Home Tour

Recently, we went on a home tour sponsored by an organization here in Mazatlan called "Pro Mexico". Every year they arrange a tour of six beautiful homes in Mazatlan. The owners donate their homes for a day, and those of us on the tour get to see wonderful examples of interesting architecture and interior design. We traveled around in buses donated for the occasion. The tickets were $30 US and all proceeds were donated to the Pro Mexico organization. Pro Mexico is a private, no profit, volunteer organization that focuses on Health and Education programs for the needy. They sponser several events each year, including this annual home tour.


We toured two homes in the very expensive neighborhood of El Cid and two in the newer part of Mazatlan, a home over 100 years old in historic old town owned by a couple from Scottsdale, AZ and one up on a high cliff over looking the ocean. The owner of this home is from Sacramento, CA. The home has 18,000 square feet in the interior and 5,000 square feet of deck area with 7 terraces. There are five guest bedrooms, one master suite, and an office above. There are two Jacuzzis, two swimming pools with a connecting walkway. On this level there is a game room and theater with a huge screen. It was just an amazing home.

Here are some pictures that we took but they just don't do justice to how incredible this home is.


Six levels

Spiral staircase to 2nd level

Looking down from I'm not sure which level - got a little lost.

Another shot looking down

How about this bathtub with a view?

Beautiful tile work on one of the terraces.

Many mural paintings throughout.



More beautiful tile work on the stairs.

Swimming pools with swimup bar stools.

And how about a banana tree?

With your own theater.

Very comfortable theater seating for 8. Just incredible!!
