Historic Hacienda San Nicolas for sale cool info!

While surfing the web for histroy on Lagos de Moreno I found a website for real estate in Lagos de Moreno
and apparently Hacienda San Nicolas is for sale here''s a description, pics included. The stuff about Pedro Moreno
de Ortega are off because this person confused the revolution with independence.

HISTORICAL NOTE: This historical Hacienda began with only 395 acres, but King Phillip II of Spain asked Guadalajara to expand the territory to 1,877 acres on March 2, 1569, only 6 years after Lagos was founded. The main historical value of this Hacienda is that the child Don Pedro Moreno was baptised in the Chapel in this Hacienda. This child later became the insurgent General Pedro Moreno in the Mexican Revolution (during the same time period as Pancho Villa). The home of General Pedro Moreno is still seen here in the downtown area of Lagos de Moreno. During the 1700's, the Hacienda was owned by the influential family Rodriguez of Portugal. Today, it is ready for a new owner. Is it you?
This elegant, well maintained Hacienda is located only 12 miles from Lagos de Moreno, on the highway to Ojuelas and San Luís Potosí, then only 2 miles to the left. The property covers approximately 56 acres, includes a swimming pool, a Plaza de Toros, a large, beautiful Gazebo, a number of small apartments (12 or 13) being remodeled which could be used for tourism (ex-workers quarters to one side of the main home), 2 kitchens, I lost count of the number of bedrooms in the main home, each with it's own bathroom; one very large game room with a bar. It current has a pool table, and a number of tables and chairs. A number of beautifully designed hallways, and patios. The price is firm at $4.5 million dollars. If you are enchanted with this "one of a kind hacienda and have the money, I have many more photos. Please, only serious inquiries.
