Casa Acanto

Description from the manager

Casa Acanto is be featured in Architectural Digest April 2013 and the interiors are by the outstanding design firm of FisherWeisman - www.fisherweisman.com. The stone building at the front of the property was built in the 18th Century as a tannery. It was converted to a home and expanded over the following two centuries. The L-shaped building is laid out such that each bedroom has a terrace, views, light, cross ventilation, and privacy - unlike more typical courtyard houses.

Casa Acanto sits on a particularly large lot dominated by three enormous jacaranda trees. Cantera stone paving extends throughout the gardens and spectacular founta...ins add beautiful touches (and sounds) to the lush gardens. The gardens are dramatically illuminated for nighttime entertaining.

The house features:

* tile floors throughout

* ceilings with substantial pine beams and tejamaníl

* extra-thick doors with planks of reclaimed pine

* remote-controlled gas fireplaces with custom Cantera stone mantels in the dining room, sala, kitchen, casita sala, and master bedroom

* a wood burning fireplace with an Argentinian grill for cooking in the main outdoor sala

* bathrooms with heated floors

* ultraviolet filters for the water throughout the house and casita

* voltage regulator for electricity stability throughout the property

* photovoltaic panels on the roof, plus a small solar water heating system (supplemented by new gas heater)

* two cisterns: a large new one in the garage for the drinking water and a smaller one under the casita for the garden water

* double-paned wood windows with integral screens from Spain across the front of the house and in the master bedroom

Rooms include:

* an entry hall with a vaulted ceiling and old stone floors
