Rancho Sabinal del Arroyo – Exclusive property with abundant water, centuries-old trees, and exceptional privacy Rancho Sabinal del Arroyo is a one-of-a-kind property located just 25 km from Guadalajara, near La Capilla del Refugio in Ixtlahuacán de los Membrillos. Its greatest value lies in its extraordinary natural setting, year-round water abundance, and fully wooded landscape. The property comprises 11.3 titled hectares ; however, as it is surrounded by federal land, the usable area extends to approximately 14 hectares . This condition ensures enhanced privacy, natural protection, and an open perimeter free of surrounding construction. Three sides of the ranch are bordered by the Arroyo de los Sabinos , while one side adjoins a diversion canal from the Atequiza Canal . This setting allows the meadows to remain green most of the year and guarantees a constant water supply, making the ranch ideal for retreat projects, light agricultural use, tourism, or long-term investment. Vegetation is one of its most remarkable features: approximately 3,000 trees grow throughout the property. Highlights include centuries-old Montezuma cypresses (ahuehuetes) , estimated to be between 300 and 400 years old , with trunk circumferences exceeding 10 meters in some specimens. Willows, ash trees, mulberries, and tipu trees are also present; the latter bloom in spring, covering the landscape in a distinctive yellow hue. The main house is situated on a natural island surrounded by two lagoons . Its architecture draws inspiration from 17th- and 18th-century traditional constructions , featuring deep stone foundations and high-quality finishes. The immediate surroundings offer generous shade, water reflections, and an atmosphere of exceptional tranquility. At the entrance of the ranch stands a stone tower , accessed via a vehicular bridge—the only automobile access point to the property. This area includes a circular bench seating approximately 20 people , set beneath dense tree cover alongside the stream. The ranch also features a stable complex , including a storage area, stables, a tack room, and additional structures that support the property’s functionality. Hydraulic infrastructure is a key asset and includes: Gravity-fed irrigation throughout the entire property Four stone dams to regulate water levels A 3-meter-high levee , covered with trees, protecting the land during potential overflow from the diversion canal Meadows of African Star grass , which remain green most of the year and turn a golden hue during frost season A red tezontle road runs parallel to the stream across the property, built with layers of stone, gravel, and fine aggregate. This road enhances internal circulation while allowing enjoyment of the surrounding landscape. Rancho Sabinal del Arroyo is ideal for those seeking: A natural setting of high ecological value A retirement, tourism, or eco-development project A private investment with rare and hard-to-find characteristics in the region A secure, private environment surrounded by water and mature woodland An extraordinary property, ready for multiple uses, distinguished by a natural environment unlike any other in the area.
