Casa Tequila Sunset

Homes in historic San Miguel de Allende are valued on both their sight line and walking distance to our city’s iconic Eiffel Tower-like icon the Parroquia, and this home boasts both in spades! Perched well above the Salida a Queretaro—far enough to be away from traffic noise—Casa Tequila Sunset offers city-wide views from every room and is still accessible to the Jardin by walking, thanks to the adjacent Cruz del Pueblo staircase, a charming Italian-hilltown style staircase populated with adorable hillside homes. However, unlike those homes, Casa Tequila Sunset boasts a massive, oversized garage and even a lower basement that could be an astounding wine cellar!

A generous covered but exterior foyer segues into a grand interior two-story foyer with gurgle fountain that echoes throughout the home. This entry level offers two guest suites sharing a bathroom, with access to the laundry and garage. Upstairs, the open-plan great room boasts a generous wall of windows overlooking the entire city—and the covered dining terrace off the kitchen feels like a crow’s nest—while offering one-level living with the primary bedroom also on this level, complete with a small morning-coffee city-view terrace. While a roof terrace is entirely unnecessary, the flat roof could become an astounding entertaining space as well, with the addition of a staircase from the dining terrace. The quiet low-traffic dead-end street even offers guest parking for those Tequila Sunset parties!

Give us a ring for a showing, we’ll promise the same thrills from the 1988 movie—I’ll double for Mel, Caro doubles for Michelle—as you stroll this home and, um, “drink” in the expansive views. For that second showing at sunset, you don’t have to try hard to guess what we’ll be pouring!
