On a dramatic stretch of Oaxacan coastline known as Costa Chica, there are still places to get away from it all, and be deeply nourished by nature. Welcome to Casa Paz. A place to pause. Set into a cliff overlooking Playa del Sol, the home is adjacent to La Boquilla, a calm, sandy bay with a single hotel and restaurant.

The “Peace House” is a three bedroom, three bath, two story home that is deeply integrated into its surroundings, with unsurpassed views of the rugged and remote Oaxaca coastline.

With open plan living, and delectable sea breezes, Casa Paz is a unique getaway to relax, reboot, create, and share intimate time with family and friends.

The open-air palapa pavilion is the perfect place for friends, families, and small gatherings.  There are two built-in sofas, overhead fans, hammocks, and a balcony extending over the cliff for vivid star gazing. It's a modular space that can be cleared for movement and ceremony. There are two screened-in bedrooms with separate en suite bathrooms.

The screened-in bedrooms are designed for comfort and ease, with queen beds, ample closet space, overhead fans, and sea breezes. Each has a separate flagstone bathroom. The master bedroom includes a viewing balcony and writing desk.

The downstairs studio suite features open plan living, with high ceilings for volume. The 10 foot barn doors retract to create one continuous indoor-outdoor space. The family room features two sofas, a desk, and a chef's kitchen with stainless appliances and ample workspace. Dine at the counter or the patio. The back bedroom is elevated for views. There is also a storage room (bodega) with a washing machine and steps to upstairs.

The downstairs flagstone patio is the perfect hang-out spot, enveloped by nature, cantilevered over the sea. A river rock wall frames the space, with steps and built-ins fashioned from native stone formations. With a locally crafted dining set made of tropical hardwood, it's an inspired place to dine. And also chill, with two hammock chairs, a rounded cushioned bench, tanning deck and delicious outdoor shower.

The stone and mason work, master carpentry, and extensive use of local materials makes the home an artful expression of organic Oaxacan craftsmanship. If you like wood, you'll love this place.
