Residence

ATTENTION INVESTORS: A stunning residence located in one of the most wooded neighborhoods of Cuernavaca. This mansion sits within a private gated community accessed via one of the neighborhood’s main avenues—offering both convenient access and the tranquility of private living. It also features a 24-meter rear frontage adjacent to a commercial area, making it suitable as a beautiful hotel.

The mansion was built and completed in the 1960s using reclaimed architectural elements—including disassembled and numbered cantera (volcanic stone) blocks, transported to the site and reassembled on location. It features solid cantera columns with complete lintels—all original pieces salvaged from demolitions along Mexico City’s central avenues, such as Avenida 20 de Noviembre and Avenida Independencia, as well as other elements sourced from haciendas in the State of Mexico, Hidalgo, and San Luis Potosí. The result is a delightful fusion of cantera walls, marble floors, enclosed courtyards, spectacular gualdras (ornamental wooden ceiling beams), and finishes evoking the Spanish Colonial era. The house comprises six bedrooms: four upstairs and two identical ones downstairs beside the courtyard—each with a full bathroom. Also included is a library-study-bedroom with a full bathroom. The master bedroom features a functional fireplace with flue and a walk-in closet. Its flooring consists of high-grade, varnished oak wood, installed with an air gap between the planks and subfloor for optimal acoustics and climate performance. A large dining room with fireplace accommodates a table for up to 16 people; this space features a magnificent antique leaded stained-glass window approximately 3 meters wide by 1.5 meters tall. A separate antechamber for a table seating up to eight people. A two-level game room with fireplace. A spacious living room with fireplace. A terrace overlooking the swimming pool, where the gentle sound of the nearby river creates a deeply relaxing atmosphere. A viewing deck–solarium with a half-bathroom offering a breathtaking view of the Cuernavaca Valley.

The swimming pool features a unique shape reminiscent of the Iberian Peninsula—a personal whim of the owner. This area includes a covered terrace with fireplace. A wine cellar with bar, maintaining naturally regulated humidity and temperature for optimal bottle preservation and boasting considerable storage capacity. A large kitchen equipped with a gas-fired bread oven, industrial stove, and an exceptionally spacious pantry/pantry room. Four service rooms with two bathrooms. A laundry room and clothesline area. A central courtyard paved with recinto-style flagstones measuring 8 cm in width, featuring a decorative cantera fountain at its center and a Moorish-style monolith weighing approximately three tons and over five hundred years old completing the fountain ensemble.

A chapel accommodating approximately 40 seated guests, with oak-wood pews, a sacristy, and antique leaded windows. All floors throughout the house are crafted from Santo Tomas marble—except the bedrooms, which feature wood flooring. Ceilings are finished in traditional Spanish Colonial petatillo plasterwork. Roofs are tiled, and plumbing installations are made of copper. The beams and gualdras adorning the house are authentic antiques. The residence was designed and constructed by architect Don Carlos Obregón Santa Cilia and his son Carlos Obregón Formoso—both friends of the family. All architectural elements described are genuine and unparalleled. An exterior garage for two to three vehicles and an interior garage accommodating up to fifteen cars. Landscaped green areas planted with fruit-bearing and ornamental trees—including laurels, ahuehuetes (Montezuma cypresses), rubber trees, pines, and bamboos.
