Aerie is a lofty nest, so I guess this large viewhome qualifies, hovering over the Rio Grande river valley at the edge of Guisaro, Atenas. With a lot of 7000m2, the 350 m2 glass-laden home has 3 BR, 3 1/2 baths, large kitchen with modern light fixtures, granite countertops and stainless appliances. Vaulted hardwood ceilings ensure cool comfort, and the many patio doors and windows, cross-ventilation. The master suite boasts an impressive view, a large bath with jacuzzi, and a walking closet. The laundry room has closet storage built in, for practicality.

Outdoors there is an expansive tiled deck surrounded by paving stones; there is a BBQ rancho in addition to a carport, and a pool fronting the living room.

Hacienda Atenas is gated, and is 3.5 km to town, walking distance on a sunny morning. $350,000.
