About Mezcales

Mezcales is the inland pueblo belt on the Nayarit side, eleven kilometres and about fifteen minutes from the airport on the Tepic highway, and buyers split it by village rather than by the MLS label. Mezcales itself is the original pueblo of some twenty-four thousand people: spread-out houses, the weekend tianguis, and a kilometre of commercial strip along the highway. El Tondoroque, just north-west, is the small privada around the private Hospital Tondoroque where the newer gated subdivisions cluster, Refugio Laguna beside the El Quelele nature reserve and La Fronda among them. San Vicente is the most populous locality in the municipality, local-built homes plus new master-planned gates such as Primavera Residencial. San José del Valle and San Juan de Abajo are the farming pueblos towards Valle de Banderas with only a handful of listings, mostly lots.

This is a working Mexican belt with a fast-growing fringe of gated houses aimed at foreign and Mexican second-home buyers who want a new house with a yard at a fraction of coastal prices; fields of watermelon, corn and tobacco still surround it. The new construction is houses and lots in gated subdivisions, not condo towers.

Practical points. There is no beach; the nearest sand is Nuevo Vallarta or Bucerías, ten to fifteen minutes by car. Downtown Vallarta is twenty-five to thirty-five minutes. Hospital Tondoroque is private and local; full emergency care with ICU is at Joya in Nuevo Vallarta or CMQ in Bucerías, fifteen minutes. No international school; families use Bucerías, Nuevo Vallarta or Vallarta. Inside many of the new gates the streets are still cobblestone or maintained dirt, and the summer rains test the drainage; ask how the subdivision handled the last wet season. Much of this land was ejido; the notary must confirm the dominio pleno conversion and the deed before you close.
