Rancho Los Agaves

Hidden in the pristine wooded terrain of Central Mexico’s high desert, adjacent to San Lucas vineyard and just 15 minutes drive from San Miguel’s bustling historic center, awaits a serene retreat. Warm Mexican hospitality meets Swiss precision at Hacienda Agave Azul, a beautiful 9BR/9BA property with breathtaking vistas of the Sierra Madre mountains. Mature pecan, mesquite, and eucalyptus trees dot the property; the hush of the countryside soothes the senses.

Enter at the welcome center; there are seven rooms to use any way you like: yoga studio, art workshop, or home office, and there’s even room to press grapes. Behind this building, along the fence line, are staff quarters. The main house is hacienda style; its three bedrooms are a study in modern Mexican design. Each spacious room with an en-suite opens up to dramatic views and the great outdoors, bringing the calm of nature right to your doorstep. A koi pond anchors the central patio, and the stunning chef’s kitchen with an enormous island has ample space for storage, food prep, two sinks, and stainless steel appliances. Surrounded by lush vineyards and organic farms, the more than 15 acres of mostly cleared property has striking vineyard potential. Plant vines, olive, and fruit trees –– A pond graces the back corner of Agave Azul, surrounded by mature pecan trees and a clover leaf-shaped cluster of four casitas.

With its dramatic grounds and elegant rustic furnishings, one can’t help but be charmed. But if your heart desires to bask in idyllic surroundings, the front patio provides an ideal spot for al fresco dining or an afternoon spent reading, writing, or simply dreaming. When you seek action, you’re not far from the fine restaurants, art, music, and colonial charm of San Miguel Centro. With solar, water well, wind, and electric power, this gem is move-in-ready.
