4 Bedroom Villa in Los Zacatitos, Santa Cruz de los Zacatitos
Summary:
Set on four acres of arid desert in Baja California Sur, this off-grid architectural compound by award-winning Campos Studio is a stunning experiment in passive design and minimalism. Comprising four private sleeping structures and a communal pavilion, the home is designed for immersive desert living, surrounded by granite boulders, indigenous flora, and distant mountain views. Perfect for those seeking stylish seclusion with easy access to beaches and Baja’s best culinary and surf spots.
The Space:
This striking desert residence consists of five separate structures:
• Sleeping spaces: One king bedroom, two queen bedrooms, and a six-bed bunk room for kids or groups (sleeps 12 total)
• Each sleeping volume includes a shaded breezeway and private courtyard planted with local flora
• The fifth structure: A shared open-air pavilion housing the kitchen, dining area, and lounge
The design is inspired by traditional Spanish courtyards and haciendas, using breezeways and passive cooling to create comfort in the desert heat. At the heart of the property lies a minimalist pool set against granite outcroppings and native desert scrub. A rooftop terrace offers unmatched sunset views with silhouettes of the Sierra de la Laguna mountains.
