Modern Beach House in the Dunes of Chihuahua – PBH520

This modern home in minimalist style is located in the sought-after residential area of Chihuahua, in a prime first-row position directly behind the coastal dunes and just 330ft from the beach. Thanks to the elevated position of the nearly 12,000sqft lot, the upper floor of the house offers a beautiful view of the sea and the surrounding coastal landscape.

Chihuahua is located about 9 miles west of Punta del Este and is especially popular due to its natural character, with scattered, consistently low-rise buildings, a wide sandy beach, and extensive dune landscapes at the mouth of the El Potrero stream. Despite the quiet setting, all necessary infrastructure is close by: the small commercial center of Punta Ballena—with a supermarket, pharmacy, hardware store, and restaurants—is only 2 miles away, while Punta del Este and Maldonado, with their full urban infrastructure, are about a 30-minute drive.

The two-story house offers a net living space of 1,485sqft (plus 540sqft of terrace). On the ground floor, there are three bedrooms—one with its own en-suite bathroom—an additional bathroom, and a small utility room. The upper floor features a bright and airy living/dining room with panoramic windows, an open-plan kitchen with a breakfast bar, and a guest WC.

On the west-facing side of the house, oriented toward the sea, there are partially covered wooden deck terraces on both levels. The upper terrace features a spacious barbecue area situated just in front of the kitchen—an ideal spot to enjoy the panoramic view and breathtaking sunsets in good company over a meal and a glass of wine. An external staircase connects this terrace to the garden and the pool.

The property is well equipped: double-glazed windows, split air conditioning systems, underfloor heating in all rooms, high-quality kitchen and bathroom fittings, and fine wall and floor finishes ensure a comfortable and elegant living environment.

Layout: Living/dining room with open kitchen, 3 bedrooms (1 en suite), 2 bathrooms, guest WC, utility room
