About Us
Hernando and Felipe
Hernando and Felipe set out in 2023 to create an affordable housing experience tailored for the unique needs of rural areas like Anderson Valley, California. With Hernando serving as CEO of Magdalena Homes and Felipe as an early angel investor, they’ve activated a model that bridges countries, cultures, and communities. By organizing resources across borders and staying focused on resident experience and quality of life, Magdalena Homes has delivered a proven approach to sustainable, affordable housing—one that is kind, respectful, and effective.
Roland
Roland provided the financing that launched Magdalena Homes’ very first rental studio—giving the project the lift it needed to get off the ground. Beyond his early investment, Roland has been a steady source of advice and encouragement, offering both strategic insight and hands-on support. A frequent visitor to Anderson Valley, Roland remains closely connected to the mission, helping to shape a future of affordable, dignified housing from the very beginning.
Mauricio
Mauricio has been an essential force behind the success of Magdalena Homes. From preparing house sites and installing homes to responding promptly to every maintenance or repair need, Mauricio is the go-to person for residents and team members alike. His hands-on skill, dedication, and warm spirit have made him a cornerstone of the Magdalena experience. Trusted, appreciated, and deeply valued, Mauricio is truly part of the Magdalena family.
The Fernández family—Mena, Miguel, and little Mila—have played a vital role in expanding Magdalena Homes. Pictured here in Yorkville, they’ve helped bring additional homes to life through their financial support and commitment to thoughtful, beautiful housing. Their eye for aesthetics and steadfast support elevate the project’s quality, and Mila brings a joyful energy that reminds us of the next generation. We’re deeply grateful to count the Fernández family as part of the Magdalena story.
Mena, Miguel, and Mila
Magdalena Homes became a reality thanks to the incredible people who’ve contributed their time, energy, resources, and heart. As we continue to grow, we warmly welcome future collaborators—whether you’re an investor, designer, connector, future resident, or a landowner with space to share. If you believe in the power of dignified, affordable housing and want to be part of something meaningful, we’d love to hear from you.
