CASA ARTE

This striking Mexican modern residence is a masterful blend of architecture, nature, and artistic expression, thoughtfully designed to honor its surroundings and materials. Set at the foot of the Charco del Ingenio canyon, the home enjoys protected, unobstructed views a rare and enduring privilege that ensures both privacy and a deep connection to the landscape. Natural materials take center stage throughout the property: exposed stone walls, warm brick and wood floors, and handcrafted wooden beams create a grounded, timeless atmosphere that feels both authentic and elevated. Floor-to-ceiling steel-framed windows flood the interiors with natural light, dissolving the boundary between indoors and out while framing views of the canyon, gardens, and sky. At the heart of the home lies a magical central courtyard, anchored by a magnificent ancient tree, creating a serene, almost sacred gathering space. This living courtyard brings light, air, and a quiet sense of continuity to the entire residence. The interiors are eclectic, colorful, and art-forward, with bold yet harmonious design choices, vintage-modern details, and beautifully crafted doors inspired by 1970s modernist design. Each space feels curated rather than staged inviting creativity, conversation, and comfort. The home features an open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area, designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining. It offers two spacious bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, including a primary suite with a private lounge terrace that invites you to soak in the serene canyon views. Additionally, the property includes a generous studio room with its own half bath, easily adaptable as a third guest bedroom, with the potential to convert the half bath into a full bathroom. This flexible space is also ideal for use as a home office, yoga room, or art studio, offering versatility to suit a variety of lifestyles. The home features two distinct rooftop terraces: • One offering sweeping views over San Miguel de Allende’s downtown area. • The other opening toward the dramatic expanse of the canyon, ideal for sunset gatherings, quiet reflection, or stargazing The architectural language evokes its color, light, proportion, and local materials that are used not as decoration, but as emotional architecture. The result is a home that feels deeply Mexican, unmistakably contemporary, and profoundly livable. This is not just a house, it is a design-driven retreat, rooted in place, respectful of nature, and impossible to replicate.
