French Colonial Elegance in the Heart of Ajijic Centro
Experience charm and sophistication in this rare French New Orleans-style residence, designed and built by Southern belle and debutante Idella Tooke. With timeless architectural details and a central-yet-private location, this home offers a unique lifestyle opportunity in one of Ajijic’s most desirable neighborhoods.
Located on a quiet cobblestone street in Ajijic Centro, this corner-lot property is just steps from the village’s vibrant shops, cafes, and cultural life—yet feels worlds away behind its thick, hand-carved wooden front door.
