Casa Lua

The exotic and amazing Casa Lua—in addition to boasting stunning updated Spanish Colonial elegance—offers the best of every buyer’s wish list in San Miguel de Allende: 1) 10-minute flat walk to the Jardin 2) ground floor master suite for one-level living 3) kitchenette casita 4) exotic tropical gardens with lawn area 5) guest room with separate entrance 6) covered garage parking 7) and all the technical amenities, from mini-splits in two upper bedrooms to whole-house water filtration and R.O. in the kitchen.

This eight-year-old fully-furnished home was built by an American woman designer with elegant finishes—from the antique double French-door entry to the wow-factor cantera stone fireplace—and an open-plan great room with southern-facing French doors for great light & winter sun in the dining and kitchen. The ground floor master suite—with a dual-sink oversized bathroom—opens directly to a covered fireplace-anchored terrace for sangria lunches and snoozy siestas…you’ll adore it!

The 2nd floor boasts a large fireplace-lit media room with abundant southern light separating two bedrooms, one with its own terrace and separate entrance for those guests who come and go at all hours. Upstairs, a dual-terrace casita with kitchenette & dining area boasts glass walls on three sides—your sunny bird’s nest in the sky, guests will never leave! And the roof terrace above boasts a forever protected view of the Parroquia and all of Centro for those moonlit nightcaps—after all, Casa Lua means “moon house” in Portuguese.

Don’t hesitate to see this grand estate, rarely does one find such a combination of “must-haves” in one home in a less-than-seven-figure price range. Be forewarned—you’ll be ready for a post-sangria siesta in the garden after touring this home with me, be prepared to kick off your shoes for a while!
