Sierra Madre Real Estate

The towns of the Sierra Madre are some of Jalisco's oldest communities. Mascota at one time was bigger than Guadalajara. San Sebastian was once a bustling silver mining town with more than 20,000 people, today there are less than 500. If any of the towns have seen real estate purchased by foreigners who want a second home up in the mountains where the weather is temperate year-round, it is Talpa. The three towns are a couple of hours out of Vallarta and are a popular place to visit for people in PV. But so far, it has not been of great demand for expats looking for a second home.

Important sub-regions of the Sierra Madre:

San Sebastian del Oeste:

San Sebastian doesn't have much to offer in the way of real estate, its an anachronistic mining town that at one time was one of the larger communities in the state of Jalisco. No developments, just a few older homes and haciendas that a few people have purchased and renovated.

Talpa de Allende:

Talpa is your typical Mexican village that situated high in the mountains of the Sierra Madre. Recently there has been some real estate development in the region, offering small homes and lots for building, but it is minimal. If you like to be away from it all, entrench yourself in "real" Mexico and have a place to get away from the heat of summer, Talpa is the place!

Mascota: coming soon!
