Historic properties are unique and offer a glimpse of a time that once was. Such landmark properties, always in short supply, are therefore always in demand, maintaining their value even during times of market uncertainty and real estate downturns.
Architectural distinction and character, a fascinating past and nostalgia and a desire to preserve history are all important reasons for the strong interest these extraordinary properties command. For this reason, they are a safe and worthy investment.
It is not just the beauty of historic homes that piques the attention of buyers. Certainly their charm and sense of romance draw attention from those with a keen sense of history.
Buyers from the UK and Continental Europe – particularly English, Dutch, German, Belgian and Scandinavian investors – demonstrate a keen interest in acquiring historic properties and noble estates.
Here is a rare chance to own a piece of Andalusia real estate that comes with a richness of history, plus poise and grace. Its purchase could represent that rewarding opportunity to acquire an estate defined as a truly historic trophy property that is also undeniably a beautiful building. For those seeking a home of timeless romanticism, filled with history in a glorious setting, this breathtaking regionalist-style estate is bound to impress.
An extraordinary property with history dating back to the 1910s, here is a place so special that it has never before been offered on the market. History and heritage are synonymous with the property. It is an estate of distinction and historical importance.
The never-again-to-be-offered lifestyle proposition is a luxury hacienda estate that is exceptional in every respect – truly one of a kind. Owners will enjoy a style of living infused with true excellence and unrivalled prestige.
Boasting an elite pedigree of timeless refinement, the trophy property sits impressively on a private plot of 350 hectares. Standing in a setting of unspoilt natural splendour, owners will be able to indulge in the luxury and contentment of their own private haven.
The incredible 3,000m2 estate consists of a magnificent mansion (una casa señorial), several agricultural outbuildings, staff accommodation, equestrian facilities, private hunting reserve and infrastructure that includes livestock fencing and gates. There is a splendid chapel that boasts a beautiful baroque altarpiece, watched over by the image of San Miguel.
Steeped in history and beauty, the architecturally significant property was designed by the famed regionalist architect Aníbal González for owner Marquis de Aracena.
Aníbal González is known for his work on Plaza de España, constructed for the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929. Situated in Maria Luisa Park, the plaza is a semi-circular construction that formed the centrepiece of the exhibition and features representations of each of the Spanish provinces. There is also a lake for boating, towers and fountains. It is clearly the architect’s crowning achievement.
Aníbal González’s early work was modernist but as director of the exhibition he developed the Neo-Mudejar style that utilised aspects of the classic Mudejar architecture that was practised from the 13th to the 15th centuries. Aníbal González’s style is noted for its use of brick, tile and horseshoe arches and for combining elements of Gothic and Baroque, plus his own unique touches.
A shining example of sophisticated allure, the prestigious mansion offers grandly scaled interior with distinguished living spaces. Multiple living and entertaining areas and alluringly elegant interiors combine to create a spectacular, high-end residence for its privileged owners. The main house features several lounges and living rooms, a dining area with fireplace, an impressive entrance hall, a dedicated area for events, a hunting hall, a fitted kitchen and nine bedrooms.
A traditional bodega and romantic galleries add further Old World elegance, as do the many fireplaces and stunning staircases.
The noble mansion is resplendent with hunting trophies, whilst family shields are prominently displayed.
The imposing estate exhibits the finest possible original period features portraying gracious details, striking proportions with impressive ornate ceilings and several grand fireplaces. Intricate woodwork, exquisite azulejos (tiles), delicate horseshoe arches and exposed wood beams add further depth and charm to the sensational space.
Sunny days and starry nights in scenic surroundings set the stage for idyllic al fresco living. Owners will enjoy the picturesque garden, swimming pool, terrace, pergolas and decorative fountains.
The superior property sits amongst grasslands and pastures, graced with mature trees, including orchards, holm oaks and cork oaks. The estate is blessed with abundant water thanks to numerous wells and natural springs. Located near the Sierra de Aracena and Picos de Aroche Natural Park at the foot of the town of Aracena in the province of Huelva, the estate is an oasis of peace and tranquillity. Yet it is only 50 minutes from Seville and 40 minutes from the Portuguese border.
Singularly unique, absolutely irreplaceable and unabashedly irresistible, the buyer of this exceptional historic country property is not just purchasing one of the finest estates in the area of Aracena, but one of the finest estates in Andalusia.
