Timeless Elegance Near San Miguel de Allende

Tucked within the historic village of Atotonilco—just 15 minutes from San Miguel de Allende—this remarkable eight-bedroom estate stands as a masterwork of colonial restoration and artisan detail. With views of the UNESCO-listed Santuario de Atotonilco, the residence invites a rare balance of cultural legacy, architectural splendor, and contemporary refinement.

Originally built in the early 1700s, the estate has undergone an extensive restoration that honors its storied past while elevating the home to modern sophistication. Interior and exterior living spaces blend seamlessly, with lush gardens encircling a mineral-rich Talavera-tiled pool and jacuzzi. Expansive rooftop terraces frame panoramic views of the countryside and historic sanctuary, enhancing the estate’s quiet grandeur.

Inside, the home celebrates regional artistry. Hand-painted tiles from Dolores Hidalgo, boveda brick ceilings, cantera stone fireplaces, and custom stained glass complement a curated collection of religious art, local paintings, and antiques sourced from across Mexico. Twelve fireplaces—gas and wood-burning—bring warmth and intimacy throughout.

Each of the eight en-suite bedrooms offers privacy, character, and handcrafted elegance. Some feature private patios, outdoor showers, brass soaking tubs, and rooftop access. The grand dining room, with seating for 18, centers the home as a space for connection and celebration.

Beyond the estate's gates, Atotonilco and San Miguel offer cultural immersion, fine dining, and the charm of Mexico’s central highlands. For those seeking serenity, beauty, and heritage woven into every detail, this distinguished estate is a sanctuary in every sense.
