luxury real estate for sale Colonia Department, Uruguay

The exposed area of the floor in the living room is the original floor dating back to about 1680, the same as the street in front. The hand-made tile floor now there was installed later, in 1780. The ceiling was raised to a higher level when The Spanish occupied Uruguay. This is obvious, when observing the change in the construction of the wall. The exterior walls of the house are 80 cm deep. In the living room, there were concave places for the Virgin Mary, which were filled in. The wall shared with Posada Plaza Mayor had numerous holes drilled in the length of the wall, with a diamond bit. In the small room the ceiling is new. The statues in the living room were bought in a Jesuit mission in Argentina, as were the other pieces of furniture in that room. The only “original” ceiling in the house is in the office. The round palm trunks used for rafters were cut locally. The sheeting on top of these beams came from the deck of a ship which transported the first settlers. The orange Spanish Tiles on the roof of the office are mostly original, and were molded on the thighs of the slaves brought from Africa by the Portuguese, for labor for the construction of the city. The Living room and front bedroom furniture, as well as the wooden wall decorations are from the Jesuit missions in Argentina, and were made by Indians who worked for the church. This furniture dates to the 1870’s and was purchased, one piece at a time, by the previous owner. The owner was assisted by two archeologists and an architect. The bed in the front bedroom is Portuguese. The wooden angels on the wall were bought in Argentina. The west wall in the front bedroom is new. The wooden interior doors are new. The hinges and other hardware in the house was made by a famous French Argentine hardware store. The chandeliers in the living room and front bedroom also were crafted in this place. Three different types of wood were used to build the staircase to the upper bedroom by Curupay, Lapacho, and quebracho’. At the time of the restoration, the area of the stairway was all open, with only a ladder open to the upper level. The very weathered beams above the stairwell are railroad ties (not original). The woodwork in this area is mostly made from recycled old wood. The kitchen was added in 1990. The tall china cabinet was brought from Austria. In the garden, the stairway outdoors leading to the upper terraces are made from a wood called Lapacho. The fig tree in the garden is said to be 300 years old. It was quite deteriorated at the time of the restoration. A horticulturist friend of the owner came periodically and doctored the tree. The garden shed was constructed in 1990.

The house is a World Heritage Site (UNESCO), so with the help of an archaeologist they had to appeal to the Cultural Heritage Commission in order to restore it. The main restoration involved removal of the glazed tiles from the old walls, so the stone of the original walls became visible. Special care was taken with the back of the house, the oldest part of the building now a suite, with a la porteña roof. This can also be appreciated in the dining room wall niches, probably used for candles, and now holding an array of carved wooden figures. The idea was to ensure that most of the rooms had at least one of the original stone walls. The walls of Mi Santa hide years of history it was a restaurant called El Catalejo. Even before this, it was a home with the first property title dating from 1823, though it is probable that it was built at the end of the 1700's. In those days houses were registered later, years after the house was built. The patio has seen the footsteps of many generations, each one leaving their own mark, and many stories have been told within these walls. The present owners are also leaving their own stamp with a fountain in the patio emulating the old colonial style as well as the tradition of naming each bedroom. Three loved people are honoured here as well as Taco Larreta, one of the best examples of national theatre, visualizing the house as a 'a presidential box' commemorating his first theatre production performed in Uruguay. The dining room is the most cherished space in the house, and the one she values most. The wall niches add to the mystery of sitting in a XVIII century colonial house, with the floor lighting bathing the stone walls adorned with images of saints. Mi Santa is a dream come true. It is living history, imagining all that happened there in the times of the Banda Oriental. It is living some of the past today, with contemporary comforts.
