Exekatlkalli~ House of The Winds, the vacation home of Dolores Olmedo Patiño and the site of Diego Rivera's Acapulco studio. This urban estate includes five magnificent murals created by Diego Rivera as a celebration of his adoration and respect for his lifetime friend Dolores "Lola" Olmedo, including “Pre-Hispanic Motifs and Love Letter and Aquatic Joys”. These murals are the last murals Diego Rivera completed before his death in 1957.
This idyllic and secure 29,700 square foot walled urban estate is spectacularly sited on hillside overlooking the Pacific Ocean, the cliffs of La Quebrada cliff diver platform, and the yacht club harbor hosting the Acapulco Marina. Originally constructed in the 1940's, House of The Winds is a 5961 sf / 553 sm two story home with three bedrooms and three bathrooms on the first floor, and a one bedroom / two bathroom master suite on the second floor. Living and great rooms flow seamlessly onto spectacular wrap-around decks, as does the second floor master suite. The home features huge windows that provide lovely natural interior lighting and magnificent vistas from every part of the house.he entire compound is dense with beautiful, mature, tropical foliage, and hosts a large inground pool which is adjacent to the formal outdoor entertainment space. The Diego Rivera Studio Acapulco is a 3785 sf / 351 sm freestanding building within the compound. The Studio is host to Diego Rivera's wall-to-wall ceiling mural on the second floor, and a mosaic ceiling on the patio. There is a full-footprint rooftop terrace, and a carport and caretaker's one bedroom apartment on the ground level.
This property is a cultural landmark, and represents a unique opportunity to acquire the historical estate of Dolores Olmedo and Diego Rivera Studio with all murals attached to property. Absolutely stunning estate, architecture and history combined. |
