Step into history and modern luxury with Hacienda de San Nicolás, a breathtaking property that seamlessly blends 16th and 18th-century charm with 21st-century amenities. Situated along Mexico’s historic “Ruta de la Plata,” now part of the Independence and Wine Routes, this extraordinary estate offers an unmatched opportunity just 20 minutes from San Miguel de Allende and 40 minutes from Querétaro. With its roots as a colonial presidio, where mineral caravans once paused under the protection of its still-standing walls and watchtowers, this property is a living piece of Guanajuato’s vibrant past.
Spread across more than 5 hectares, the Hacienda features 16 private rooms with en-suite bathrooms, thoughtfully distributed in two distinct areas, plus two rustic colonial-style cabins. Its versatile layout is ideal for a variety of uses, from a boutique hotel to a serene retreat center. The central courtyard, dating back to the 18th century, accommodates up to 300 guests, making it a dream venue for weddings, celebrations, or corporate events. Meanwhile, multifunctional meeting spaces, a spacious outdoor plaza, and a traditional temazcal (Mexican steam bath) further enhance its appeal for both private and commercial ventures.
Nature lovers will be captivated by the lush gardens, home to hundreds of fruit and regional trees, creating a serene oasis. Every year, the property’s signature agapanthus flowers bloom, their striking white petals contrasting beautifully against the verdant surroundings and historic architecture. This harmonious connection with nature makes the Hacienda a true sanctuary, offering tranquility and inspiration at every turn.
Its prime location in Guanajuato places you in the heart of cultural and historical richness. San Miguel de Allende, a UNESCO World Heritage site renowned for its artistic flair and vibrant community, is just a short drive away. Querétaro offers modern conveniences, historic landmarks, and thriving economic opportunities. The Hacienda is perfectly positioned for those seeking both peaceful countryside living and accessibility to two of Mexico’s most desirable cities.
