Villa Milagro is only a thirty minute drive from Zihuatanejo-Ixtapa International Airport or a 45 minute plane ride from Mexico City. Troncones is a gem of the Pacific, voted by Sunset Magazine as a hidden paradise. Created by local artisans and craftsmen in an eco-friendly style, this estate is exclusively located on a pristine cove, private with panoramic views of the ocean and mountains and is known as “Lover’s Beach” by locals. It is directly south of the homes, restaurants and activities of the quaint village of Troncones, yet only a ten minute walk from the center of town. Troncones Bay just happens to be a sanctuary established by the Mexican government to protect sea turtles that lay their eggs along these magnificent white sandy beaches. At the right time of season, you might be fortunate enough to witness the birth of these turtles and watch hundreds of baby turtles moving toward life and the sea.
As this Mexican vacation destination lies close to a rainforest, walking or hiking in the woods is only a stone’s throw away. A mere fifty feet south of the Villa’s beach entrance lays a pristine and rock free ocean, perfect for swimming, boogie boarding, or surfing. The water temperature averages a very inviting temperature of 84 Fahrenheit or warmer. Adjacent to the beach where Villa Milagro is situated is a tranquil tide pool area and a five minute, bucolic walk leads to a private snorkeling beach. Take a plunge into the beautiful infinity pool to cool off from the heat or lay in the warm rays of the sun to work on your tan while watching flocks of pelicans delight the eye in wondrous movement and dance. However, if your inclination is for a more active experience, you can horseback ride, take an eco-tour, snorkel, do yoga, surf, swim, fish and then have a massage. If nightlife is your penchant the communities of Ixtapa and Zihuatanejo is within a stones throw and offers great shopping and nightlife...
The owners of this magnificent property lived in Japan for close to six years and have built a sanctuary by the sea with an infusion of Japanese architecture and Mexican influence, while paying tribute and respect to the unbelievably natural beauty in which one is surrounded. In every nook and cranny, one can find examples of their appreciation for Asian aesthetic. This Zen like environment adds to the inner quietude which can be easily achieved away from the hustle and bustle of city life and stress. One is able to leisurely walk along a five mile white sandy beach to local restaurants, yoga and or meditation facilities and not be disturbed by anything more engaging than a few surfers, fellow joggers and the sweet sound of the ocean waves lightly tapping on the beaches. The environment has been created so that it can be transformed from an intimate romantic hideaway for two to a facility to house family retreats, weddings and workshops.
Architecture:
The villa sits on two ocean front lots with ocean and mountain views from every vantage point.
The architect, Karina and her husband Gustavo worked in balance and harmony with each other and nature. Her female appreciation for practical and utilizability of space balances his sense of expansion and creativity creating an environment whose natural wonder and beauty permeate every breadth. The architecture extends the meaning of transparency and fluidity with few walls and windows, inside becomes outside and outside becomes inside, while protecting privacy in organic natural wonder.
There are few walls and no windows and privacy is attained through the simplicity of gardens and pathways leading to sand, beach and ocean. Adding to the artistic vision of their clients is interior designer from Los Angeles, Brandon Hoskins, ”When my client, a psychologist, asked me to work with her on a house in Mexico, that had no exterior walls, windows or doors, I thought she was on the wrong side of the couch. But, the challenge of designing Villa Milagro and the beauty and simplicity of Troncones had me spellbound and once I saw the house, I was hooked”.
Design:
The dining area has an eight foot hand crafted table and ten comfortable chairs for dining and socializing. A studio alongside of the dining area offers a place to curl up with your favorite book or person and or watch your favorite movie. An additional dining terrace has a six foot table and two benches for dining al fresco or playing games.
Wall hangings and sculpture acquired in Asia, hang on walls of bedrooms. Appreciation for folk art, both Japanese and Mexican are blended into all aspects of this space. Dining room chairs, inspired by traditional Mexican design are comfortable but have been handcrafted out of teak, maintaining the comfort of tradition while improving upon the elegance of detail. On the one hand, appreciating the need for serenity, quietude and private space to meditate, reflect and read, while on the other hand appreciating the pleasure of comfortable space to be with others, this home has it all with both little private corners to hide and open communal spaces to connect.
The common area for dining and socializing is the heart of the home. It is surrounded by an infinity swimming pool and decks. At all times one is in close proximity to the sight, sound and smell of the ocean.
