VILLA DE LUXE GRINGO GULCH

A Historical Gem in the Heart of Gringo Gulch

Prepare to step back in time while enjoying every modern luxury at Casa La Bomba! Once known as the storied “Collingwood” residence, this spectacular property it has been offered as an exclusive vacation rental opportunity.

Location, History, and the Legacy of Gringo Gulch
Casa La Bomba doesn’t just sit in a great location—it is nestled in the legendary Gringo Gulch. This famous hillside neighborhood became the unofficial celebrity enclave of Puerto Vallarta after the filming of the 1964 classic movie, The Night of the Iguana, which starred Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor.

The Golden Era: The mid-1960s marked the start of Vallarta’s transformation from a sleepy fishing village into an international hot spot. Life back then was a blend of rustic Mexican charm and burgeoning glamour. The handful of Americans and Canadians who settled here, especially those who bought or built homes in Gringo Gulch, were pioneers.

A Quieter Time: Imagine a life where the primary way to get around was walking the cobblestone streets, and the biggest news might have been the arrival of a new ship. There were few cars, the pace was slow, and the evenings were filled with the sounds of the jungle, the church bells, and the flowing river. These early homeowners enjoyed a sense of seclusion and a true “hidden gem” status before the area was on every tourist map. “Collingwood” would have been one of the grandest estates in this emerging, exclusive community.

The Property: Where Luxury Meets the Cuale River

This commanding estate holds the title of occupying the largest riverfront lot on the scenic Río Cuale. The recent, meticulous, and extensive rebuild has preserved its historical footprint while incorporating the absolute latest in architectural design and luxury amenities.

Unrivaled Views: Casa La Bomba offers truly commanding views. From every single room, you can gaze upon the vibrant flow of the Cuale River below, the lush, verdant Sierra Madre mountains in the distance, and the colorful rooftops of the town itself.

Indoor-Outdoor Living: The home is designed for the ultimate enjoyment of Vallarta’s climate. Huge, expansive terraces provide the perfect stages for relaxation. Imagine sipping your favorite cocktail as the sun dips into the Pacific, painting the sky with fiery colors—a nightly tradition you won’t soon forget!

Signature Amenities:

Infinity Pool: Dive into the stunning, cantilevered infinity pool that appears to spill directly into the river below.
Lush Garden: Explore the meticulously kept gardens that provide an oasis of tropical serenity.
Gourmet BBQ Area: An ideal space for entertaining and enjoying al fresco dining under the stars.
