House buy in El Vivero Zacatecas

San Miguel Architect Luis Camarena is renowned for his light-filled modernist homes, of which Casa Luz is a prime example. Just steps from EL Charco de Ingenio, San Miguel's botanical garden and world-class nature preserve, Casa Luz is surrounded on all four sides of the house with mature growth trees and a variety of local flora, creating a calming view of nature from every window in the house. At the street level, the outdoor facade opens onto a wide, very private multi-level terrace with various seating areas. The terrace has a serene zen garden sensibility, with a tall jacaranda tree and large cactus garden on either side. The front door brings you into a hallway which leads to a soaring two-story, art-filled living/dining room. A stunning floor-to-ceiling glass wall floods the room with natural light and leads to an outdoor side terrace. Custom light fixtures hang from the high wood-beamed ceiling and a tall fireplace anchors the far wall. A den on this floor illustrates Camarena's love of natural light with his signature corner windows. This sophisticated house is furnished in a warm neutral palette with pops of color that are reminiscent of the aesthetic of Luis Barragan, internationally renowned mid-century Mexican architect. The large kitchen is a chef's dream with top-of-the line appliances, abundant counter space and storage, and a smoothly polished concrete center island. A glass door leads to the front terrace and grill area for easy outdoor dining and entertaining. The first-floor guestroom has an en-suite bath, fireplace and French doors that open onto a secluded outdoor seating area. The staircase to the second floor leads to a long gallery that overlooks the living/dining area, contributing to the open and spacious feel of the house. At the front end of the gallery is a master suite with fireplace, private terrace and two large walk-in closets. The very luxurious master bath has an adjacent outdoor hot tub. Another room, currently used as an office, is at the other end of the gallery. A large rooftop deck, partially covered, faces west, offering vistas for miles and spectacular sunset views. Casa Luz is an extraordinarily beautiful modernist house, fully furnished, with every possible amenity. Its location is perfect for those who like to walk and hike in nature and appreciate an architecturally significant home that personifies San Miguel's unique indoor-outdoor lifestyle. * Price: $650,000 USD * Neighborhood: Balcones * Construction: 327.46 m2 * Land Area: 600.40 m2 * Bedrooms: 2 * Bathrooms: 2 * Garage: 1 * Property Type: New * Property Status: Exclusive * Half Baths: 1
