GRACIAS A LA VIDA is a charming, one-of-a-kind, spectacular, custom-built home that dances with color and light. It is named after the famous song, Thank You to Life by Chilean folksinger, Violeta Parra. Perched dramatically atop seven acres of verdant pasture and oak forest just three miles outside of Pucon, in the foothills of the majestic Villarrica Volcano.
Jaw-dropping views from literally every room, either sparkling Lake Villarrica, end to end, or majestic, snow-capped volcano. Curved, faux painted walls in bright, elemental colors; curved, sweeping ceilings; gleaming copper sinks; colorful art in every room; comfortable furniture; and all of the modern conveniences of home. The furnishings and art are indigenous-inspired, gathered from the owners’ travels. This is our dream home, lovingly built with every detail in mind. Lovely native landscaping, fruit trees, and a paradise of colorful flowers and plantings on all sides. including wonderful cosmos, marigolds, zinnias, and crocosmias, just to name a few.
