Rancho Los Olivos

An unmatched boutique Gentleman's Ranch in San Miguel de Allende.



MAGICAL SAN MIGUEL

Morning dawns in San Miguel de Allende in the highlands of Mexico. The church bells of the baroque parish church peal out, as this unique little city perched 6000 feet up in the Mexican Mountains wakes up.

Sidewalk cafes with fresh squeezed orange juice & delicious organic Mexican coffee serve a leisurely breakfast in the main square. Donkeys file down one of the narrow, cobble stoned, multi-colored streets bearing firewood & rich topsoil from the nearby pine forests as the costumed flower ladies arrange their colorful wares in the shaded cloisters of the main square.

It's just another one of the endless sundrenched days that make this magical place a true paradise.

A UNIQUE GENTLEMAN'S RANCH

We sit dogs at our feet, coffee in hand, horses silently grazing & swans floating elegantly a few feet away as another perfect day unfolds at Rancho Los Olivos.

Los Olivos is located minutes outside town with panoramic views of downtown San Miguel & the surrounding hills, positioned in the exclusive area now known as San Miguel's "Golden Corridor"---a green and fertile valley home to a select few of Mexico's most exclusive ranches, haciendas and homes.

Robin and Becky Milward built this Provencale style house on 12 picturesque acres in the lea of the nearby hills, installing a glorious 1/4 acre lake, home to black Australian and white Trumpeter swans, planting over 350 trees to create a green, private oasis just 3 miles from San Miguel.

The driveway wends its way between three of the leading Mexican thoroughbred horse ranches, those of the Suarez "World Trade Center" family of Mexico City, the Zepeda "Embajador Tequila" family & the Aleman "Rancho El Girasol (of former Mexican President) arriving securely & discreetly at Rancho Los Olivos.

A boutique working ranch, Rancho Los Olivos is fully irrigated & grows hay, alfalfa and oats for its own consumption supported by a brand new 4" agricultural, crystal clear warm-water well.

Entered through 2 sets of arched wrought iron electric gates, the graveled driveway winds through a mature mesquite forest beneath which lies an emerald green carpet of white "dutch" clover.
The imposing entry is framed by an antique carved cantera stone surround opening to the soaring 25 foot marble floored vestibule featuring a pair of ancient gold framed, intricately carved convent doors originally from the historic city of Morelia.

To one side, hand wrought stone stairs lead to the upstairs en suite bedroom and study, whose Terrace views stretch all the way from the nearby hills & distant mountains to downtown San Miguel.
The 30 foot main Sala is crowned by airy 12 foot ceilings supported by 3 massive handcut beams and crosshatched with lesser beams in the traditional Provencale style, with a comfortable seating area in front of an imposing 6 foot high handcut stone fireplace, all framed by two antique blue carved columns brought from India.
The adjacent 20 foot Dining Room featuring a large antique Mexican hutch, authentic French Country Rotisserie fireplace & a carved stone dining table seating eight to ten, is flanked by a large fully equipped kitchen and laundry room.
On the other side of the Main Sala lies the Master Bedroom suite with "his & her" ensuite baths, a stone fireplace, radiant in-floor heating and French doors leading out to secluded terraces overlooking the professionally landscaped gardens.

A separate wing houses a third bedroom suite, its bathroom decorated by hand painted Mexican tiles, a fireplace & radiant floor heating with dramatic 25 foot ceilings & a 'balconied' loft studio gymnasium.

Oversized couches and armchairs in the main Sala offer relaxed country living & two sets of French doors open on to a large stone terrace leading to the swimming pool and stocked lake.

An outside Sala with woodburning fireplace to one side and exterior Dining room to the other flank the terrace with its stone fountain & a cypress lined pathway leading to the lake.

Wireless telephone, high speed internet and international satellite television complete the picture with state of the art communications.

The lawned gardens with over three acres of under - ground sprinkler irrigation systems are encircled by white two-rail Ranch fencing and adjacent sits the Stable & Clocktower at the head of the white railed, 60 x 20 meter dressage arena .

Next to it sits a 60 foot lunging ring just a few feet away.
