CASA DAVISON

A Historic Oceanfront Estate in Loreto, Baja California Sur

Once known as the Flying Sportsman Lodge, this epic oceanfront estate now known as Casa Davison has been meticulously restored utilizing only the finest materials and craftsmanship. The comprehensive restoration process took over 11 years to complete and no expense was spared in creating this luxurious oceanfront estate.
