Engel & Völkers presents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for those seeking a unique property, designed as a luxurious private retreat for complete disconnection, a venue for high-level equestrian activities, or an unprecedented real estate investment. Set against the relaxing landscapes of the Andalusian countryside, this spectacular 100-hectare estate redefines the concept of elegance and sophistication.
Time stands still as one passes through the impressive gates enclosing this architectural jewel. Its exterior design features an imposing symmetrical façade adorned with two towers in the Sevillian Baroque style, giving way to a large-scale architectural work completed in 2005 by the respected architect Javier de Bethencourt Enríquez (author of emblematic projects such as the restoration of Seville’s Royal Mint and the Bucarelli Palace). To ensure absolute durability, a monumental foundation and engineering project was carried out, resulting in an exceptionally solid construction. On this unshakeable structure, the original character of the Andalusian cortijo and its mill has been meticulously preserved, masterfully incorporating fine materials and architectural elements salvaged from historic demolitions, carefully selected from former convents and stately mansions.
The result of this colossal intervention finds its perfect balance in the interior design by the prestigious Adela Cabré, summed up in the apt premise: “A cortijo, yes—but with design and luxury.” Traditional essence has been combined with clean lines, open spaces and contemporary sophistication, creating an authentic experience of relaxation and well-being. The rooms are adorned with welcoming terracotta floors, natural and carefully maintained to preserve their original shine and beauty, perfectly complemented by magnificent made-to-measure solid wood doors brought exclusively from Provence. This avant-garde comfort is ensured throughout the year by a zoned climate-control system, underfloor heating, ambient music and the highest-quality carpentry.
The 1,882 m² of built area is intelligently arranged around a majestic main arcaded courtyard with double arches, dividing the property into two wings to ensure functionality and privacy. On one side, the area built over the former 18th-century olive oil mill was designed for entertaining guests. This space impresses with its vast open areas and lofty vaulted ceilings, accommodating living areas, a reading room and an elegant bar. Its dining room is a genuine museum piece: the imposing original earthenware vats remain perfectly preserved beneath a spectacular walkable glass floor, allowing visitors to engage with their profound historical legacy. This area includes an industrial kitchen for events and houses five exceptional guest suites, each equipped with a private bathroom, dressing room and individual air conditioning.
On the other side of the courtyard lies the main residence, the private family area. Here, the sitting rooms and dining room, presided over by elegant fireplaces sourced from French antique dealers, open onto spacious furnished porches facing the gardens. There is a perfectly equipped main kitchen with a service area and laundry room, as well as direct access to an exclusive wellness area including a gym, sauna and spectacular heated indoor swimming pool. The sleeping quarters are completed by eight exceptional suites and bathrooms, along with a separate staff apartment. The dimensions of these suites deserve special mention: conceived as true sanctuaries of rest, some include integrated private sitting rooms, offering guests maximum privacy and unparalleled comfort.
The exterior of this incomparable property is a genuine work of living art. The impeccable landscaping by María Medina Muro (author of projects at Madrid’s Royal Botanical Garden, La Granja de San Ildefonso and the Picasso Museum Málaga) is evident in the striking symmetry of its geometric hedges, romantic tree-lined paths and walkways beneath evocative pergolas. Presiding over the gardens is a sublime sculptural work by the renowned artist Xavier Corberó, strategically arranged to form the word “AMOR” when viewed from the air. This setting of cultural heritage culminates in a beautiful private chapel.
All this is complemented by exclusive leisure facilities that meet the highest expectations. The estate features a vast heated infinity-edge swimming pool (20 x 8 metres) with its own pool house, an official padel court and, making use of its 17.6 hectares of dryland farmland, extensive areas ideal for breeding and training horses, crowned by an extraordinary riding arena.
The property guarantees complete water independence through its four licensed wells, ensuring a constant supply for maintaining the gardens and pool and for residential use. It also has mains electricity and a comprehensive telecommunications network with its own data antenna and Wi-Fi, combining rural charm with state-of-the-art connectivity.
More than a dream retreat, the size of this plot and its unique features make it an ideal canvas for developing a future ultra-luxury boutique hotel project or an international equestrian resort, subject to licensing. In addition, there is the possibility of unused development capacity (subject to technical confirmation), providing enviable flexibility for this investment.
This estate is not merely a home, but the purest and most refined Andalusian lifestyle, set in an environment of absolute privacy near the historic city of Carmona and just 20 minutes from Seville and its International Airport.
