In 1616, Hernando Aragonés built the first residence with an orchard. In 1776, Ramón Goicochea unified the properties into a 40-hectare hacienda. In 1906, the San Angel Land Company purchased the hacienda and subdivided it to establish a colony called Altavista. The Jesuits used the facilities of the old hacienda from 1955 to 1961 for the Schools of Architecture, Design, and Art History at Universidad Iberoamericana. On June 13, 1963, the "Antiguo San Angel Inn" restaurant was inaugurated.
