This one-of-a-kind modern masterpiece has a panoramic lake and mountain view from its spacious living areas and terraces. Comprising 450 square meters of construction on a lot of 855 meters that features a large garden of lush landscaping with native plants, the custom home was designed by local architect Anja Fauske Lorenzo in 2005 with inspiration from acclaimed Mexican architect Luis Barragan. It was envisioned as a veritable art gallery with ample wall space and nichos to display the owner’s private collection of original paintings and sculptures. The house features cantera limestone floors throughout and 4-meter-high ceilings in the main section of the house, plus four gas-log fireplaces to provide atmosphere as well as heat, in addition to four gas Rinnai wall heaters. There are three large bedrooms (each with en-suite bathroom and patio or terrace access) and also a smaller office/den with full bathroom, which could easily convert to a fourth bedroom.

An expansive covered terrace with a fireplace on the main level of the house is perfect for entertaining large groups of friends during breath-taking sunsets or for an intimate comida on sunny days when a wall of the home’s glass-accordion doors can be opened for indoor/outdoor living. An infinity reflecting pool flows over the edge of the terrace in a lighted stone waterfall into the garden below.

The rooms in the main house include the soaring living room with fireplace and cozy sitting alcove with a lighted onyx-topped bar, as well as a dining room with fireplace and its custom-designed cherry wood table with seating for eight. Granite counters line the large kitchen, which is a chef’s delight including a commercial stove/oven with separate salamander broiler unit, dishwasher, double stainless steel sinks and ample storage cabinets, plus a walk-in pantry. The kitchen is built facing a cactus garden courtyard surrounding an ancient mesquite tree. Also on this level is the grand, air-conditioned master bedroom suite with fireplace and built-in flatscreen TV, walk-in closet, marble-lined bathroom for two with private shower garden and a wall of windows providing a view of the distant mountains.

A powder room for guests, laundry room, large kennel/dog run and service quarters with full bath complete the layout of the main house. Accessible via an exterior flight of stairs is a roof terrace with utilities for future build-out and a 360-degree view of San Miguel and the surrounding countryside. Separately, the office/den is accessible from the garden level and the two other casita bedrooms with their own bathrooms and terrace areas are located at the front of the property.
