Lot Price: $216,143


The hacienda design style offers a tangible link to Mexico’s past with an emphasis on solid simplicity, traditional architectural elements and handcrafted elements with a distinct Mexican style. Spanish Colonial antiques and Mexican country objects are intermingled with contemporary notions of art and comfort, creating a balance between old and new.
From Hacienda Style by Joe P. Carr & Karen Witynski Carr


Contemporary Mexican kitchens combine rich color and familiar old-world elements with modern fixtures and appliances.

I built this house with the aide of Numenor's AGS (what a wonderful tool!) It needs NL, OFB, and M&G installed in order to work properly. This lot has been play-tested. Everything should work and be easily accessable for your sims- the Travellers thought the house was terrific! The Sims2Pack and the EXTRAs download files have both been thoroughly cleaned with the Clean Installer.

MAIN FEATURES:

• Lot size: 40X50 (4X5)

• About 2,560 sq ft covered living space - 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath, garage, great room, parlor, rec-room, kitchen, and formal dining room. Plus a courtyard in front, large deck with balcony in back, observation platform, and a pool

• Around $68,622 simoleons - I say "around" because I have extensively re-organized my build/buy catalogues and, in doing so, re-priced most everything. I don't know if this will effect the cost in your game or not. If it does, maybe your Sims qualify for a huge tax break? Inheritance? Or, it's their turn to win the lottery?

• The semi-private front courtyard - featuring hand painted ceramic tile imported from Armenia, lots of cheery flowers, and a bubbling fountain greets your visitors with warm hospitality

• Twin balconies add to the delightful architectural detailing along the front facade of this home

• Stepping into the foyer, you are surrounded with rich dark mahogany floor, balcony and stairs. The Armenian tile continues inside on the custom built split level staircase

• The upper landing is large enough to accomodate a small sitting area - several bookcases are built into the wall

• All bedrooms have an outside balcony; the Master bedroom opens to the upper level deck in back - just above the pool and hot tub

• The owners designed the pool themselves. It is a unique heart shaped design with a sea-turtle motif on the bottom

• Climb up the adobe style ladder (on the back deck) to the observation platform complete with a hi-powered telescope - every junior astronomers dream come true

• The central feature of this house is the built in wall aquarium - it can be viewed from many rooms in the main living area

• This house is being sold furnished - standard appliances, fixtures, and interior finishings, as well as sparse basic furniture is included

• Wired for cable/TV

• Need a pizza for the moving crew? The phone is installed and ready.

• Invisible/stealth Alarm systems included (for both fire and burglar)

• Contemporary style fireplace in the great room

• Airy catherdral ceilings and textured ceilings throughout

• Ceiling fans in all bedrooms and main living area

• Earth-friendly stained concrete driveway and garage floor

• Fine quality, energy efficient Maxis Brand Products used wherever feasible

• And an added bonus: the grounds are beautifully landscaped and include a fun play set for the kiddos
