Acre is a 25 acre piece of farmland situated 7
minutes from the quaint, scenic, “old town” of San Jose
del Cabo. The restaurant will be set within a natural
palm grove, and two acres of organic crops will provide
fresh produce and ingredients for the restaurant and
bar. The remaining grounds will be equally lush, with
pathways and other points of interest. A small
general market will sell the farm’s surplus produce
and other food products from the restaurant’s kitchen.
Parking for 80 vehicles will be provided at the southern
entrance to the property. A separate event space in
the top corner of the property will accommodate and
cater to larger groups.
These lodgings, along with the restaurant and pool, will
be key to providing a unique Baja vacation for visitors
seeking something different from the typical Las Cabos
resort: Think more focused activities like yoga, fitness,
and other educational programs.
The first phase of Acre
(6 acres) will include
a restaurant and
cocktail bar. The second phase
will accommodate guests
with 12-18 villas, 6-8
tree houses and a
swimming pool.

It will promote Mexico as a beautiful and engaging part of the world and create authentic experiences
that are neither contrived nor tourist driven. Acre is poised to become the new holiday experience where
appreciation for design, sustainability and modern life intersect in one beautiful, unique property.
Acre is a destination defined by
progressive design, ethics and lifestyle.

While Cabo San Lucas is notorious for its seasonal, high
volume of tourism of “spring breakers” and party seekers,
San Jose del Cabo has established itself as a more low
key vacation spot focusing on the resort experience. This
area also offers holiday rentals and boutique accommo-
dation options for individuals, couples and families.
From the art galleries and restaurants of the historic
town centre to the outdoor activities, a vacation here
includes a little something for everyone. Some highlights
include: surfing, stand up paddling, fishing, dune buggy
exploring, golf and more. Escape and take a day trip to
some of the beautiful untamed beaches of the East Cape,
or visit Los Barillies or Ventanas for world-class scuba
and kiteboarding.
San Jose del Cabo is
considered the quieter,
more grown-up sister city
to Cabo San Lucas.

In addition to being a very sustainable and
energy efficient building technique, this material
allows us unique design possibilities.
The restaurant and
villas will be built using
rammed earth.

Anyone who has spent time in Los Cabos knows that the
restaurant scene here is quite predictable. Standard
tourist fare dominates, with fish tacos, hamburgers,
marguerites and cervezas filling most of the menus. It’s a
common complaint, especially among the local communi-
ty, that there is an extreme shortage of great restaurants.
We see this as an incredible opportunity for us to tap into
this under serviced segment of the dining industry.
Our restaurant at Acre will follow what’s taking place
in dining these days. We’ll be creating a menu using all
local and freshly prepared ingredients, (in most cases,
ingredients from 200 feet away!) There will of course,
be a Baja influence, but the main focus will be on clean,
vegetable forward dishes complimented by local seafoods
and meats. Cooking will take place in front of diners in
a wood burning oven and over an open flamed grill. The
food will be inventive, local, and hearty yet clean and
light. This is the way the industry is moving. More and
more people are demanding a delicious meal but they
also want to feel light, healthy and energized at the end
of it. This is how many people are now eating in larger
Cities north of the Mexican border. We’re confident they’d
like to eat this way on their vacation as well.
“an incredible
opportunity for us to tap
into this under serviced
segment of the dining
industry”

Our program for the bar is based on a holistic approach
to consumption where we explore making ingredients and
drinks from the source. We focus on highlighting Mexi-
co’s diverse range of spirits from around the country that
are made in small batches and rarely found in markets
beyond Mexico.
Traditional spirits and drinks of Mexico will be used and
recreated in the bar utilizing ingredients in season and
fresh from the farm. The beauty of the country and
history will be told through the story of each drink as
it came into the glass. People, land and ingredients will
be emphasized in the menus that will change with the
seasons.
The service style and influence of the beverages will stay
true to classic etymology of drinks and hospitality.
Unique glassware and tools are sourced from
antique markets through out Mexico, much like the hand
picked spirits.
In addition to the local spirits, a selection of micro brew
beers and local wines are featured along side our global
spirits selection.
The Cocktail Bar will be a destination for aficionados of
spirits and cocktails. A workshop located beyond the bar
will showcase the production of hydrosols, liqueurs, spirits
and syrups for guests to learn and sample.
There are seventy seats in the main bar and a roof top
patio with additional seats for 50 people or room for
standing up to 70. The total capacity for the cocktail
bar is 140 including the rooftop and main bar making it
ideal for events. Considering the bar program we hope
to serve local and international guests coming to enjoy
unique libations in a breathtaking oasis like environment.
A special program has been developed to bring
Bartenders in from around the globe on “stages” to live
and work on the farm learning how to create ingredients
for drinks from the ground to glass by fermenting
and distilling.
“The Cocktail Bar will
be a destination for
aficionados of spirits
and cocktails.”

Dani is an extremely creative and talented bar manager
and mixologist who has helped us create probably the
most inventive and respected cocktail bar in Canada.
The “Keefer Bar” fuses the world of classic cocktails with
ingredients sourced from the surrounding apothecaries
and markets of Vancouver’s Chinatown. Dani is applying
this same passion for local roots to the bar at Acre. Over
the last two years Dani has been travelling throughout
Mexico, researching and sourcing obscure spirits and
ingredients that will be used in a cocktail menu that will
be ground breaking for this area.

Stuart’s background is in finance
but in his heart he’s a farmer.
At this stage of his life it made
complete sense to store away his
business suits, move to a beauti-
ful part of the world, and build an
exciting new business with his long
time friend Cameron. The part-
nership works well with Cameron
looking after the building and Stuart
focusing on the administration and
red tape involved in such a project.
Conveniently, Stuart’s green thumb
is a vital ingredient to the partner-
ship, given the intensive planting
and farming that will be required.
Cameron has spent his whole life
envisioning, creating and operat-
ing businesses and small, unique
real estate projects. After graduat-
ing from UBC in 1986, he and his
partner started Canadian Springs
Water company in Vancouver and
built it into a 200 employee com-
pany serving over 30,000 custom-
ers. After being bought out in
1996, Cameron has been involved
in a handful of startup businesses
as well as a number of retail and
residential real estate ventures. His
most recent project was the Keefer
building in Vancouver’s Chinatown
which has garnered much positive
attention. Many people have cred-
ited the Keefer building as being
the catalyst for the rapid redevelop-
ment currently taking place in this
Vancouver neighbourhood. Cameron
is driven by a passion for creating
something where before there was
nothing.
