Wunderschönes Landhaus In Der Nähe Von Madrid. Illescas, Toledo

Engel & Volkers, from its Exclusive Estates Department, presents this spectacular country house in Illescas. Located just 1,600 metres from the town centre and 35 kilometres from Madrid.
The property occupies an area of 2.5 hectares where, in the middle of a centenary olive grove, stands a wonderful house of 750 square metres. After passing through an old wooden gate, we enter a reception area with four and a half metre high ceilings.
In the living room, which is completely open-plan, there is a bookcase front made to fit the wall. Light floods the house and the different windows direct the view towards the gardens. The dining room, with a capacity for more than twelve people, seated around an enormous table, anticipates the pleasant evenings that can be enjoyed in this property.
A guest toilet completes the social area of the property.
The private area of the house is distributed in the four corners of the living room, so that the privacy of each bedroom is assured. Each generously sized bedroom has an en-suite bathroom and dressing area. As in the rest of the house, it is worth highlighting the high ceilings and the windows open to the garden. The kitchen, with its own access to the outside, has a large work area and an office area as a dining room. In the service area we find an ironing room, where to keep the household linen, storage area and cupboards. In this wing of the house there is an independent flat, consisting of living room, kitchen, double bedroom and bathroom. It can be used as a staff flat or to accommodate guests. Two pleasant porches invite us to enjoy the manicured gardens surrounding the main house. A 42 square metre, U-shaped swimming pool is a delight in fine weather.
Among the secondary constructions are: a garage with capacity for several cars and motorbikes. Boxes for four horses and tack room. Covered area to park the tractor or more cars.
The property has its own legalised water well, with mineral water suitable for human consumption. From this well water is obtained for drinking and for irrigation of the green areas. It is worth mentioning that this property is the only inhabited enclave in a protected area, next to the Higueral stream.

This region, whose name comes from the Arabic etymology ”al-Saqra”, indicates the fertility of this farming area. It is a flat, gently undulating land dotted with castles. In La Sagra, a region with an extremely serious and sober landscape that has historically been the breadbasket of the province of Toledo, cereals and legumes predominate, and to a lesser extent, vineyards and olive groves.
The town of Illescas is located in the north of the province of Toledo, 35 km from Madrid and Toledo. The streets and houses of the municipality were for a long time a place of passage and lodging on the Court’s journeys between Madrid and Toledo.
Illescas could not be left out of the Don Quixote Route that crosses the lands of La Mancha. This popular route crosses Illescas on its ninth stage, on the way to Carranque.
A city of residence for kings and nobles, and of extraordinary heritage, reflected in unique monuments such as the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Charity, built in 1588 in the Plaza de los Infanzones. The Sanctuary was decorated by Doménico Theotocopuli ”El Greco” and was considered by him to be ”his most perfect work”. We can also admire the spectacular Mudejar Tower, called ”La Giraldilla de La Sagra” which belongs to the parish of Santa María, being one of the few monuments of the Muslim-Christian transition.
