Between Dehesas And Water: The Renaissance Of A Luxury Cortijo In Extremadura

In the heart of the Extremaduran dehesa lies this unique estate of 70 hectares, where an ancient cortijo dedicated to agricultural work has been carefully transformed into an exclusive recreational residence. The project preserves the essence of traditional architecture while incorporating spacious, bright areas designed for maximum comfort. The main house, with 650 m² built on a single floor, is organized around a large central courtyard paved with elegant arcades that connect the different rooms. Inside, the home offers a hallway, two spacious living rooms with a fireplace, dining room, fully equipped kitchen, and a guest bathroom. The private area houses seven bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms and individual terraces, designed to enjoy the surroundings with complete privacy. The common areas open to the courtyard through large windows that fill the spaces with light and lead to the outside, where a pool with privileged views of the reservoir becomes one of the main attractions of the property. Below this area is a space dedicated to wellness with a gym, sauna, changing rooms, and bathrooms. The estate is completed with several auxiliary buildings, including a 90 m² caretaker’s house with two bedrooms, a greenhouse, and a facilities shed. The land, with gentle topography and fully fenced, combines a consolidated dehesa with olive and vineyard plantations, as well as a vegetable garden and greenhouse. The property also features a solar park, which contributes to its energy supply. Its location, with direct access from the road and bordering the Valdecañas Reservoir, allows for enjoyment of an idyllic landscape and water activities in the heart of nature, all just 90 minutes from Madrid. A unique property that combines privacy, tradition, and luxury in the heart of Extremadura.
