luxury property for sale Valdepeñas, Spain

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.

The estate spans 563 hectares and is located in the province of Jaén. Access is excellent, situated just 35 minutes by car from the A-4, via paved roads except for a final stretch of well-maintained dirt road. The property is fully enclosed with game fencing, has no servitude paths, and is equipped with electricity and an authorized, fully operational water well. Two rivers cross the estate, maintaining water year-round, which ensures full access for wildlife. The ecosystem is characteristic of Sierra Morena, with extensive dehesa areas ideal for grazing and with significant livestock potential, for which the relevant permits are already in place. These features make the estate an optimal habitat for hunting activities and for enjoying nature. It benefits from current management plans for both big and small game, as well as a forest fire prevention plan. The property hosts stable populations of red deer, fallow deer, mouflon, and wild boar, as well as smaller species such as partridges and thrushes. At the center of the property is a well-maintained complex of buildings, including a main house, caretaker’s house, agricultural shed, garage, kennels, chicken coop, and various auxiliary structures.
