Are you looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life and embrace a self-sufficient, eco-friendly, and healthy lifestyle? If your heart is calling for a better life for you and your family, we have the perfect solution at Road to Jalpa 12km.

Tucked away in a private setting surrounded by picturesque rolling hills and stunning south-facing views, this charming gem is located just minutes from Via Organica and Bar Zandunga.

A rustic stone home, built in 2018 to high specifications, offers approximately 150 m² (1,600 square feet) of living space on 7,000 m² (just under 2 acres) of land. Designed with entertaining in mind, you’ll feel worlds away while being just a 15-minute drive to San Miguel de Allende and 40 minutes to Santiago de Querétaro.

As you approach the house, you’ll pass through a unique cactus and flower garden and a 3 x 7m swimming pool with a Teka deck. You’ll then be greeted by a spacious terrace that offers both shade and shelter from the wind, complete with an original pizza oven perfect for entertaining guests.

Entering the house, you'll find an open-plan living area with a kitchen, bar, and a modern wood-burning fireplace. The round shape of this room makes it both unique and cozy. A bathroom with a separate guest toilet leads you to the master bedroom, and next to it, a large office. Down the circular stairs, you’ll find a basement double bedroom with an additional shower and toilet combo, along with a separate entrance. The basement also features a small terrace offering shade and shelter.

Behind the house, there’s a laundry area and ample storage space for firewood.

The property is fully equipped with sustainable features, including a 100,000-liter (26,400-gallon) water cistern fed by the house's roof, providing water for the irrigation system of the orchard and garden. Above the cistern, you’ll find a carport for two cars and a utility room for easy access to the cistern and storage of batteries and the inverter for the solar system. The house is independent from CFE (Federal Electricity Commission), though the CFE line remains as a backup, supported by a 5 kW generator to ensure continuous power supply. Additionally, there’s a 20,000-liter cistern near the pool, replenished weekly by the community borehole, which supplies filtered water to the house and casita.

At the other end of the property is a self-contained casita (45 m²) with a living room, double bedroom, full kitchen, bathroom with shower, and its own private terrace. The casita, like the main house, is equipped with hot water provided by an LPG califont and has its own carport. Another 20,000-liter water tank serves as back-up and is located between the casita and utility shed, which is perfect for tools and as a workshop.

Both the house and casita are connected to Starlink for reliable internet access.

The expansive vegetable garden (168 m²) is protected with shade cloth and side netting. Nearby, there’s a separate 12 m² greenhouse and a fruit orchard. A chicken run, including chooks and a chicken house, provides fresh organic eggs.

The property is fully fenced and features its own electric gate. On the main road, there’s an additional gate for access to all 7 homes in the area, most of which are owned by Americans. For added security, the property is home to three dogs, all rescued from the streets and loved by the current owners, who would appreciate if they could stay with the house and the new owners.

The owners are reluctantly returning to Europe and are looking for new caretakers who will love and cherish this dream property, complete with the chickens and dogs. If this is the lifestyle you’ve been dreaming of, make the call today and secure this incredible property.
