Description

On November 17th , 1777, the estate became part of the ‘Selva Nevada’ Marquis granted by King Charles III to Mr. Manuel Rodriguez de Pinillos y López Montere. During that time, the estate covered land and ranches in Puebla and Tlaxcala. Years later, it went on to the Marquise Soledad Gutierrez de Rivero Martínez y Pinillos, who, on her second marriage, united to an English man, Don Tomás Gillow. Don Tomás married then her deceased wife’s heir and daughter, Miss Mara y Zavalza y Gutiérrez.

The colonial architecture that characterizes this house is quintessential of the epoch it wasconstructed. The grand building exposes details that reflect the influence of Spanish colonialism in Mexico.

Extensive gardens with fountains and green areas surround the property. These open spaces were used for both recreational activities and agriculture. One of the most emblematic features of the property is the existence of an artificial lake. Not least, you can find a small castle in the middle of the lake.
