The property
An absolutely breathtaking 19th century Palacio has undergone a truly spectacular and fastidiously sympathetic restoration. The beautifully presented and highly flexible accommodation exceeds 1,000m2 (10,000 sq ft), offering several divine bedroom suites, huge reception rooms, and one of the most impressive country kitchens you'll ever see! The property also boasts numerous large terraces, a traditional cobbled central courtyard, a huge parking area with garaging, an incredible outdoor swimming pool ... and a heated indoor atmospheric Moroccan-inspired pool / Hamann.
The property, set within a beautiful flat 35,000m2 (c.8 acres) olive grove, enjoy lovely far-reaching views, and total peace and quiet. There are no neighbors close by, and no barking dogs!
The Palacio would undoubtedly suit all kinds of potential uses, everything from a luxurious private residence or holiday retreat, a film or photographic 'location', to an exquisite Boutique Hotel commanding top, top rates. Sandersons and Zoffany actually chose the Palacio as the photo-shoot location for their spring '15 collection of wallpapers and fabrics! The property's commercial potential is clearly varied and huge!!
A truly spectacular and unique home, steeped in history with character and charm, offered in perfect condition throughout - genuinely one of Spain's finest private country residences.
The location
Lying just 30 mins south of Seville, a city enjoying huge visitor numbers (a number of luxury 5/7 star hotels are currently being constructed), and a similar distance from Ronda, the location couldn't be much better. Off the beaten track in an idyllic setting, yet just 10 / 15 mins from a number of pretty, traditional, and friendly Pueblos Blancos (whitewashed villages), the nearest being the historic Montellano, which offer everything one needs, including fine restaurants, art galleries, supermarkets, medical facilities, etc.
Golfers can enjoy highly acclaimed courses in Seville (there are 3, including the famous Real Club) and Arcos Gardens in Arcos de la Frontera (both within 30 / 45 mins), and nature lovers can revel in the majestic beauty and towering peaks of the nearby Grazalema and Alcornocales National Parks. They boast some of Europe's finest scenery, and rare species of animals and birds thrive in their wonderful temperate climate (more than 300 days of sun each year!).
The unspoiled beaches of the Costa de la Luz, between Cadiz and Tarifa, are just an hour away, and fast main roads link Malaga and the Costa del Sol conveniently too, allowing visitors the choice of a number of international airports - Seville, Jerez and Malaga, and even Gibraltar.
The immediate area is perfect for horse riding, with miles of traffic-free country tracks starting at the front entrance, and additional land may be available to purchase or rent.
The Palacio's convenient and superb connected, yet tranquil and beautiful location, truly offers the best of all worlds!
