he eccentric
designer and former owner of Villa San Clemente, Clemente Jacques, looked to the
natural undulations and 
heaven-on-earth
peaks of his chosen spot and was inspired by the nearby monastery de Navidad,
built in the 16th century, to create a castle and chapel, now known
as Hacienda Clemente Jacques.
Current owner's representative, P. Hogan along with local architect A. Moctezuma continue the legend with a new, equally spectacular home completely separated from the Castillo: Villa San Clementito.
The separate chapel, unconsecrated because of a dispute
between the eccentric Jacques and the local parish priest, has a conference
table and chairs for simultaneous group activities or private research.
San
Clementito justifiably claims to be in a magical place, one hour from
Mexico City and a million miles from its bustle. You will pass
wild flowers, butterflies, craggy mountains and jagged cliffs, through a
landscape of mystical fantasy, to enter the gates of Villa San Clementito.
Claimed as the birthplace of Quetzalcoatl, you experience a legendary power that is born of the great plumed serpent. This dramatic land of Quetzalcoatl definitely directed Jacques and Hogan in their choice and use of native materials.
Down from the Villa you reach the tennis court and walk through the meadow to
observe the cleverly designed aqueduct system, which provides both fresh and
agricultural water for homestead and property needs.

It may be only a myth that attracts writers, artists and seekers of enlightenment and power to these parts, but natural beauty has always been a concept closely associated with heaven.

available for conferences,
retreats, family gatherings and short term rental.
