Historic Colonial Estate | Antigua Guatemala

One of Antigua’s most iconic streets, a landmark residence that embodies more than four centuries of architectural heritage. Featured in La Arquitectura de la Antigua Guatemala 1543–1773, this extraordinary estate blends original colonial construction with refined mid-century enhancements, creating an unmatched atmosphere of cultural richness and timeless elegance. Behind its 50-meter façade lies a sanctuary of expansive gardens, serene corridors, and historically significant architectural elements that honor Antigua’s legacy.

Set on a generous 50.66-meter-deep lot, the property comprises over 2,500 m² of construction distributed across 23 distinct spaces, including seven rooms with fireplaces, multiple interior gardens, and an array of beautifully preserved colonial details. Arched portales, handcrafted wooden doors, exposed beams, and stone floors frame views of lush landscaping and the surrounding mountains. Light filters softly into wide corridors, formal living spaces, and tranquil sitting rooms, offering an inviting rhythm throughout the estate.

Complementing its historical beauty, the home offers exceptional functionality: seven en-suite bedrooms, dedicated office and studio spaces, a formal dining room, a spacious library, and a swimming pool set amid mature gardens bursting with native flora.
