Playa Encanto Lots for Sale

Playa Encanto is a quiet residential community on the eastern coastline of Puerto Peñasco, about 10 to 15 minutes east of the town center near Estero Morúa. Unlike the high-rise resort corridor at Sandy Beach, this is a low-density neighborhood of custom oceanfront villas, ocean-view homes, townhomes, and vacant residential lots. Lots here include large beachfront parcels with room for privacy and unobstructed views, along a wide sandy beach used for swimming, kayaking, and beachcombing.

A lot in Playa Encanto is a chance to design a custom home in a more secluded beach setting, farther from the crowds but still a short drive to town. Finished houses range from modest coastal cottages to multi-story beachfront residences, often with Spanish Colonial and coastal Mexican details such as stucco walls, red tile roofs, brick bóveda ceilings, and Cantera stone. Styles vary from one property to the next, so plan on a custom build rather than a repeated production model. Confirm utilities, setbacks, and any building rules that apply to the specific lot before you purchase.

The area does not have Sandy Beach's resort towers or an on-site commercial strip, and it does not host large community events of its own. People who look at lots here are often retirees and second-home buyers who want space, privacy, and a quieter shoreline, and who would rather build than start from an existing house.
