Casa de la Vista offers a spectacular view across San Miguel de Allende, taking in the historic city’s terracotta rooftops, church towers, historic façades, surrounding hills, and the activity of the city below. From the rooftop terrace, sunsets settle over San Miguel, fireworks rise above the rooftops, and parades and celebrations make their way through the streets. It is a view that places you at the heart of the city while giving you the privacy of your own home.
The home was remodeled by architect Pedro Urquiza, a well-respected architect in San Miguel at the time. His thoughtful approach remains part of the character and flow of the house today.
A charming entry courtyard, framed by a handcrafted cantera water feature, welcomes you into a warm and inviting home. On the main level, the living and dining rooms gather around a gas fireplace, creating an intimate setting for everyday living and entertaining. The bright kitchen offers abundant storage, generous counter space, and a breakfast bar, with natural light and a view toward the courtyard and its cantera water feature.
Throughout the home, Mexican antiques, artwork, and collected pieces reflect the owner’s appreciation for the country she called home for ten years. The result is a house that feels personal and genuinely lived in, shaped over time by memories, discoveries, and a deep affection for San Miguel.
The second level offers two bedrooms and a dedicated office or study with a Juliet balcony and its own gas fireplace an inviting place to work, read, or simply take in the rooftops and city beyond.
The third floor offers a private principal bedroom suite with its own fireplace, full bathroom, and wet bar with mini refrigerator. Beyond it, the home opens to the rooftop terrace, the soul of Casa de la Vista. Here, San Miguel unfolds below in a panorama of rooftops, historic façades, church towers, and distant hills. Morning coffee, afternoon conversations, and sunsets all take on a different character from this vantage point. During San Miguel’s celebrations, the terrace becomes especially memorable, offering a front-row seat to fireworks, parades, music, and the lights of the city as evening falls.
The setting is equally significant. Located along historic Salida a Querétaro, the neighborhood has a fascinating connection to San Miguel’s cultural history. During Mexico’s Golden Age of Cinema, the area was home to and frequented by celebrated actors, singers, and artists drawn to its elevated position and extraordinary views. Nearby La Ermita was once the home of legendary Mexican actor and comedian Cantinflas, while the Mirador is marked by a statue honoring celebrated singer and actor Pedro Vargas.
Today, the same elevated setting continues to be one of the defining pleasures of life on Salida a Querétaro. Casa de la Vista offers not simply a place to live in San Miguel de Allende, but a way to experience the city from its rooftops and celebrations to its history and ever-changing views.
The home is offered unfurnished, with a furniture package available separately. The artwork is also available separately.
