If you’re a fan of gripping crime dramas, you’ll know Aurelio Casillas as the charismatic and formidable antihero from the hit show “El Señor de los Cielos.” Portrayed by the talented Rafael Amaya, Aurelio is a powerful drug lord whose story intertwines luxury, power, and intrigue. As the head of the Juárez Cartel, Aurelio navigates the dangerous world of drug trafficking, alliances, and betrayals, all while maintaining a lavish lifestyle that includes opulent homes, high-end vehicles, and hidden escape routes.
“El Señor de los Cielos” is celebrated for its intense plotlines and complex characters, with Aurelio Casillas at the center of it all. His character is defined by his sharp intellect, ruthless tactics, and an almost mythical level of sophistication. His homes, much like the estate we’re about to explore, are not just residences but fortresses of luxury and secrecy, perfectly suited for his high-stakes life.
Introducing Misión Veintidós
Nestled in the exclusive Pegasus Airpark in Queen Creek, AZ, this extraordinary $19.5M estate, Misión Veintidós (Mission Twenty-Two), embodies the grandeur and elegance reminiscent of classic Spanish-style mission architecture. Spanning a massive 32,000 square feet of luxury living, with over 26,000 square feet of conditioned space, this home is a masterpiece of design and functionality.
A Grand Entrance
The unique mission-style entrance through a breezeway gate opens to a stunning courtyard view of the estate. This estate’s 16” thick walls not only add to its style but also ensure maximum efficiency, providing a quiet and energy-efficient living space. Perfectly situated on a North-South double lot, the property boasts an expansive 350′ of taxiway, leading to the main residence sprawled across three levels.
The Ultimate Hangar
For an aviation aficionado like Aurelio Casillas, the 10,000 sq ft steel construction hangar with full HVAC, an epoxy-coated floor, and a “Big Ass” fan is nothing short of perfect. With pocket-style main hangar doors offering a 78’x17′ clear opening, a flight office, storage room, and mezzanine bar, it’s the ideal space to house his fleet of planes. The upstairs bathroom and balcony add to the convenience, while the two motorized vertical opening 20 ft glass garage-style doors facing the courtyard offer an impressive view.
The Courtyard: A Luxurious Oasis
Imagine Aurelio hosting grand parties in the massive courtyard featuring 2,000 feet of covered breezeways, multiple swimming pools with fountains and firepots, and a covered outdoor full kitchen under a mission-style bell tower. The lit pickleball/basketball sports court, putting green, and sand volleyball court provide endless entertainment options for guests.
The Main House: Opulence Redefined
The main house, a true sanctuary, includes a 5,000 sq ft basement with unique amenities such as a bowling alley, 75 ft shooting range, Tiger Woods’ (Full Swing Pro 2.0) golf simulator, wine cellar, walk-in vault, storage room, bathroom, and interior and exterior stairs. Rumor has it, hidden tunnels and secret passageways are cleverly concealed behind unassuming walls, perfect for quick escapes when under siege by federal agents or rival cartels. These clandestine routes add an air of mystery and intrigue, reminiscent of Aurelio’s notorious lifestyle. Okay, maybe we are just thinking of the show too much; I cannot confirm or deny that there is a hidden getaway, but if this house were in the show, it would have to have one.
The Master Suite: A Private Retreat
The detached master bedroom, over 2,000 sq ft, features custom his and her walk-in closets, separate bathrooms and linens, a large walk-in shower, and a separate tub. The incredible ceiling details with accent lighting, multiple balconies, bar, fireplace, and sliding doors create a private retreat fit for a kingpin like Aurelio.
The Master Spanish Garden: Serenity and Beauty
Aurelio would surely appreciate the serene Master Spanish Garden with its water and fire features, offering a perfect escape from the chaos of his world.
Unmatched Design and Features
The 16″ double insulated walls ensure quieter, more energy-efficient living, while the extensive ironwork, custom railing with HH monogram, and windows with iron details add to the home’s aesthetic appeal. The clear view elevator, wired cameras accessible from the internet, automated lighting, security system, hidden AV closet, and luxury full-service guest suites with spa-like bathrooms, each including laundry and a bar, offer unparalleled convenience and security.
The Second Story: Wellness and Views
The 2,834 sq ft second story houses a gym, spa and sauna, gym bathrooms, and laundry. The large outdoor balcony, firepit, and incredible views of the Superstition and San Tan mountains make it a perfect spot for relaxation. The balcony sliding windows overlooking the courtyard add a touch of elegance.
Unique Features: Fit for a TV Kingpin
The firepole slide from the gym to the first floor hidden door, formal living room with 30′ sliding glass doors with a view of the hangar, 28′ ceiling with massive beams, oversize castle-style fireplace, and gourmet kitchen with Sub-Zero Wolf appliances, baking center, and a fully equipped butler’s pantry make this home truly unique. The dark and smokey informal sitting room with a floor-level gas fireplace, full bar, bathroom, and large sliding window overlooking the courtyard pool provide a perfect setting for intimate gatherings.
