Villa with Two Houses for Sale and Rent in Hospitales #10, Guanajuato / Marfil, Guanajuato, Mexico

Have Your Own Villa at a Unesco World Heritage Site !!!

This property is the last of six haciendas created and/or restored by an internationally famous Italian architect named Jorge Belloni. It was completed in 1960. There are published books about his work in Colonia Marfil in Guanajuato. There is an office of the Federal Institute of Anthropolgy and Archeology very near the property where you can learn more about him and his work in Colonial Marfil. Marfil is by far the best neighborhood in Guanajuato City. The property has mountain views. We have heard from very well informed and highly regarded Mexican real estate specialists that this property will surely appreciate substantially in the future.

The Marfil Villa is a spectacular light filled property, in one of the most interesting and beautiful locations in old Mexico. It is actually more of a colonial compound, with two separate houses. The upstairs house has two bedrooms and 2 baths,and three fire places. The living room has a "wall of glass" that faces the central garden and pool area and which has a spectacular view of the mountains of Guanajuato. The upstairs room has a vaulted ceiling and could be renovated to become a separate studio apartment. The pool will require some work and supplemental heating is recommended for the winter.

The downstairs house is also two bedrooms and two baths,and three additional fireplaces and with a great kitchen dining area, also with a wall of glass facing the central garden and a fountain. There is parking behind old classic wooden doors. There are numerous sitting areas in the garden. The Villa Marfil is one of the last remaining properties of its type in Guanajuato. There is an electric gate and additional secure outside parking.

Guanajuato is centrally located in the Mexican high desert, making for wonderful year round weather. It is a university town and the seat of government, and it has great cultural activities including the Cervantino festival. Many foreign companies operate in the area.

It is 40 minutes from Leon where many modern shopping facilities can be found and only 20 minutes from an international airport that has direct fights to Dallas, Houston, Chicago, and the Bay Area.

The price is not negotiable. We will not finance it. But we will consider a lease option to buy. If I rent it, we will continue to pay our own gardener/maintenance man because we want him to continue his scrupulous maintenance of the garden as well as of the houses.


Come get a new life!
