Casa Clara is a very private Pacific beachfront compound consisting of a main house, with stand-alone bedroom bungalows, all in the Coastal Vallarta style. It is situated in a beautiful mature tropical garden containing well over 100 large palms and hundreds of other smaller palms, flowering trees and shrubs. Everything about it - warm colors, soft textures, balanced scale/volumes, and natural/earthy materials - is in harmony with its fabulous coastal setting. Facing south overlooking Banderas Bay , the main 2 story house has its principal rooms - living room, dining room, kitchen, outdoor eating/BBQ area, office and media room - all on the main level facing a garden. Landscaped for greatest privacy from walkers on the beach, there is a 10-12ft high embankment heavily planted with beautiful prickly succulents, with access provided to Ranchos beach down a few stone steps.
