Why the Owner Chose Balcones
The area that we live in is called Los Balcones. It is perched above the city to the East over looking the charming cityscape with it's church steeples and domes and the Sierra Madre Mountains on the Western horizon. This area is a quiet and exclusive neighborhood which is completely built out now. You can enjoy the rythym of the city and then return to a place of beauty and tranquility. Our gardens provide a sanctuary for us which are filled with butterflies, hummingbirds, the cascade of our fountain and the vibrancy of a hundred different varieties of plants and colorful flowers.
Owner's Map of Balcones
My name is Dawn. My husband and I have been spending time in San Miguel since 1991. We fell in love with this amazing town and eventually decided to purchase our home and began the process of transforming it. As our photos reveal our home is a very special place that is not at all a stripped down rental. It is our home, that we enjoy 5 months out of the year to escape the heat of Dallas. Our home appeals to THE DESCRIMINATING traveler. Our guest book entries and photos are testament to the beauty that awaits you in our little corner of Paradise!
