Casa Caracol Rojo

Let’s talk about value! Located the length of a Cadillac off Guadiana’s Prolongacion de Aldama, the corner-lot Casa Caracol Rojo—watch for the big snail stone sculpture above the courtyard fountain!—offers two full homes in one, with an additional kitchenette casita suite. This home’s lower level includes the kitchenette casita suite and a separate apartment home—with abundant south-facing light—offering a full living/dining/kitchen with half bath and two en suite bedrooms, leaving the upper-level primary residence entirely private with maximized light, sun and views. All visitors enter a double French-door entryway adjacent to an oversized garage with plentiful storage with a staircase leading to the hacienda layout: the home wraps three sides of a light-filled and lushly landscaped courtyard anchored by a large fountain, while a charming hillside pathway staircase leads up to the tucked-away wet-bar flex room: party room, art studio, office, man cave, or play room for the grandkids. The second floor offers abundant light as it wraps the full courtyard with glass window-walls! The open-plan great room includes an impressive remote-operated cantera fireplace, with the dining room boasting a massive boveda dome ceiling—an outdoor dining terrace is also nearby—and the sunny south-facing kitchen offering abundant light with a large, center island. The large boveda-topped primary suite boasts an entire wall of windows and includes a fireplace, walk-in closets, built-ins and a large newly-remodeled dual-sink bathroom with multiple built-ins. The adjacent corner office boasts abundant light and is accessed either through the bedroom or from a separate exterior entrance, ideal for use as a business-client office. Located walking distance to the Jardin, this remodeled home offers all the expected amenities: five mini-splits, whole-house purification, electronic Dicalsafire decalcifier, and easy-access oversized electric-door garage. Bring your bird-spotting glasses to tour this home, the courtyard will enchant you at first visit with its botanical environment just begging for your tropical hammock…the Tiki Bar is optional!
