Finca El Ensueño is a newly-completed country estate nestled within a secure gated community of four properties, in an exclusive natural environment just twenty minutes from the vibrant historical center of San Miguel de Allende. On the main road to the community of Jalpa, this secluded tree-lined custom-designed property sits on 1 hectare (2.5 acres), and is fully fenced, with an electric gate and extensive camera security system. The complex employs a full-time security guard 7 days a week who patrols the property and is available from 7pm to 7am.
Privacy, comfort, security, and serene tranquility can be yours in this contemporary luxury 474 m2 (5,100 sq ft) compound. The impressive Main House and separate Casita are perched on a gently sloping hillside, and offer magnificent panoramic views of the countryside and Picacho Mountains.
The Main House features 2 light-filled spacious master bedroom suites, each with full bath, and separate large walk-in closet. The Great Room and open kitchen overlook a luxurious and tranquil solar-heated circular pool and spa with expansive vistas to the south. The Great Room also features a stylish wet-bar, dramatic reflecting pools, and indoor planters directly beneath expansive skylights that fill the space with natural light. The spacious kitchen has custom-built cabinetry, a large island, 5 burner 90cm range and sparkling granite countertops. Plenty of space to move around! There is a convenient and separate pantry/laundry room, and a large powder room. Both bedrooms and the Great Room feature spacious verandahs with toung and groove pine cielings, dramatic stonework and privacy. The verandah for the Great Room has a wood burning fireplace and wetbar.
A step away from the Main House is the spacious and private Casita which has 1 BD, 1 BA, a full kitchen, living area, and closet with laundry hookups. The Casita has a separate light filled room for a home office or artist’s studio. There is also an attached one-car garage with automatic door opener.
This country estate was designed and built with sustainability and energy-saving in mind. The walls of the Main House and Casita were built with structural concrete insulated panels. These walls, partly clad with rustic river-stones sourced entirely from the property, give an authentic Mexican Country feel, and provide an extra layer of protection from the elements. No need for air-conditioning in the summer here, high up in the temperate mountains of Central Mexico. For the mild winter months, there is a five-zone radiant heating system which guarantees more comfort in heating. Who could resist the sensation of walking bare-foot on a heated floor? Together with the strengthened high-density expanded polystyrene roof panels, this whole complex has a high energy-saving insulation capacity for year-round comfort. There is a 3kW solar PV system to keep energy costs to a minium. The pool and spa have 8 solar panels for heating which keep the pool at a comfortable temperature year-round.
Another valuable feature is the use of rain harvesting technology. Rainwater collected from the roof is channeled into large cisterns built beneath the entire complex. The water is saved for future use and is triple-filtered to produce water that is pure enough for drinking, cooking, cleaning, bathing, and watering plants.
The panoramic valley view with inspirational sunrises, dramatic sunsets, and the sweet melody of songbirds, invite you to enjoy this natural heaven.
