From the Agent: "Villa ITO is located just 20 minutes from the historic center of San Miguel de Allende on a scenic drive that takes you past small, family-run farms nestled between fields of nopales, cornfields, mesquite trees, and sage. Turning left off the main road, you come to a narrow lane that bends gradually up a slight incline into the valley. The road widens to reveal the heart of the valley and Villa ITO. Blending with the muted browns and grays of the rising landscape, the villa is an expansive six-acre property that merges authentic Mexican accents, modern concrete construction, and forms of Japanese design that emphasize uncluttered space and a relationship to nature."
