Privada de Sol is an exclusive private community of 15 luxury homes in the hills above San Miguel de Allende. Casa Zen is ideally situated at the end of the Privada, overlooking all of San Miguel Centro and the countryside beyond. Its elegant contemporary design incorporates traditional Asian and Spanish Colonial architectural elements and furnishings. The result is a serenely beautiful home that perfectly integrates both indoor and outdoor spaces for maximum enjoyment and entertaining.
On the ground floor, the antique front door opens onto a wide foyer. A charming guest bedroom and ensuite bath are on this level. The entrance foyer leads to a three-story open-air atrium. A dramatic wall of water cascades down one side of the sleek staircase that leads up to the second floor. The entire second floor is a spectacular guest bedroom which includes a living area, hallway with custom-carved storage cabinets and a spacious bedroom with ensuite bath.
The third floor is designed around a dramatic open-air courtyard with a central reflecting pool – a common element of both traditional Colonial and Asian homes. It is surrounded by a covered colonnade, which leads into the primary family living spaces, including a living/dining area, gourmet kitchen and the primary bedroom suite. The bedroom suite has a carved fireplace, large dressing room/closet and luxurious bath with fireplace.
An open roof top terrace has unimpeded views of San Miguel and the distant mountains.
Casa Zen is an elegantly balanced combination of diverse architecture and interior design – it is a true dream house for a sophisticated and discerning homeowner.
