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.

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.

and unabashedly irresistible, the buyer of this
exceptional historic country property is not
