I visited my dream house yesterday. It’s on a hill next to the Grand Bay Hotel. This house is truly amazing. From the front it looked like a white concrete box. No adornment in front, just dirt.
Once the door is opened, it is a different story. There is a profusion of beautiful trees and plantings going down a hill to a pond and palapa, complete with hammock.
The house is in two sections with patios and gardens in between. A large open palapa serves as a living room – only the bedrooms and kitchen are enclosed, all with patios looking over the yard and the bay in the distance. There are many levels, many steps – it was not your typical two-story home.
The rooms are painted in the traditional bright Mexican colors – no two rooms are the same. All the artwork is by Mexican artists and the furnishings are simple but striking. There are no screens, per se, but the dark wood louvered shutters are screened on the inside, giving a cool tropical feel to the bedrooms.
For me, it was a love at first sight. What a dream come true for the owners.
