BauerHouse Properties is proud to introduce Palapa on the Hill to the lakeside real estate community. Perched above it all, where lake, sky, and mountains meet—this is what living at the top of Lake Chapala feels like.
Created for someone who wants a home unlike anything else in the area, Palapa en el Cerro combines true 360° unobstructed views with the kind of scale and layout designed for entertaining. From sunrise over the lake to sunset behind the mountains, every level of the home is positioned to take in the landscape—while the pool, palapa, and indoor living spaces flow seamlessly together for hosting on any scale. Just 3 minutes from the Malecón de Chapala, the property offers a rare balance of privacy, elevation, and convenience that’s difficult to find on Lake Chapala.
A striking ~5-meter entry door sets the tone the moment you arrive—this is a home built with scale in mind. Inside, the residence offers 4 spacious bedrooms and 7 bathrooms, with floor-to-ceiling windows in key living areas and upstairs bedrooms. The reflective tint brings in natural light while maintaining privacy. Finishes are consistent and high quality throughout, including natural onyx stone accents, quartz countertops in the kitchen and all bathrooms, and cantera stone surrounding the pool. The main level features a large open-concept kitchen and dining area, with a slightly elevated living space positioned to take in the panoramic lake view—ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. A half-level below adds flexibility, with a secondary TV/lounge area, office or storage space, and a generously sized bedroom with its own bathroom and closet—well suited for guests.
A glass elevator connects the levels of the home and leads to the second floor, where you’ll find:
