About the Property
In the Valdegovía valley, in Álava, a historic 16th-century residence, accessible via a Roman bridge. A residence that seems to have escaped the passage of time. Built in 1582, Venta Blanca stands in the heart of the Basque valley, guardian of a memory that nothing has altered. Its thick stone walls, generous volumes and access via a Roman bridge give the place a suspended, almost unreal atmospher
In the Valdegovía valley, in Álava, a historic 16th-century residence, accessible via a Roman bridge. A residence that seems to have escaped the passage of time. Built in 1582, Venta Blanca stands in the heart of the Basque valley, guardian of a memory that nothing has altered. Its thick stone walls, generous volumes and access via a Roman bridge give the place a suspended, almost unreal atmosphere. John Adams, future president of a nation yet to be born, stayed there in 1780, and this anecdote says something about the attraction that the house has exerted for centuries. The surrounding area, with its ancient salt flats, medieval villages and unspoilt hills, forms an unspoilt landscape, far from the tourist trails, yet easily accessible from Bilbao or Vitoria. The property would be ideal for someone looking for a characterful residence or for a hotel or cultural project. The possibilities are endless, the history palpable, the surrounding nature unspoilt.
