This rustic stone home in Queretaro Mexico is located within a gated community made up of just 9 exclusive residences and a common area with amenities such as a pool, bathrooms, barbecue, multipurpose room and pleasant gardens and the attractiveness of its impressive trees in Jurica, one of the most emblematic subdivisions of Querétaro.
Upon entering the residence, a welcoming hall leads you to a spectacular library with hardwood floors and a sculptural black marble veined fireplace. On this same floor there is an area for an office or guestroom for visitors.
The kitchen is worthy of a chef, equipped with a grill, hood, oven and Wolf brand tepanyaki plate, refrigeration drawers, separate freezer and Sub-Zero refrigerator, Miele dishwasher, pantry with thermal drawers and double cupboard, breakfast table. Nearby is the dining room with both wine and cigar refrigerators.
Upstairs is the primary suite with a beautiful mature tree growing just outside the window, giving the feeling of losing yourself to nature; there is also a large dressing room, a bathroom with marble floors and walls, a Jacuzzi, and his and hers vanities and water closets. There are two secondary rooms that can be organically integrated through a retractable wall as one large space, or closed off to create two bedrooms with private bathrooms, dressing rooms and terraces.
Fabulous property, both inside and out; Parota “Built in” furniture in the garden, natural oak flooring from Austria, Matte Italian porcelain floor, Hydronic heating in all interior areas, Lutron system that modifies the light throughout the house and automatically controls the blinds, and solar panels.
From different points of the property there is access to a beautiful central garden and terrace equipped with sink, grill and Wolf brand rotisserie and fire pit. Fruit trees, such as orange, green lemon, yellow lemon, tangerine, fresh guava, avocado surround the perimeter of the land.
It’s rustic luxury.
Very nice, but I'd hate to have to clean it. My favorite parts are the areas where the outdoor areas are visible. The kitchen leaves me cold.
ReplyDeleteI wish the kitchen had more windows to the garden.
DeleteMy favorite part is the kitchen. I would spend all my time in there. The outdoor area is nice, too. Something about the whole place, with the exception of the master bath and the kitchen, feels a bit claustrophobic. Could be the photos. Some very dramatic looking rooms. I can't imagine living in all that though. Kizzes.
ReplyDeleteSome of the rooms don't have any windows except those high up along the ceiling, so there's no views to the outside. That would bother me.

ReplyDeleteNice outside!
xoxo :-)
I do like the gardens, definitely.

😬 Gulp! It is far too much house for me and I don't think it would be smart for me to have a smart house that controls the heat and light and such....I might never get out of my chair!! And, I kinda like people, in theory, but being gated in with 8 other properties and shared common areas...I had a sci-fi nightmare like that once! Or, was it a "Twilight Zone" episode?! 😱
ReplyDeleteI'm not a fan of gated communities, especially ones THAT small. And it is quite a large space ... I need a downsize!
DeleteVery nice---Love the outside spaces---That's the best part about this home---Queretaro, Mexico is about a 3-hour drive North of Mexico City---Love the color of the wood---There is something about the interior that is not right---I can't put my figure on it---Maybe it's the aesthetic flow of it all---Your description brought two things to my attention---One- "are two secondary rooms that can be organically integrated through a retractable wall as one large space, or closed off to create two bedrooms with private bathrooms, dressing rooms, and terraces"---Love the idea of flexibility---Second-"Lutron system that modifies the light throughout the house and automatically controls the blinds, and solar panels"---With the yearly median temperature in the area being 59 degrees this system is neat but would be even better in places like Nevada and Arizona---I love the concept---I did a quick search on hydronic heating and it came back that this type of system heats one's home with hot water---Boilers heat but don't actually boil water, and then disperse it as either hot liquid or steam through pipes to radiators, coils, or radiant floor systems--- The system seems more complex than standard heating systems and more maintenance----Thank you for your choice this week---
ReplyDeleteIt has a lot going for it; so of space age, but then old school rugged.
DeleteDifferent!
ReplyDeleteI would like more windows to the outside, myself!
DeleteI really like this idea.
ReplyDeleteIt's LUXE, though. All that space? Money. I kind of like those high windows, though. And the whole indoor/outdoor feeling? Absolutely fab.
XOXO
It's a lot of space, though I do love the outdoor areas!
Deletexoxo
Maybe it's the political climate here that's clouding my view, but a gated community of only 9 residences shouts first target during a revolution. Or am I just too pessimistic these days, sweetpea?
ReplyDeleteI agree; it seems a little Purge target-y!
Deletexoxo
I love it! But it's too much house for just one person. And it's in the wrong country.
ReplyDeleteOh, I could live in Mexico in a heartbeat, though I'd prefer Merida or San Miguel de Allende.
DeleteOoohhh having all that greenery coming in from the outside. Just beautiful (especially what I take to be the dining room)!
ReplyDeleteIt does feel like an oasis.
DeleteThis is very impressive but it just doesn’t sing to me. Maybe it’s the cigar refrigerator. Blech!
ReplyDeleteYeah, that would have to go first and replaced with something nicer, like a wine fridge!!!
DeleteI like it. I am not sure about the location. I know two people who retired to Mexico.
