Luxury Villa for Sale and Rent in Zihuatanejo, Guerrero, Mexico

Villa Casablanca in Prestige Private Community!

This architect-designed custom home is located in Las Azucenas, a prestigious, private community of large luxury residences. Formerly a Mango plantation, the homes are nestled among lush natural flora with most of the lovely, fruit-laden trees still in place. Adjacent to the Acapulco Highway and the village of Coacoyul, the neighborhood is both private and conveniently located--just 5 minutes by car from the Ixtapa/Zihuatanejo International Airport, 15 minutes to downtown Zihua and nearby Ixtapa. Miles of pristine beaches are minutes away-Playa Larga, Playa Blanca or Bahia de Potasi. Las Azucenas features a large, freshwater lake surrounded by towering palm trees and common areas. David's Paraiso, a bed&breakfast restaurant inn features luxurious suites and truely gourmet cuisine and adjoins the lake.
The residence, known locally as "La Casa Blanca", is contained on two large adjoining lots, lushly landscaped and surrounded by a richly-plastered, concrete wall. Security is further enhanced by steel vehicle and pedestrian gates. The house consists of three stories, each about 2000+/- square feet, with private entrances via landings at ground-level and off an enclosed spiral staircase to the upper stories. The structure is entirely of concrete, hand-veneered in plaster with custom tiled floors, rendering it virtually fire-proof and easy to maintain.
The first floor unit has separate, enclosed laundry, half-bath and storage areas for staff/maintenance use. The grounds are lushly landscaped with a variety of local flora and lawn, as well as a gated parking area. The interior features a kitchen, breakfast bar and a huge Great Hall with plush furnishings by local craftsmen from Guerrero and neighboring states. A home theater with retractable screen is available for all three floors. Sleeping accomodations are provided by three private bedroom suites with full baths and TV/phone and Internet access. All furniture and accessories are custom-made and hand-crafted by local artisans, including the unique wooden doors and shutter system. The doors and shutters are normally closed for privacy, but all can be opened, transforming the interior into one vast hall for parties and social gatherings.
The second story unit is identical to the first, except the Master suite has been enlarged to provide a private two-room unit for the owners or special guests. In addition, a balcony provides sweeping views of the grounds, lake and community.
The third story is a huge terrace, half open and half enclosed, with kichen, bar and covered area which could easily be converted to yet another private Master suite. The open area features panoramic vistas and contains a jacuzzi spa/pool with waterfall and infinity edges. The open terrace is safeguarded by a wrought-iron balcony fence. Three concealed, separate central air-conditioning units and electrical panels provide separate services for each floor. The tower above the stairway houses a 10,000 liter, automatic gravity-fed water tank. An oversized septic system under the lawn provides for sanitary waste disposal.
La Casa Blanca is truely a unique and versatile estate with many options: a huge private mansion, two-three separate living units, or a seven- suite bed and breakfast facility with three common areas, garden and spa. Ample on-street parking is available as well.
