International Land Alliance sells first tiny home at Baja resort site

International Land Alliance has crossed from talk to transaction: the company said it sold its first tiny home at Rancho Costa Verde in Baja California and finished site preparation for the first BOXABL installation. That sale gives the project its first hard proof point, and it arrives alongside a bigger land play that now carries roughly 1,000 homesites, with retail tiny-home pricing starting at $109,000.

The scale is what makes this more than a one-off. International Land Alliance said the latest 300-acre acquisition brought Rancho Costa Verde to 1,400 acres and about 1,500 home sites. The company said the property has already sold more than 1,000 residential lots, built more than 100 single-family homes and has 50 more under construction, in addition to a completed boutique hotel and clubhouse. The land package also includes 12 existing tiny homes and two completed beachfront homes, while renovation work is underway on a model home.

The BOXABL piece is where the strategy gets more interesting for tiny-home buyers watching for repeatable product, not just resort branding. BOXABL describes its Casita as a studio-sized modular home with a full kitchen and bathroom, and says the line comes in studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom formats. Third-party descriptions put the Casita at 361 square feet and say it can be installed in about an hour. BOXABL’s Baby Box, meanwhile, is listed as a 120-square-foot travel trailer built to RV standard NFPA 1192, designed to be towable by a pickup truck and set up by one person without special tools. BOXABL says it was founded in 2017, and SEC filings identify Paolo Tiramani as founder and CEO.

International Land Alliance is also pushing the idea beyond Rancho Costa Verde. The company said it identified another spot inside its 500-acre Cabo Oasis beachfront community for Tesla-powered BOXABL Casita units, with Tesla solar roof integration and Powerwall storage aimed at energy independence. A September 2025 company announcement had already said BOXABL was available for ordering at Cabo Oasis and that a model home was expected by the end of that month, so the June 2026 sale reads less like a splashy debut and more like the next step in a rollout that is finally moving from plan to product. Frank Ingrande said the company sees a compelling opportunity in combining innovative construction, sustainable energy and desirable coastal settings, and the first sale is the clearest sign yet that the concept is being tested in the market.
