Casa La Vista

Fabulous luxury light-filled home priced to sell is perfect for entertaining and elegant living. Mexican modern in Barragan style, the home was designed and built by two architects: architect Charles Pagan and Architect Patricia Merrill Márquez. It is an easy 15 minute downhill walk into the center of town and a comfortable walk back for those in good shape, or an easy taxi ride back. It is located above the Balcones neighbourhood on a private gated cul-de-sac, on the edge of a cliff overlooking the ravine and the Presa del Obraje dam. The views at night are spectacular. El Charco botanical gardens has a lower entrance steps away, and the upper entrance is a 15 minute walk...nature everywhere. Including cacomixtles (ringtail cats) and racoons...not to mention all the birds. The main living area is spacious and was worked by interior designer Theresa Wachter, with several fountains, plants and extensive outdoor covered decks accesible from many areas, with views and a built-in grill area. Roofed in a reticular slab, the entire roof top provides strength and thermal insulation and is also easily accessible for entertaining or just sitting to enjoy the sunset as you have a drink and some snacks. The adjoining private casita has a bedroom and a living/dining area, bathroom and kitchen, with a private deck overlooking the canyon and access to the roof deck. A separate studio is perfect for your hobbies, art or otherwise. Below this studio there is another room with full bath that can function as an extra bedroom...or be a living space for 2 rooms in the basement that can be set up as bedrooms. This basement also has 3 storage rooms. The carport can hold several cars, and one garage space is covered with direct entrance to the kitchen. The home has first class finishes, is furnished and has an alarm system.
