This spectacular property, dating to 1717, is one of a handful in San Miguel de Allende that captures the true essence of Spanish Colonial architectural design and Moorish influence. Having been meticulously restored, well beyond its original grandeur, by its co-owner Ann Maurice, internationally renowned interior designer and host of the popular British reality TV program the “House Doctor”, Casa de la Espiga stands in a rare class among original Colonial properties offered today in San Miguel.
Located 4 blocks from the town’s main square, this exquisite home offers grand views of spectacular sunsets and the majestic domes of the Las Monjas church. Two first-level courtyards with lush gardens, surrounded by original stone walls and gracefully arched columns, lead to interior rooms, including one master and a guest bedroom, that afford the ultimate in indoor/outdoor living and sophisticated entertaining in the temperate climate of San Miguel.
The traditional and large Mexican-style kitchen is a delight for the eyes with its colorful display of tiles, high ceiling and ample spaces for the display of indigenous art. The second level opens to an expansive set of sun-drenched terraces that lead to a rustic art studio, which is also used as a fourth bedroom, as well as to a graciously appointed Arabesque-style two-bedroom private casita, the envy of any guests.
Located a few blocks from the former palace of the Count of Canal, this home may have been visited by the count himself, who would have come to purchase the fine breads of the locally famous La Espiga bakery that were made in the stone oven spaces, still visible today, in the rustic and original walls that grace this extraordinary home.
