The house sits high looking down on a secluded beach. Lot is 60' from the ocean. Home only is for sale; the land is leased. The buyer will need to sign a new lease with the landowner.

La Bocana is very secluded, 14 miles down a gravel road (well traveled). Other Americans homeowners are near by, some full time and some part time residents.

                     whoooo! where am I ... can't be La Bocana

Throw a few dried seeds out in the yard and you never know what will decide to grow.  Emily did just that over two years ago and the Papaya has thrived.

Blast from the Past: 1968!

We are very privileged to get some scans of photos taken in 1968-69 during the building of the Lucynski house (now the Lydon house). Duncan Smith, stepson of Art Lucynski, sent these photos in.

I'm amazed at how little has changed.    Enjoy a trip back in time!!

Thank you Duncan!!

It was such a beautiful day, we could not resist hiking up into the hills behind our houses. It was not an easy hike but we were rewarded with beautiful views in all directions!

Beautiful houses and the sleeping lady.

Looking east -that's our dirt road through the valley.
The green is artichoke fields.

View to the cement plant and beyond.

Happy New Year!

In addition to amazingly sunny days and incredibly starry nights, we enjoyed great company!
