About the host
Your host
I got into the habit of restoring Victorian houses in Canada and, when we started freeing ourselves of that default Canadian style, partly by moving to Mexico, the best places we could find were in established neighbourhoods and mostly in need of a ground-up rebuild/ restoration.
We took great pains to not alter the appearance of the property we bought while changing all the plumbing wiring and sometimes even roofs and supporting structures.
Consequently, our property is in the unmatchable and unique enclave of eight houses which were built on the acreage of the original Los Arcos Hacienda, established several centuries ago, and currently also seeing the main house brought back from a bit of neglect and forlorness. Our part of the property encloses the original Hacienda, square, brick water-tower which will one day be a very special one bedroom retreat with the best views in Ajijic.

Why they chose this property
Gabrielle, my wife, had a cousin who married into the Berry family. The Berry family built the Casa de Las Bayas (berries) in the 1960s, one of the last houses to be added to the Privada of the old Los Arcos estate.
We bought that house and restored it as well - a three-year project. We rent out the original casita when we are not there. It is our other VRBO listing you see. We have been renting it out with the other booking agency under Ajijic Paradise.
That is where we get our five-star rating from, and many repeat guests.
Galeanas is a century home with timeless, spacious elegance, lofty (sixteen foot) ceilings of new, traditional boveda (brick) and even new palm-wood beam and woven grass-mat roofing on the verandah to replace the original. The huge six thousand sq ft grounds feature an established garden with seventy foot tall Galeanas (African Tulip Trees) giving mottled shade relief from the hot, mid-day, mountain sun.

What makes this property unique
The quietest, most secure and beautiful neighbourhood in Ajijic.
Yet, minutes away from everything, on foot! On the flat too, which counts for a lot in a hill-side town at five thousand feet and going to six on the backdrop of the Sierra Madre.
And it is not a remote and walled fortress with guards at the gate saying; "Rich Pickings" and spoiling dinner parties before they begin, but an organic part of real, old, Mexican Ajijic by its proximity to the Guadalupe neighborhood marked by the famous Ajijic 'Six Corners' quaint intersection which everyone knows.
And... whole house UV purified, triple-filtered water from all indoor taps.
Added to the fact that our part of town has the cleanest mountain-well spring-water in Ajijic, you can safely sing and gargle in the shower.
