Villa Arcadia
It is
located in a country-type suburb just 10 minutes from Tequisquiapan.
It is a gated community with 24/7 security that has a nice common area which
includes a clubhouse with a swimming pool. Outside the neighborhood, within the
community of La Tortuga, there are all basic services, and the city is located
less than 6 kilometers away. The atmosphere of the community is of Mexican
families, not so much foreigners, so it is ideal for those who want to immerse
themselves in this land in a more local way, having the privilege of living in
one of the most touristic cities in the state.
The context
is a semi-desert landscape, a classic of the Bajío area; In the distance, you can
see the Peña de Bernal, an imposing monolith that triggers high tourism in the
area.
The city is
quiet, friendly, with colonial buildings. Tequisquiapan is characterized by its
artisans, who make everything from small crafts to impressive vaults with
perfect attention to detail.
Villa
Arcadia is a Tuscan-style house built with local materials and the artisanal
quality is distinguished in the area. It is made with
hand-carved gray limestone rock block walls, some plastered and others apparent. The
ceilings are made up of exposed beams and bricks shaped like a petatillo.
There are typical vaults of the region. The terracotta-colored clay floors
match the color of the bricks in the ceilings. The carpentry is made from solid
American oak wood and has French stained-glass windows with Art Nouveau
and Art Deco motifs.
On the
ground floor, the house has a large living room, dining room, and kitchen with another
small dining room. It also has a library and a bedroom with a bathroom. On the
upper floor, we find a study and two bedrooms sharing a bathroom and dressing
room.
In
addition, the house has a small loft with independent access from the
surrounding street. It has a full kitchen integrated into the living room and a
bedroom on the second level. There is total independence between the house and
this space, making it very convenient for visits or rentals, whether for
long or short periods.
