Torrance, CA – November 3, 2011 – (RealEstateRama) — One of Mexico’s most prestigious oceanfront homes has come on the market for $28 million. The land, which was originally owned by former Mexican president Luis Echeverria, is aptly named Villa Vista Magica, capturing the magic of the estate and its magnificent views. As a private hide-away, the estate sits on 15-acres of its own private peninsula nestled between a tropical forest and the Pacific Ocean, with 1,000 meters of beachfront.
Listed by Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage-Point Loma Agent Isabel Razo, the property is located only an hour away from Puerto Vallarta in Nayarit, Mexico. It comes with a rich history, and unusual pedigree. During the 1970s, former Mexican President Luis Echeverría once called the peninsula home. The current owners discovered the property in 1997 and built the current estate from the ground up. Today it includes 11 autonomous villas each one enwrapped by magic views of mountain, forest and ocean. The fully air-conditioned villas are connected via walkways and furnished with a king-sized bed, a walk-in dressing area, a powder room, a shower and/or Jacuzzi tub, a telephone, satellite television, ceiling fans and an expansive terrace. The estate is completely wi-fi friendly and has a trained staff of six.
Over the years, many high profile individuals have visited seeking privacy and seclusion. Recently, the lush grounds served as the backdrop for the Dallas Cowboys’ calendar for several years, and the estate has been featured on the television series “Amazing Vacation Homes.”
At the heart of Villa Vista Magica, a “Palapa” lounge accommodates three living rooms, a dining room, a bar and an infinity pool giving way to a magical panoramic view of the Pacific Ocean.
Accented by a spirit of fun and hand-painted art reminiscent of mythological Mexican culture, no two villas are the same. The property lives and breathes within curved walls and thatched roofs, celebrating the cosmic vision of Mexico’s indigenous people. Even the sliding windows are curved and open from side to side, so nothing obstructs the breathtaking views. Adding life and culture to the home are plants, flowers and fruits that have been imported from China, Africa and Brazil.
“With its storied past and distinctive reflection of Mexican history and culture, Villa Vista Magica truly is a house unlike any other,” said John Hardesty, who designed and built it with his wife Clara. “Surrounded by 360 degrees of breathtaking beauty, and fitted with all of today’s modern comforts, this secluded paradise is the perfect place to call home.”
Also available is a private $27 million nine-hole golf course considered one of the finest in North America built to USGA specifications and set amongst an orchard with many tropical trees imported from Southeast Asia. Located next to Villa Vista Magica, the course has seashore paspalum grass and is fully landscaped with flowers. Fully irrigated and carrying its own water supply, the property is zoned for 250 units and comes with 70 meters of beachfront, which can be developed into a clubhouse, restaurant or eight beachfront condos.
