Designed by Mexico's AD100 architecture firm Goma Taller, Hacienda El Aguacate is a masterclass in minimal intervention. The 30-hectare Querétaro estate transforms a stunning 19th-century mill ruin into a contemporary retreat, a dialogue between memory and modern design.

The estate offers two pools: an intimate courtyard pool and jacuzzi set within the original foundations, and a dramatic, 25-meter lap pool perched on an upper ridge, offering panoramic 360-degree views of the semi-desert landscape.

This restored ecosystem, complete with private trails and a reactivated river system, is a truly low-impact sanctuary that sleeps up to 18 guests in sophisticated style. It is not merely a renovation; it is an architectural act of homage.

Amenities at Hacienda El Aguacate include two pools, a hot tub, a paddle court, a soccer field, a chapel, WiFi, a full kitchen, a fireplace, river access, and a courtyard pool and jacuzzi set within the ruins, complemented by indoor/outdoor lounges, a hammock terrace, and daily cleaning service.
