Casa Shangri-La

Casa Shangri-La is that rare jewel, a huge ¼ acre garden-terraced lot—imagine the Cinque Terre, but greener! —with valley views from every single level, but only a short flat walk to the Jardin, or town square, of historic San Miguel de Allende. It’s city living with country gardens, so if you enjoy the bounty of blooms, this home is for you!

Located on a privada—a no-traffic cul-de-sac—this quiet estate faces all south, with excellent winter sun and light and bountiful street parking—in addition to the covered garage—for your grand fiestas! A detached full-home one-bedroom casita provides rental income or guest privacy, while the main home offers three bedrooms on the second floor with the master suite boasting a large valley-view veranda, boveda ceiling and walk-through shower for the his-and-hers bathrooms. The solarium entry foyer and great room flows all together, as many American buyers are accustomed to enjoying, with an outdoor dining terrace adjacent and multiple other smaller entertaining terraces, as well as a maze-like path among the upper gardens. And of course, sunsets or bird watching from the roof terrace prove spectacular!

Now green-thumb home seekers don’t have to choose between garden versus Centro-proximity, this home boasts both! The affordable gardener keeps it immaculate, but bring your garden trowel if you like when you come and tour this home with me, you’ll want to dig right in and make this home!
