Centro San Miguel de Allende boasts the city’s most elegant gated community, the 9-home La Fuente project master-designed by the renowned Queretaro architect Pedro Urquiza, renowned for his vaulted cathedral ceilings atop double-height living rooms—the trademark feature of Casa Elegante—but also known for extensive use of ornate carved-cantera corbels, window-trim, exterior cornice trim, even rain scuppers shaped like miniature cannons. The La Fuente common areas—including the concierge office, pool, clubhouse, parking garage and soon-to-be-completed gym—all boast these amazing features, as does each home.

Casa Elegante is one of only four Urquiza homes in La Fuente—only these four boasts double-height ceiling volumes flooded with south-facing light from multiple French doors and clerestory windows. Casa Elegante’s two-story mirror-topped fireplace amazes with elaborate carved-cantera detailing, and this estate boasts an elevator, dual primary suites with beamed ceilings and cantera fireplaces, both marble and cantera flooring, all-travertine bathrooms with oversized closets, and outdoor entertaining on every level, including an astounding all-city-view shaded roof terrace with full kitchen and firepit. Technical amenities include a water softener along with the expected whole-house water filtration system.

Ready to be impressed before you even step foot into the home? Enter through the grand intercom-accessible foyer—adjacent to the concierge office—pass by the Italian-style fountain, and marvel at ornate cantera column-topped balustrades seemingly from the Veneto, all before arriving at Casa Elegante. Plan on a double-length showing time—you’ll want to gawk at the common areas after strolling through the home—and bring your camera to capture the exquisite details abounding around every corner. Then plan to join me later for sunset atop the roof terrace, you’ll become addicted to watching the city light up the night sky by the firepit, Prosecco in hand, envisioning this as your nightly routine!
