Your Cuernavaca Fixer-Upper House

March 4th, 2008

In last week’s newsletter, we announced that throughout the month of June we’re highlighting houses in Cuernavaca, Morelos. Next week, we’ll be announcing exactly why, though the photo above may give you a good idea. You don’t find fixer-uppers like this one every day (click on the photo to enlarge), and we’ll provide details on why it’s a terrific bargain, what more it will cost to finish it, and the considerable amount it will be worth on the day you walk in the door.

From the present owners: The designed is based entirely on construction specifications, lay outs, building materials and techniques used entirely by Spanish builders. Every single item and detail has been crafted by artisans from Morelos and Guerrero, and better than 5 years of labor has already gone into it. With the exception of the roof, the building foundation and main structural beams are steel and reinforced concrete, used to secure it’s engineering design. A masterpiece already, the land lots and layouts were also chosen to secure the best views of the always beautiful Cuernavaca Valley where unique weather conditions make it one of the world’s most perfect climates.

A system of natural cross-air window designs allows the house to always be fresh with the air from the Tzempoala forest. The kitchen and most other parts of the structure are made from stone walls covered with stucco which will allow users to always enjoy a fresh, warm environment, depending of weather conditions. Inside stucco applications and iron-work designs are hand made replicas from colonial buildings. Clay pieces were specially made and brought from Cholula in Puebla.

I’ll update this post when we load up some other pages that will highlight this incredible bargain, and the wonderful life it will certainly lend to the new owners.

But remember, we’re also scheduling Private Real Estate Tours in Cuernavaca and just about everywhere, right through June. There’s never an obligation and you’ll see homes all across Cuernavaca and the surrounding areas including the many small towns that make Morelos one of our favorites.
