Todos Santos has more centenarians (over 100 years) per capita than anywhere in North America. i found that fact unique and interesting 18 years ago and realized that the rural lifestyle, the large families that grew up together in this small town, the predominant church in the main square, the absolutely perfect, dry weather all year - all lent themselves to people living long and well here. I began buying land from local farmers 15 years ago and aggregated it into one rancho. 'Sundance' as we call it.
Close to the main square, yet still in the rural part of Todos Santos. And yet right on the beach! Peaceful, quiet, with a long 400 yard driveway of Royal Palms and Coco Palms (yes, you can have fresh coconut juice!). You see, Todos Santos is unique. There is a lot of water. The rancho is located about 15 meters above the lowest part, the bajio, where a river literally runs underground. But that zone is cold in the morning as the mountain air flows off the Sierra Laguna range to the east. Too much water is also difficult to control. This rancho is just at the perfect location.
Its so quiet and there are hundreds of doves that live on the property in all the mango trees. Mornings are full of dove cooing. In spring, like April, the mango trees are flowering and our 4 bee boxes provide hundreds of bees for every tree. You can walk right up to a tree and the honey bees are so busy they can't even care about you.
