Developed about 1960, this gated golf course community was for years the only golf course in San Miguel and as the grandfather, remains very popular with the expat and wealthy Mexican National community. As with all golf course communities, residents enjoy the security and amenities offered in such a setting and Malanquin now hosts a full 18-hole course and recently completed new clubhouse with the typical tennis/pool/restaurant amenities, as well as seasonal events for members. While the original Malanquin fairway-view community offers homes starting around $500K and climbing to $1MM or more—one home boasts a private helipad—the newer annex of Malanquin on the lake side can offer homes around $300K as this side of the community is just begging to grow. And the newest adjacent annex called Hoyo Trece offers beautiful new hillside homes, often with pleasant canyon, lake, or fairway views, all a short drive to Centro.
