The estate comprises four levels and offers an exceptionally generous total built area of 1,402 m². The impressive entrance hall, measuring more than 50 m², leads into the spacious reception rooms and other areas of the main residence.
The lower level features a characterful basement area with a historic wine cellar of more than 65 m². This level is complemented by the former stables and an idyllic traditional courtyard with a well.
The upper levels include converted attic spaces, from which unobstructed views of the surrounding Marina Alta mountain landscape can be enjoyed.
The existing layout provides an interesting foundation for a variety of future concepts. Subject to feasibility and the necessary planning and regulatory approvals, potential uses could include an exclusive boutique hotel, a high-end clinic, a wellness and longevity centre, or an impressive private residence.
This exceptional estate combines historic architecture with an unusually large plot and a central location in Benissa. From the moment you enter through the main gate, the property conveys an atmosphere deeply rooted in the history of the building.
The original hydraulic tile mosaics give the interiors a distinctive Mediterranean character. Historic fireplaces and high ceilings with exposed wooden beams further emphasise the traditional architecture and provide an authentic sense of the property's original period.
One of the property's most remarkable features is the combination of its central location and expansive private grounds. Although situated in the heart of the town, the numerous mature and, in some cases, centuries-old trees create a secluded and peaceful atmosphere.
The historic ancillary areas add further character and potential. The wine cellar of more than 65 m², former stables and traditional courtyard with its well provide a tangible connection to the estate's original use and history.
Across its four levels, the property offers 1,402 m² of built space and therefore considerable scope for individual redevelopment. The existing configuration could, for example, provide the basis for the creation of an exclusive boutique hotel with a strong sense of history and character.
Another potential concept would be the development of a high-end clinic or wellness and longevity centre. Depending on feasibility and the required approvals, the project could incorporate private suites, medical and aesthetic facilities, relaxation areas and a swimming pool within the Mediterranean gardens.
Alternatively, the estate could be transformed into an exceptional private residence. For buyers seeking a historic building with extensive grounds, generous proportions and authentic architectural details, this represents a rare opportunity.
