Description

Stephen has described his/her home in English.

What you will love about this home

We have a landscaped yard with a swimming pool, cypress trees, palm trees, potted gardenias, avocado, pomegranate and guava trees, flowering vines, etc…The house is very colorfully decorated and furnished tastefully. There is a breathtaking vista view from the two patios and mirador. The listing says three double beds because they didn’t have any other specifications to choose from. More specifically two bedrooms have king beds and the third bedroom has a double bed and a twin bed. All have a full bathroom. We have an Amazon FireStick TV device.

What you will love about this neighborhood

The neighborhood is a mature subdivision developed probably in the 1960s. There are nothing but custom homes here. Some are very large and some are more modest. It’s a very quiet neighborhood just a few minutes to the nearby towns which are on the shores of Mexico‘s largest lake, Lake Chapala. We are about an hour to downtown Guadalajara and about 30 minutes to the international airport. The town of Ajijic has been popular with North American retirees for many, many years. There are an estimated 10,000 to 30,000 US and Canadian citizens that spend time here either full-time or seasonally. It’s the weather, the wonderful flora and fauna and the inexpensive overall living expenses that have made this place popular for many years. All those people need to eat so we have a great variety of restaurants, many, many restaurants. There’s quite a nice music scene and there are a growing number of art galleries. The town has brightly colored homes with beautiful murals here and there. Folks like William Faulkner and Elizabeth Taylor have enjoyed some time here.

Additional information

7 night minimum. I am offering the three bedroom, three bath upstairs residence of this 7600 square-foot home. Downstairs is another complete living area where my staff reside. They are a couple named George and Lucy. You can arrange for them to do cooking, maid service, laundry, shopping, chauffeur service, etc.. there is a large Walmart type store a few minutes from the house. There’s another public market place in the middle of Chapala only a few minutes further. There’s a water park if you have children to entertain within 10 minutes. Drive west another 15 minutes and there’s a town on the lake with natural hot springs spas with multiple pools, steam rooms and some spas offer a full massage and treatment menu. Wednesdays there is a great street market with fresh vegetables, fish, poultry, bakery goods, clothing, pottery, glass ware, etc.. Between the two towns mentioned there are a couple of other villages that all run together. Almost all of them have what is called a Malecon. These are long promenades along the lake. Chapala‘s is lined with restaurants. Not far away Guadalajara is a city of 6 1/2 million people with everything you could possibly want as far as goods and services. There are Costco’s, Home Depot, etc. etc. etc. Of course large shopping malls with Apple stores and all the rest. If you golf there’s a small, absolutely beautiful, lush nine hole golf course 10 minutes from the house and there’s a large 18-hole public country club 15 minute drive east along the lake. Both have restaurants. Please don’t hesitate to asked me about questions of availability. My schedule is very flexible… I have neighbors so excessive noise from adults or children at any time of day is discouraged. Smoking outside on the patio’s or around the pool is allowed. Pets are possible depending on the pet. Amount of square meters posted is approximate. I have a cat but depending on the situation at the time of your booking you may or may not be asked to feed it. The map does not accurately position the house. We are located in Chapala Haciendas just north of Chapala
