About this property
ANANA San Rafael 1BD | Lake Chapala Waterfront, Pool & Hiking
Summary:
Wake to Lake Chapala at your doorstep. This 1-bedroom house on the water's edge in Ajijic faces mountain views and palm-shaded afternoons. Your pool and hot tub terrace invite morning coffee and evening sunsets. Mountain trails start half a block away. The center of town is a short walk. A responsive caretaker keeps everything running smoothly.
The Space:
EXTERIOR. Step onto your terraza facing Lake Chapala. The alberca and hot tub sit in the foreground, palm trees filtering afternoon light. Mountain views anchor every moment you spend outside.
KITCHEN. Full cookware, dishes, silverware, and coffee maker await. Cook family meals or simple breakfasts. Everything you need is here.
BEDROOM. One recámara with quality bed linens and clothing storage. Rest well before hiking or exploring.
BATHROOM. 1.5 bathrooms with essentials: body soap, conditioner, towels. Enhanced cleaning practices throughout.
LIVING SPACES. Dining table for gathering. Cable TV in the living area. Comfortable, lived-in spaces designed for families and couples seeking peace, not performance.
OTHER. Free parking on premises. Dryer and freezer for extended stays.
LOCATION. On the shore of Lake Chapala, walking distance to Ajijic center. Morning rooster calls remind you where you are. Cycling, hiking, and lakeside strolls are your neighbors.
The Neighborhood:
The neighborhood. Ribiera de Chapala is where Lake Chapala's shoreline defines everyday rhythm—a quiet, walkable stretch where morning light catches the water and rooster calls drift across gardens. This is charming Mexico: palm-shaded terraces, local cafés a short stroll away, and the kind of peace that makes you forget why you ever needed a schedule. The villa sits on the water's edge, surrounded by natural beauty—mountains rise half a block away with hiking trails ready for exploration, while the lake stretches endlessly in front. Ajijic's center, full of galleries, restaurants, and local character, is just a pleasant walk. The property itself is large and well-maintained, with a beautiful alberca and hot tub terrace facing those stunning views. A responsive caretaker ensures everything runs smoothly, leaving you free to settle into the rhythm of mornings with roosters, afternoons shaded by palms, and evenings over the water. This is the rare place where nature surrounds you completely, yet everything you need remains within reach.
Getting Around:
Getting around. Free parking is always available on the premises, and this location is deeply walkable—Ajijic center is reachable on foot in minutes for restaurants, shops, and local color. The shoreline position means you're oriented to water and mountains rather than highway noise. The property sits half a block from mountain hiking trails, offering immediate access to natural exploration. For longer journeys, Guadalajara's airport and train station are roughly an hour away by car, connecting you to Mexico's broader network while you remain anchored in this peaceful lakeside setting.
