Welcome to Cien Colibries, a breathtaking contemporary Mexican home built in the style of a country hacienda. Inspired by the simplicity and ecology of Northern Mexican haciendas, this property favors natural elegance over fancy decoration. The home utilizes simple, locally made materials with natural colors drawn from the countryside and the city of San Miguel de Allende. The entire estate exemplifies the incredible craftsmanship, skills, and artisanship of the people of San Miguel.

The Main House is thoughtfully divided into three wings connected by one long corridor. It features a timeless design that requires zero maintenance on the floors, walls, or exterior.

The dining and living rooms feature beautiful hand-painted and stenciled clay-tile ceilings with hummingbird and swallow patterns created by the owners.

Grounds, Gardens, and Ecology

Both homes are surrounded by beautiful gardens, winding pathways, and mature trees.
