The Property
Three private acres behind a wall of green
Quinta San Gabriel is a private country estate on more than three acres of flat, manicured land in Xico, one of Veracruz's Pueblos Mágicos — surrounded by coffee country, waterfalls and cloud forest in the highlands below the Cofre de Perote volcano.
Two brick houses stand on the grounds: a single-storey main house built around a wide covered porch, and a separate two-storey guest house. A stable with stalls for nine horses, cobblestone drives, a fountain court and wide lawns under mature trees complete an estate that works equally well as a family home, a multi-generational retreat, an equestrian property, or the base for an eco-lodge or wellness project.
Everything is enclosed by a perimeter wall. Inside the gate, the town disappears — what remains is birdsong, green, and mountain air.
Land & Water
Its own spring, its own stream
A rare advantage in the highlands: living water on the land itself.
The land carries a natural spring (nacimiento) and a stream (arroyo) that runs through the grounds — water for gardens, for animals, and for any future eco or hospitality project, in a region where that is never taken for granted.
- 12,696 m² (3.14 acres) of flat land, fully enclosed by a perimeter wall
- Pasture ready for horses, beside the 9-stall stable
- Gardens and groves — wide lawns, a bamboo grove, mature shade trees
- Mountain views toward the Cofre de Perote
- At 1,361 m, a mild highland climate all year — no air conditioning or heating needed most days
The Houses
Two houses, one estate
Residence One
The main house
Single storey, built in warm brick in 2002. An open-plan living and dining room with a fireplace, a large country kitchen with Talavera tile, 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, and a wide covered porch that runs along the house — the natural centre of daily life in this climate.
- 3 bedrooms · 2 bathrooms
- Open-plan living & dining with fireplace
- Large country kitchen
- Covered porch and arched garage front
Residence Two
The guest house & stable
A separate two-storey brick building with its own living room, kitchen, 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, and parking below — ideal for visiting family, a caretaker, or rental income, entirely independent of the main house.
The stable (caballeriza) with stalls for nine horses stands by the pasture and is included in the sale, along with the guest house.
- 2 bedrooms · 1 bathroom, two storeys
- Stable with 9 stalls, included
- Parking for 4+ vehicles across the estate

A table set by the region
This corner of Veracruz is known across Mexico for what it grows and what it cooks: high-altitude coffee from Coatepec's fincas, the mole of Xico, and the seafood cuisine of the Veracruz coast — pescado a la veracruzana chief among it. Waterfalls thread the green hills around town, and the Pescados river offers some of Mexico's best-known whitewater rafting.
Xalapa, the state capital, brings universities, museums — including the Museo de Antropología and its colossal Olmec heads — hospitals and an airport connection via Veracruz, all within easy reach, while daily life in Xico stays quiet, green and unhurried.
