Villa Celestial
Some homes are designed to impress. Villa Celestial was designed to be lived in.
Just a few peaceful blocks from the Jardín Principal in San Miguel de Allende's UNESCO World Heritage historic center, this remarkable residence was designed by renowned Harvard educated Mexican architect Pedro Urquiza. European vaulted arches, traditional cantera and adobe, soaring hand painted bóveda ceilings, and extraordinary craftsmanship come together to create a home that is both architecturally significant and exceptionally comfortable.
A tranquil courtyard with an artisan fountain welcomes you into a series of beautifully connected living spaces, including a dramatic two story salon with a carved cantera fireplace, an elegant dining room beneath a hand painted bóveda ceiling, a sun filled loggia, and a beautifully appointed kitchen featuring a mesquite island, Talavera tile, custom cabinetry, hammered copper sink, and striking copper backsplash.
The upper level offers three bedrooms. Two guest bedrooms occupy their own private wing and share a beautifully appointed Talavera bathroom, while the serene primary suite enjoys its own private hallway, carved cantera fireplace, dual walk in dressing rooms, and a spacious en suite bath with soaking tub and mountain views. A convenient full guest bathroom is also located on the main level.
A dramatic interior bridge overlooks the soaring salon below and leads to a private office or reading room. The lower level expands the home's versatility with a spacious game room centered around its own fireplace, along with a generous bonus room that can easily serve as a wine cellar, home theater, fitness studio, art studio, library, or hobby room.
Outdoor living is equally memorable. The rooftop terrace features a covered sala supported by carved stone columns, flowering planters, expansive mountain and valley views, and a peaceful setting where church bells and evening fireworks become part of everyday life.
Additional features include an enclosed garage, solar electric system, whole house water purification and softening systems, dual reverse osmosis filtration, and an alarm system. Weekly housekeeping and twice weekly gardening are included in the lease, while utilities are the responsibility of the resident. Available for a minimum three month lease. Exceptionally well mannered pets will be considered with owner approval.
