Community story
The setting and its character
Querencia is the closest thing Los Cabos has to a purely private club community. Founded in 1999 at Km 27.5 on the San José side of the corridor, Querencia grew to roughly 1,800 acres across dramatic desert canyons, adding oceanfront parcels in 2020. Owned since 2017 by Bonnie and Tom McCloskey alongside Jorge Carrera, more than $60 million has been invested in facilities and amenities.
Read the full story
The community is centered around two Tom Fazio championship golf courses, Campo Bajo (opened in 2001) and Campo Alto (opened in 2026), supported by twelve-minute tee time intervals and on-course comfort stations. The 58,000-square-foot Club Village provides multiple dining venues, a wellness spa, lap pools, and racquet facilities, connected to roughly six to seven miles of private trails.
A defining operational feature is Querencia's amenity firewall. Short-term vacation rental guests are strictly restricted to the oceanfront Beach Club on Costa Azul and are barred from the golf courses, the Club Village, and bringing pets. This rule prevents high-turnover rental congestion and preserves residential tranquility for homeowners.
With no commercial hotels and no fractional real estate, Querencia is tailored entirely for whole-ownership luxury residents. The CaboForSale team coordinates private qualified previews and reviews membership and section HOA structures with prospective buyers.
