About This Property

A singular hillside residence overlooking a protected canyon sanctuary, Casa Mirador is a rare & beautifully composed estate set within one of San Miguel de Allende's most coveted hillside enclaves. The property unfolds through a series of layered spaces, gardens, terraces & architectural details that reveal themselves gradually, each offering a distinct vantage point across the presa & surrounding landscape.

Rooted in colonial Spanish hacienda architecture, the home is defined by hand-crafted details & timeless materials: soaring bóveda ceilings, graceful arches, a striking central dome, an elegant library, a handcrafted wood & brick wine cellar & an expansive Spanish-style kitchen complete with an artisan oven for bread & pizza. Each bedroom features a custom cantera carved fireplace, & interior design was developed in collaboration with a renowned home & interior designer, with custom furnishings created specifically for the home.

The grounds are a defining feature. Landscape design blends high desert & semi-tropical elements into a layered garden experience that unfolds across multiple levels. Three distinct patios, each with its own fountain & ambiance, are connected by stone pathways & architectural elements, including an aqueduct feature that feeds into a koi pond. Additional exterior features include an Argentinian-style grill in a covered outdoor kitchen, custom lighting design with evening illumination across gardens & pathways & handcrafted lanterns throughout.

A substantial & fully independent three-bedroom, three-bathroom casita offers exceptional flexibility for guests, extended stays or rental income. Spacious second-level living areas, multiple balconies that open into the surrounding treetops & a preserved original bóveda ceiling anchor the casita's main living space. Above the two-car garage, a beautifully designed second-story studio provides a flexible space ideal for art, movement or quiet work, with an adjacent covered terrace with fireplace.

The upper levels of the home, including the rooftop cupola, primary suite terraces & upper guest spaces, offer layered views across the landscape. At the garden level, a spacious jacuzzi is positioned to take full advantage of these views, overlooking the presa, canyon & surrounding greenery. Technology & sustainability features include a Lutron lighting system with app-based controls, solar panel system, rainwater collection cistern & advanced water filtration with reverse osmosis in both kitchens.

Just a short walk from the jardín, Parroquia, cafés, markets & world-class dining, Casa Mirador offers immediate access to the cultural richness of San Miguel de Allende while remaining peacefully removed from the bustle, a rare offering where architecture, landscape & setting come together to create an experience that is both refined & deeply restorative.
