possess and farm a specific parcel. Ejidos are registered with Mexico’s National Agrarian Registry (Registro Agrario National). The system of ejidos dates from the Aztecs‘ rule ofMexico.^[when?] During the colonization of Mexico by the Spanish and other European settlers,^[when?] the Spanish encomienda system replaced the ejidos.

Yes, however, keep in mind that this project is not a real estate development.  All Rancho ∞ Amigos Shareholders are “partners”. As a partner, you will own a share in Rancho ∞ Amigos. Therefore, by owning a share in our project, the land that is specified in the share you purchase is yours and yours only! The share gives you 100% rights and ownership to your lot.

When you purchase a lot or home on our ranch, you are purchasing an individual share (or shares) of a land trust, which includes 100% ownership of your specific lot and home built on that lot, as well as access to all common areas and ranch property (approximately 700+ acres/300 hectares). The price for each share will differ, depending on whether or not the lot includes a home already built or not.

Prices are based on US dollars because of the simple fact that the Mexican Peso (as well as many other currencies) is pegged to the US dollar. Fluctuations in the US dollar directly affect the cost of materials (i.e. cement, steel, etc.). Please contact us for shares available for sale and the selling prices.

Yes! You may sell your share at any time, at any price you wish. Other ecovillage members will have the right of first refusal to purchase your share from you before you sell to the public. If nobody within the ranch community wishes to purchase your share, you may then offer it for sale to the public.

Yes! With the exception of personal lots owned by shareholders, you will have access to the remaining 300 hectares (approx 700+ acres) of the beautiful, mountainous, exotic ranch land. You will also have access to all common areas, including the outdoor kitchen, picnic, canopy/rotunda, soon-to-be library, and all common areas that may be built in the future.

Ownership in our ecovillage is much the same as it would be for any foreigner purchasing land & property on the coastal area in Mexico.

• Ownership is through a land trust. As a shareholder, you will own a defined portion of land (specified by exact coordinates) on the ranch. Your home may be already built (a Shareholder selling his/her share) or you may purchase a share in the trust and build your dream home on your defined lot portion.
• Owners may rest assured that ownership is 100% guaranteed, as it would be with any foreigner purchasing property along the coast in Mexico and you may sell your share at any time (other ecovillage members will have the right of first refusal to purchase your share before you sell to the public).
