Casa Aldea

 

Completed in 2015, this distinctive and gracious home was designed and built by leading architect Sebastian Zavala, using old-world techniques and materials such as stone arches, cantera stone floors, beamed wood ceilings and solid wood doors giving an enchanting feeling of days gone by. However, the property also includes the best up-to-date, state-of-the art systems that any discerning buyer would expect such as whole-home water purification and pressurization systems; chef-grade kitchen appliances and butler's pantry; solar electricity; spacious, bright and elegant bathrooms, some with soaking tubs; and aesthetically pleasing furniture but made for relaxing with friends and family in mind. 

 

This stunning resort-like estate property is located in one of the most sought-after neighborhoods of San Miguel de Allende, called La Aldea in Centro. Tucked into an exclusive residential barrio that offers quietude and safety, La Aldea is just a one minute walk to shops and restaurants, a five minute walk to the Rosewood Hotel and about a 10 minute walk to the Jardin, the town's main square, with its incomparable pink Parroquia, or parrish church. 

 

The open-concept living room, dining room and kitchen are ideal for entertaining a crowd but intimate enough for small gatherings. And as beautiful as the interior spaces of this stunning home are, it's the multiple outdoor spaces, both covered and open to the gorgeous clear blue skies San Miguel is famous for, that will take your breath away. And while this property is designed to host large groups of friends and family, it is also designed to ensure privacy and quiet areas to read a book, have a nap or just contemplate the surrounding beauty. The large garden offers enough room for a game of touch football or badminton! And if it's indoor games or TV you want to enjoy with your guests, the second level of this gorgeous home has a very comfortable media room for all to gather and play. 

 

The property includes five beautiful en-suite bedroom suites, one of which is an independent casita with small kitchen and sitting area, located on the main level. The master bedroom suite is also conveniently located on the ground floor and has access to its own private garden space. Also on the main level is the office and guest bath with easy access to the large, Balinese-inspired swimming pool and outdoor jacquzzi heated by solar with a gas back-up system.
