Casa del Arroyo

A Remarkable Colonial Residence in Ojo de Agua

Discover the essence of San Miguel de Allende in this exceptional Colonial-style residence, ideally located on one of the most desirable streets in Ojo de Agua. Just a beautiful 15-minute walk from the Jardín and close to Parque Juárez, City Market, shops, and restaurants, this remarkable home offers the perfect balance of proximity to Centro and the tranquility of a welcoming, established neighborhood.

Rich in character and architectural detail, the residence showcases the timeless beauty of traditional San Miguel style. High beamed ceilings, custom-painted finishes, exquisite tilework, Cantera stone fireplaces, elegant arches, and beautifully crafted details are found throughout the home.

At the heart of the property is a spectacular central courtyard, around which the main living spaces unfold. Multiple terraces provide wonderful opportunities for outdoor living and entertaining, while offering breathtaking views across the city and toward the iconic Parroquia.

The home is move-in ready and thoughtfully designed for both comfort and entertaining, with the added convenience of a private elevator.

Set well back from the street, the property is approached by a charming bridge spanning a picturesque arroyo, with off-street parking for multiple cars. A beautifully redesigned entrance leads into a light-filled and spacious living area, featuring a stunning Cantera fireplace and an exquisite handkerchief ceiling adorned with traditional artwork by renowned Mexican artist José Luis de Rivera 

The spacious open kitchen is perfectly suited for entertaining and flows naturally into the living area. A large central island with seating creates an inviting gathering space, while graceful arches subtly define the kitchen and living spaces.

The formal dining room opens directly onto the lush central courtyard through elegant arched doors. It features another Cantera fireplace, built-in china storage, and spectacular hand-painted murals throughout the room by Mexican artist Roberto Fuentavilla, creating a truly distinctive and artistic atmosphere.

Also on this level is a cozy bedroom or television room, complete with a beautifully tiled bathroom and exceptional built-in storage.

The very spacious primary suite is a private retreat, opening onto its own terrace with extraordinary views of the city and the Parroquia. A dramatic wall of glass brings in abundant natural light and frames the spectacular vistas. The suite also features a Cantera stone fireplace, a generously sized primary bathroom with beautiful tilework, and a spacious dressing room with extensive built-in closets and storage.

Adding exceptional flexibility and privacy, the charming detached casita includes a comfortable living area, full bathroom, kitchenette, and two additional bedrooms, each with its own fireplace. One of the bedrooms opens onto a delightful green terrace overlooking the arroyo below, creating a peaceful and intimate retreat for guests or family.

This extraordinary property combines authentic Mexican architecture, artistic craftsmanship, generous indoor and outdoor living spaces, panoramic city views, and an enviable location.

A rare opportunity to experience the very best of San Miguel de Allende—close to the energy and culture of Centro, yet tucked away in a peaceful and intimate setting.
