Casa Mariposas • Offered at: $750,000 USD

In San Sebastian del Oeste, the Pueblo Mágico (Magic Town) nestled in a valley high in the Western Sierra Madre just east of Puerto Vallarta, you'll find Casa Mariposas.

This private country compound consists of a main home with 2 bedrooms + den 2.5 baths, a 1 bedroom 1 bath guest house and a caretaker's quarters that is a separate 1 bedroom home (which could be converted to 3 bedrooms).

The estate consists of over 6,000 m2 of land planted with avocados and fruit trees, offering privacy and tranquility. The home is reached by a semi-private cobblestone road with the front entry of the property being gated and the entire compound fully fenced. Sufficient open space exists for development of additional casitas if desired.

The primary home is new and is a masterpiece of hand-laid stone and woodbeam architectural styling. Like a marketing creation from California's Restoration Hardware, the interior is decorated and designed for comfort and entertainment. The main living/dining/kitchen area is entirely open with exposed beamwork and has 2-story vaulted ceilings, creating a lodge atmosphere. The floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace is a focal point of this area. Both bedrooms also enjoy stone fireplaces for warmth and décor.

The main kitchen has new professional-grade stainless steel appliances juxtaposed with beautiful hand-painted tilework and natural parota cabinetry and countertops. Doors and windows throughout the home are custom-designed to offer natural air and light circulation, have screens, as well as security when not in residence. The entire home opens to a large covered porch that spans the south side of the home, offering beautiful views of the grounds and foliage.

Relaxation and entertainment are the hallmark of this stunning home. The outdoor kitchen and adjoining patio provide the ideal venue for entertaining friends and family. A covered wet-bar/BBQ area with abundant work surfaces is ideal for the outdoor chef. There is also a covered sitting area with its own stone-covered fireplace for those chilly evenings to sip a hot toddy.

Systems of the house include new plumbing and on-demand hot water systems, generator, full laundry/storage room with stack washer/dryer and abundant storage rooms/spaces throughout the property. Satellite TV (U.S.) with 3 meter parabolic, telephone with wireless internet throughout the main home, and 2-car covered parking. The property is connected to City water and sewer.

This is an ideal summer retreat, retirement home or potential boutique hotel investment opportunity, being only 10 minutes' walk to San Sebastian town center and about 45 minutes from Puerto Vallarta.
