Casa Atalaya | Exceptional 5 Bedroom Residence In Historic Punta Del Este

Set in the historic Casco Viejo of Punta del Este, Casa Atalaya is an exceptional architectural residence overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, occupying one of the most privileged positions on the peninsula.

Built in the early 20th century by British owners, the property has the distinction of being one of the first houses built in Punta del Este, alongside the iconic 1860 lighthouse and surrounded by the historic character that defines this unique part of the peninsula.

The house comprises approximately 257 m² of built space arranged over two levels, set within an 867 m² plot — an unusually generous scale for the peninsula, allowing the property to retain a rare combination of privacy, spaciousness and a strong sense of heritage.

The ground floor is arranged around a series of elegant, well-defined spaces, including the main dining room, a separate kitchen, a formal sitting room and several additional living areas that connect directly with the garden. The private quarters comprise several bedrooms, one of which is currently used as a study, while the principal suite enjoys an intimate relationship with the surrounding garden and vegetation.

The upper floor features a second sitting room, an en-suite bedroom and additional storage areas, creating a flexible and largely independent space for guests or private use.

The exterior is central to Casa Atalaya’s identity. The garden, sea-facing terrace and uninterrupted views create a constant connection with the coastal landscape, while the elevated position enhances both privacy and the sense of overlooking the surrounding scenery.

Located just one block from the coast, the property combines immediate proximity to the Atlantic with the tranquility and exclusivity of Punta del Este’s historic quarter.

A truly unique property, defined not only by its architecture and exceptional location, but also by its place within the history of Punta del Este.
