About this place

2 Bedroom, 2 Bath in Upscale Resort Community

If you've heard of Ajijic (on Lake Chapala), you know about its near perfect climate. If you know how to pronounce it (Aheeheek), you probably know why it is a favored destination for snow birds, sunbirds and ex-pats. Here, you can enjoy and afford the good life with a Mexican twist. Within walking distance to the colorful village of Ajijic, El Dorado offers the finest resort style living in the area. Although the gated community is safe, there is a professional 24 hour security team. My home is a fairly large single family villa on one level with additional outdoor living space plus a covered roof top mirador. Streaming with sunlight on all sides, the open floor plan creates a feeling of spaciousness. The two bedrooms and marble en suite bathrooms flank each wing offering privacy should you have overnight guests. Excellent mattresses with dense foam toppers and high-quality bedding insure you comfortable sleep. The fully equipped kitchen has everything from a coffee grinder for brewing local organic coffee, to a Magic Bullet for making refreshing smoothies. Or pop your gmo free popcorn for movie night. Of course there's a microwave for reheating the leftovers from last nights dinner at Adelita's or any of the many other outstanding restaurants. Clean, purified water is supplied with a six stage filtration system including reverse osmosis. The entertainment center with a large flat screen TV (Programming with Amazon Firestick) and DVD player have surround sound. Dine al fresco with seating for six at a round table on the back covered terrace. The soothing, bubbling fountain, fragrant jasmine and gardenia are sure to please your senses. Maybe it's time to spread out that jig saw puzzle or take a nap on the outdoor chaise lounge. Or invite friends for a game of bridge. Relax on the rooftop mirador reading a book with a glass of vino and catch those awesome sunsets over the lake and mountains.

Join your new friends for an evening stroll on the lushly landscaped grounds. Relax and enjoy another beautiful day in paradise.

Retired now and living in San Diego, California, I am enjoying seeing 3 grandsons grow up in this crazy world. I attend classes and stay physically active with long walks and exercise. My interests are in design, architecture, politics, investments, the world. I have always had an interest in Mexico and have owned property there since 2004. I have traveled extensively within Mexico and am blessed to have a second home in Ajijic on Lake Chapala. It
