A Rare Find
A one-of-a-kind contemporary hillside home above Lake Chapala — where golden-hour light spills over the water and the mountains hold the silence.
Walk through Casa del Cielo
A guided video walkthrough of the home, the casita, and the views that make this hillside setting so rare.
A contemporary hillside home, carved into the light
Set on the hillside above Lake Chapala in the highly desirable Raquet Club community, Casa del Cielo is a study in warm, modern living. Open-concept interiors open onto covered terraces; cantera stone meets clean concrete; and every window frames the lake and the mountains beyond. Built in 2018 and fully remodeled in 2025, it is move-in ready — and utterly one of a kind.
A private furnished casita, a hydronic elevator, and a spectacular hillside mirador make this a home designed for both everyday ease and gathering.
Address
Jack Kramer #3, San Juan Cosalá, Jalisco, 45820 — Raquet Club · Lake Chapala, Mexico
Designed for the way the light moves
Two floors of warm, contemporary living, oriented to the lake. The hydronic elevator connects them quietly and safely, so the home adapts to every stage of life.
Gourmet kitchen & open living
An open-concept main house flows from a chef's kitchen to the living room and out to a covered terrace — the fireplace anchoring the space as the lake light pours in.
Fireplace & covered terrace
A warm hearth and a covered terrace make the main living area a year-round gathering place, open to the view yet sheltered from the evening cool.
Primary suite & second en-suite
The primary bedroom features a large walk-in closet, while the second bedroom enjoys its own en-suite — privacy and comfort for family and guests alike.
Upstairs panoramic terrace
A large covered terrace upstairs frames the full sweep of lake and mountain — a second living room in the open air, shaded through the hottest hours of the day.
A self-contained retreat within the grounds
Fully furnished and completely private, the casita offers its own bedroom, kitchenette, full bath, fireplace, and covered terrace. Ideal for visiting family and friends — or as a turnkey rental income opportunity.
The mirador, the terrace, the fire
The grounds are an experience of their own — a spectacular mirador carved into the hillside, an open-air terrace laid in cantera stone, and an outdoor fire pit for cool lakeside evenings. Landscaped gardens with irrigation keep it lush year-round.
