Built to blend into it's tropical environment, Casa Aguas Vivas is an elegant work utilizing indigenous materials that makes a statement of individuality. The palapa roofs and river stone mesh with the ocean, palms, and pools to create a romantic and unique home. The curvilinear architecture and stairways defy straight walls and convention, as does the outdoor dining room and bar area under a palapa umbrella. The cobblestone stairway from the palapa bar to the ocean places you onto a mile of sugar-fine sand to the south. The home smartly incorporates function and form while allowing the building site and views to speak for themselves.
The 2-story home has 3 bedroom suites, all of which take advantage of the spectacular vistas in all directions......... To the east, from the upstairs master bedroom, the sunrise pours in from Puerto Vallarta across the tops of the trees in the tropical forest. The distant view to the south is the southernmost tip of Bahia Banderas known as Cabo Corientes, while in the immediate foreground there is a magnificent view of surf and coral reefs from 50 feet above sea level. The view to the west encompasses the remainder of te Bahia Banderas, and sunsets that fade behind the Mairietas Islands.
Native parota hardwood was cut from the jungle, dried and milled by local craftmen to form the windows, doors, and some of the furnishings inside the home. The dark hardwood richly accents the openings with hand-crafted quality. The palapa roof was built by the same craftsman who built the main lobby of the Four Seasons.
Casa Aguas Vivas is situated 20 minutes north from Pauerto Vallarta's Dias Ordaz Airport along Nayarit, Mexico's tropical coastline known as Costa Banderas within the Mexican Riviera. This stretch of coast, which has been preserved from the tourist development we know as Puerto Vallarta, has been brought into the limelight with the completion of the Four Seasons Resort, Punta Mita which features a Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course, only 10 minutes west of Aguas Vivas, El Farallon is within the Costa Banderas master plan and is a model of controlled low density development. This location, just 2.5 hours from Los Angeles or Houston, allows you to experience a tropical paradise for an extended weekend.
