Enjoy Year-Round Outdoor Living in Your Mirador Home

Mirador Homes develops only properties that offer vistas of this remarkable city and the surrounding lakes and mountains. Every Mirador Home is meticulously designed to optimize magnificent panoramic views and incorporate these vistas into the home owner’s daily living. This often involves the design of “an upside down” house. Unlike a traditional home the living areas (kitchen, dinning room, living room and office) are located on the second floor. Day and night as you work, relax or entertain you can enjoy the surrounding views and beauty of this lovely colonial city.

Abundant Natural Lighting

San Miguel is blessed with many hours of abundant sunshine each day which makes natural lighting the perfect way to illuminate living spaces. Internal courtyards, light wells, a variety of skylights and windows are found throughout Mirador Homes. During daylight hours the additional energy expense of artificial illumination is usually unnecessary.

Multi-Purpose Outdoor Living Spaces

Every Mirador Home features one or more covered outdoor living areas. The temperate climate of San Miguel is ideal for a wide range of outdoor activities including cooking, dining, entertaining or just sharing the time with friends and loved ones.

Private Gardens with Convenient Amenities

San Miguel’s climate supports one of the broadest spectrums of vegetation in the world. Mirador Homes incorporates private gardens suitable for different living zones including outdoor roof gardens, deck planters and green spaces adjacent to rooms.

This garden friendly design requires properties large enough to accommodate a large home and adequate garden space. Gardening conveniences and amenities for the active or occasional gardener can include:

Efficient Water Conservation Design

San Miguel is a semi-arid climate with highly alkaline water. At the buyer’s request, a rain water capture system can be installed that routes rain water from the roofs and decks to a separate fresh water cistern. The cistern has its own pressure system that delivers
stored rain water to the hose bibs to water plants. Working with a drip irrigation system can significantly conserve water by delivering water slowly and precisely to individual plants.
