Why Property Manager chose Ajijic
We tried hard and could find no better property or neighborhood in all of Ajijic. The property was in the family but in need of total restoratoin. In the end, that is what we did. We live in the Casa (large house). When we are not there we rent the Casita (guest house). We restored it for family and friends and to live in ourselves while the Casa was restored. It is a great place to live and spend time.
What makes this Villa unique
Large property with mature gardens and a natural bird sanctuary. Bird-watching groups here are quite famous. Though central to the village of Ajijic, you might never know it. It is that quiet and peaceful.
