This stunning hacienda style home is located in the quiet residential community of Los Frailes, just minutes away from the UNESCO world heritage city of San Miguel de Allende. It is being offered for the first time on the market! Designed by a skilled architect who worked on the restoration of many of the city’s landmark buildings after the California San Francisco earthquake in the 1990´s and the historic Cathedral Basilica of St Joseph in San Jose, the inspiration for this beautiful home is the traditional craftsmanship Mexico is so famous for. Many quality details include cantera arched center courtyard with fountain, multiple brick bovedas, handmade saltillo tile floors, solid caoba wood doors and wood beam ceilings found throughout this 7 bedroom / 8 bath + 2 half bath property.
Curb appeal abounds with the façade and its large iron gates and the multiple symmetrical towers with their white stucco and brick detail which contrast sharply against the blue skies.
Step inside to a large inner courtyard with center fountain and you will immediately feel the tranquility of the spaces which were the intention of the owners who originally designed it as a spiritual center, later a successful small B & B. Five bedrooms en suite, four surrounding the center courtyard, each have their own private patio and are located on the ground level. In addition there is a grand room with coffered ceilings and a center fireplace with a scalloped shell motif. Several arched windows spill out to the back gardens and a wall fountain. A large kitchen with center island features a sweet sunny breakfast nook. A stone subterranean staircase reveals a large entertainment room equipped with a bar and wine cellar and could also serve as a gym or home theater.
First level features two additional bedrooms, also with private patios. The spacious master suite has its own private sitting room with fireplace. There is an additional area with double sided fireplace that lends itself naturally to a library or office area. The large roof terrace has a covered area and showcases the presa, or reservoir. Beautiful sunsets can be enjoyed from this panoramic view of the natural preserve.
The home is situated on a large 845 m2 lot and is surrounded by three separate lots which may be purchased as a package with the home for $975,000 USD which offers the home incredible privacy with its many mesquite trees and provides additional options for its use.
Partially furnished, this home needs minimal updating to make it a spectacular residence!
