Welcome to the architectural masterpiece of Casa Lagerfeld, a one-of-a-kind residence located in historic San Miguel de Allende. Inspired by Karl Lagerfeld’s famed Villa la Vigie, this magnificent estate sits on a prime hillside location, offering breathtaking views of Centro and the iconic Parroquia. With its unique design and extraordinary craftsmanship, Casa Lagerfeld is a true testament to luxury living.
The home features exquisite finishes, including custom hand-troweled wall textures, stenciled floors, Etruscan-inspired murals, groin-vaulted ceilings, intricate antique Indian wood carvings, and custom cantera stonework. Additional highlights include raised-relief tile designs, built-in cabinetry, and stunning fireplaces. Among them is a remarkable Biedermeier-style fireplace crafted by renowned artisan Manuel Padron, a project that took over a year to complete. Every detail of this home reflects meticulous artistry and unparalleled elegance.
Designed for effortless living, the primary spaces are located on a single level, while the guest bedrooms and media room are situated on the lower floor. Guests are welcomed through a lush, linear garden that leads to a grand cantera-stone staircase, which can also be adapted for wheelchair access if desired. The dramatic groin-vaulted foyer greets visitors with its hand-troweled walls, stenciled floors, and a striking Fisher Wiesman gold-leaf chandelier.
The primary suite is a private retreat, occupying its own wing of the home. It features a grand cantera fireplace, dual balconies with city and garden views, custom built-ins, a seating area, and dual bathrooms with separate walk-in closets—perfect for harmonious living. The living room is equally impressive, with 14-foot stenciled and corbeled beam ceilings, a dual-sided fireplace, and oversized French doors that open to a veranda with a 12-person dining table and entertainment area. The expansive kitchen boasts a large island, Sub-Zero refrigerator, dual ovens, a built-in Miele espresso maker, an 8-burner DCS range, and an appliance garage, all connected to a charming courtyard with access to the garage and laundry.
The formal dining room, with its rich hardwood floors, is designed for grand gatherings. It features an optional custom stained-glass window from Chicago, a Haler wine fridge, and built-in Rinnai heaters. The home office, which can double as a fifth bedroom, includes a full bathroom, custom cabinetry, a removable Etruscan wall mural, a custom-cut-glass fireplace, and a balcony.
On the lower level, two spacious en suite guest bedrooms open to the lush gardens through beveled-glass French doors. The media room, complete with a wet bar and surrounded by antique Indian hand-carved wood screens, offers a cinematic experience with its hand-troweled ceiling and artful lighting. This space is perfect for entertaining or unwinding in style.
Outdoor living is equally spectacular. The entry garden sets a serene tone, while a stone-arch bridge leads to a private, fountain-centered secret garden off one of the guest rooms. The main-floor casita, accessible through a tropical koi pond courtyard, provides additional private accommodations. Above it all, the expansive rooftop terrace offers sweeping city views, a Parroquia-facing hot tub, a large cantera fountain, a fully equipped BBQ kitchen and wet bar, and cozy swing sofas under a pergola. It’s the perfect spot to enjoy San Miguel’s magical sunsets.
Casa Lagerfeld is a tribute to the artistry and elegance of design, offering a lifestyle of unparalleled luxury. This residence is not just a home; it’s a statement. Whether sipping champagne on the roof or enjoying the tranquil gardens, every corner of this estate promises to leave you breathless.
