"La Finca de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe" is a four-lot estate in Santa Monica, California, near Malibu, that formerly belonged to the late José Mojica (1895-1974), a renowned Mexican actor, opera singer, and priest in Peru. This magical place is appraised at approximately $26 million. The expansive Spanish-style stucco residence, designed by Merril Baird, was constructed in 1929.
The La Senora Research Institute hosted a conference and a series of commemorative events to mark the second anniversary of José Mojica's birth. During these events, the public had exclusive access to the mansion, his biography and, most importantly, his movies.
