Luxury Baja Living at Rancho San Lucas

Norman Estates, an international real estate brand by the legendary Golf Champion of the world, Greg Norman, has officially launched their very first development in all of Mexico. 68 beachfront luxury homes will be built for a lucky few who will be able to call this home. Of all the gorgeous locations that Greg Norman has golfed and traveled through in Mexico, Rancho San Lucas was chosen as “the one“. In addition to this exciting new launch, a Norman Design Golf Course, World-Class Golf Facilities, Beach Club, among many other VIP amenities are part of the new exclusive real estate development. We were lucky to attend the unveiling of the newest addition to Cabo San Lucas Real Estate on March 18, 2019.

Cabo San Lucas Real Estate

With so many Real Estate Developments continually happening across Cabo San Lucas, what makes Norman Estates so truly unique? There’s too many reasons to list, but to start, it is built on the exclusive resort community in Rancho San Lucas (“RSL”). This property sits beach front (1.2 miles long) along the coast of the Pacific Ocean. 834 acres of raw rugged beauty embodies the Baja Vibes so many fall in love with when they arrive to Los Cabos. Though RSL today is a luxury development, the natural landscape and desert plants from centuries ago has been respectfully preserved. The natural beauty and various topographies are here to stay. Just as it was planned when Don Luis Bulnes Molleda first arrived back in the 1950’s and fell in love with the area.

Solmar Hotel Group

Don Luis was born in Spain and moved to Mexico as a young man to work in Tuna Cannery. As he explored Mexico, he fell in love with Cabo San Lucas. Though Cabo back then was a sleepy fishing town, Mr. Bulnes had a grand vision to develop Real Estate and Resorts in the area. He decided to make the move of bringing his family here. In 1973, the Solmar Hotel Group was born as he became a prominent developer. Today, the group includes 5 luxury resorts (and some residences):

  • Playa Grande Resort
    • “The Ridge” at Playa Grande
  • Solmar Resort
    • Solmar Suites
  • Hotel Punta Sol
  • Grand Solmar at Land’s End
  • Grand Solmar at Rancho San Lucas
    • “The Residences” at Rancho San Lucas

Though he passed away in 2011, his son Francisco “Paco” Bulnes has become President of the group and continually grows the family business. Paco carries on the vision of making Cabo a safe, luxurious yet affordable, unique vacation destination for travelers coming from around the world. Insert the long-time friendship between Greg Norman and Paco, which has materialized into the strong partnership that has successfully built the first Norman Estates in Mexico today within the Rancho San Lucas Community.

Rancho San Lucas: Cabo’s Gateway to the Pacific

Greg Norman and Local Developer Francisco “Paco” Bulnes reminisce on their many years of friendship before launching their first business venture together: Norman Estates & Signature Golf Course at Rancho San Lucas.

Paco grew up on the Rancho San Lucas land, having chased jack rabbits and sunsets throughout his childhood. This makes the partnership between Greg and Paco that much more ordinary. Paco loves RSL’s native land; one that he strives to preserve and nurture day by day. Versus many international developers who come to a new land, bulldoze and build identical chains with little sentiments. This often leads to less authenticity of local heritage.

This aspect of Rancho San Lucas particularly drew Greg Norman to the property. Having grown up in Australia, he is an avid lover of nature, golf, fishing, water and the outdoors. So, the two worlds of Greg and Paco easily collided.

The Grand Solmar Rancho San Lucas resort had its official launch early 2018. It is situated in a safe, 24-hour secured, gated enclave within a master-plan community that includes two real estate projects: The Villas (timeshare and Real Estate) and the newest addition, Norman Estates. RSL boasts over a mile of expansive beachfront on the pacific ocean with a distant view of Lands End on the end of the Cabo peninsula. And the best part? RSL is only a 15 minute drive to downtown Cabo when you’re ready for some fun and nightlife.

Legendary Golfer Greg Norman

Greg Norman is a world hall of fame golfer and has won 91 golf tournaments worldwide. This includes 2 British Open championships and has held the #1 position in world rankings for 331 weeks.

“I have been a regular visitor to Mexico for nearly three decades
so I am honored to launch my first branded real estate
development in-country with Solmar Group,
who has an unparalleled track record in Los Cabos,”
said Greg Norman.

“This area has established itself as a world-class destination and
I am proud to unveil Norman Estates at Rancho San Lucas
as one of the premier oceanfront communities in the region.”

Greg Norman Real Estate (GNRE), an International Real Estate Brand

Greg has been designing some of the world’s greatest golf courses in the past 30 years. Along the way, it came as a natural progression to begin developing real estate alongside these iconic golf courses. Today, Greg fusions his passion of Golf, Real Estate, Marketing and Design into the Normal Estates Collection as a fully-integrated international brand. Greg Norman Real Estate, “GNRE”, based in Palm Beach, Florida is focused on exclusively bringing the brand to high-end luxury developments, hospitality projects and golf courses around the world. He is certainly not another celebrity slapping his name on existing courses and resorts. Greg has famously been known to walk every inch of his prospective golf courses and real estate developments. Making tweaks along the way to ensure 110% perfection, functionality and beauty.

In addition to the International Real Estate brand is the Norman Design Group and Greg Norman Golf Course Design. He has golfed all over Mexico but has waited for the perfect opportunity to build his very first Real Estate Development in Mexico alongside a world-class Golf Course in Cabo.

“Having traveled all over the globe,
I can say with conviction that Norman Estates at Rancho San Lucas
is unlike anywhere else in the world and will undoubtedly
raise the benchmark for beachfront living in Los Cabos.”

-Greg Norman

“Inspired by the native land and seemingly never-ending long views,
Rancho San Lucas Golf Club is a par-72, 7,245-yard,
18-hole championship course backdropped by the rolling waves of the Pacific Ocean.
Grassed fairway-to-green in Seadwarf Seashore Paspalum,
the course features a unique bunkering design unlike anything seen in the region,
magnificent 300+ year-old indigenous Cardón Cactus throughout and incomparable variations in topography.

From the oceanfront holes, to the dune-scape transition holes,
to the mountain holes formed amongst arroyos,
Rancho San Lucas Golf Club offers breathtaking design at every turn.
Designed with playability in mind, the target-style design will thrill amateurs and professionals alike.”
