GORGEOUS & UNIQUE Mansion for sale in Cuernavaca, Mexico!

Located 50 minutes south of Mexico City, this gorgeous mansion in Cuernavaca was built by a Spanish adventurer escaping the horrors of the Spanish Civil War. In his search for an ideal location to build his dream home, he heard of a unique historical site with year round spring weather where Aztec Royalty spent their weekends. Known as the "Land of Eternal Spring", this colonial city was the weekend home in the 16th century to Hernan Cortes,the Spanish conqueror; and also to Prince Maximilian 1st when France invaded Mexico in the 1800's. Among Mexicans, Cuernavaca is best known as weekend home for affluent Mexico City residents,and a known tourist spot for European and U.S. tourists.
