Casa Paraíso

Casa Paraiso proves an excellent investment opportunity for clients looking primarily for steady rental income and property value appreciation, while still being able to enjoy the home for two weeks a year! The Seller wishes to retain a life estate rental in the home—meaning a Buyer must allow the Seller to maintain a market-rate rental in the home for the balance of her life, then possession reverts to the owner—but she will allow the investor who purchases this estate use of the home for two weeks annually. For an investor, it’s the best of both worlds, with no need for property management fees yet access to a vacation home each year.

This 12-year-old warm-contemporary estate with an open-plan great room boasts a ground-floor bedroom currently used as an office, soaring two-story living room with abundant light flowing in from the central garden courtyard and front all-glass façade, elegant quartz kitchen, and oversized garage. Downstairs, the oversized bedroom serves as an ideal casita-like guest bedroom with large fireplace-anchored sitting area and plentiful closet and storage. Climb the open-rail stairs adjacent to the two-story living room—the volume is astounding!—to the private primary suite, complete with the most elegant chandelier-topped garden bath you’ve ever witnessed—the sink and vanity flow to an all-glass window wall opening to a private rooftop terrace, with an oversized spa-style wood-floor shower and adjacent soaking tub with an intimate fireplace. With the gated adjacent terrace accommodating a massage table, the primary bathroom becomes the most luxurious spa bath imaginable! It then connects to the entertaining roof terrace—boasting public access from the adjacent hall, or private access from the garden bath—with sun-worshiping chaise longes, and a covered sitting area adjacent to the wet-bar kitchen. The succulent-garden entry courtyard—it can be reverted back to the original reflecting-pool concept—and vine-covered gravel-floor courtyard—lifted from a Provence photo shoot!—prove easy maintenance.

Not quite ready for retirement in San Miguel, but looking to begin spreading your roots here? Casa Paraiso proves an ideal option, allowing two weeks a year of use for sunny holidays in Paradise.
