luxury properties for sale Castile-La Mancha, Spain

This majestic Baroque-style palace, built in the first half of the 18th century by order of Juan de la Plaza Solano, royal secretary of Finance of King Philip V, represents a unique architectural gem in Spanish historical heritage. Adjacent to the main building is the chapel of the Holy Family, contemporary in time and style, which retains its original splendor. The palace complex maintains the primitive structure of two floors around a central courtyard, creating a space of balance, serenity, and grandeur. After a rigorous three-year comprehensive restoration, led by the renowned decorator Luis Puerta, the palace has regained all its splendor, combining the authenticity of the 18th century with the most modern comforts. Set on a plot of 3,444 m², with a constructed area of 1,248 m², the property is distributed as follows: Main floor: entrance hall, antechapel and chapel, main hall, summer gallery, smoking room, dining room, kitchen, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a guest toilet. First floor: spacious hallway, large hall, library, choir, laundry room, and five bedrooms with five en-suite bathrooms. The interior retains ornamented double-height ceilings, high-quality floors, and a refined selection of noble materials. The underfloor heating system ensures comfort without altering the aesthetic purity of the whole. At the rear, a romantic garden with lush vegetation, a central fountain, and a pool offer an environment of absolute privacy and timeless beauty. Located in the province of Guadalajara, just 60 kilometers from Madrid, this palace is a unique residence that combines history, art, and exclusivity in perfect harmony.

In Almagro, a 16th-century Renaissance palace with an arcaded courtyard and carved coats of arms.. In 1539, German bankers who financed Charles V's empire had a palace built in Almagro. The portal, sculpted by Juan de Juren, master stonemason, opens onto a Renaissance courtyard where light plays between the arches. The columns still bear the coat of arms of the family who commissioned it. One hundred and fifty square metres of stone and silence, around which the entire residence is arranged. The rooms look out onto this empty centre as one might look out onto a winter garden. The coffered ceilings have stood the test of time. Behind them, a second patio garden bears traces of the horse-drawn carriages that used to enter through here. With an attic under the roofs and a cellar in the depths, the 1,459 m² building still breathes as it did when the Crown's creditors were received there. Almagro celebrates its classical theatre every summer. The palace, meanwhile, awaits its next life: residence, hotel, cultural venue. The stones know how to wait.
