The city of eternal spring is composed of a very unique geography which gives way to 7 gullies , on the edge of the Amanalco gorge ( which houses the former residence in exile of the Sha of Iran) lays this spectacular and eclectic residence. A few meters from the gardens of Acapatzingo, Morelos, is the entrance to the second private of Morelos guarded by security guards. A cobblestone path full of beautiful vegetation leads us to its discreet facade. Once the main door opens, its long, white corridor leads us to its beautiful triple height hall and social área, with a spectacular view of the canyon that takes our breath away.
The temperate climate that prevails most of the year in this área allowed such a particular construction; open living room, dining room and hall without any doors nor windows, ceiling fans and splendid siso curtains that fall from 8 meters high. In the center we find a wonderful infinity pool with terrace and sundeck.
All the floors in this residence are made of travertine marble from Puebla and red tinted polished cement.
On the right hand side we have a formal dining room, with its barbecue grill at the end and a small planter of aromatic herbs for cooking (Rosemary, lavender, basil, mint, peppermint, and oregano among others) and next door a family room to watch televisión, and within the same a small office with a full bathroom with shower. To the left we have the formal living room and to one side the kitchen that is a true oasis for those who like the culinary arts, with a huge pantry, 4 sinks and generous spaces for the preparation of food and drinks. Its appliances consist of Coriat industrial stove, SobrinoX refrigerator and dishwasher, the covers are made of white stone.

On that same floor we have an informal living room with a fireplace and a bar área with a pool table, covered with a spectacular Polynesian-style palapa.
Taking stairs to the lower floors, we have another recreational área, a large library with a full bathroom with tub and shower. At the exit of this room we have a charming terrace to enjoy the view of the canyon which leads us to a fourth guest room with a full bathroom. It is worth mentioning that all the bathrooms have travertine marble on floors and walls, 9mm tempered glass doors and the covers of the sinks are made of Emperor brown marble.
