In the Morera or Umbría area of Ontinyent, the Santa María estate combines rural architecture, wooded areas, and open views of the agricultural landscape and mountains. Its entrance, framed by a wall and a wooden gate bearing the property’s name, anticipates the character of a complex closely connected to country life.
The house comprises volumes of varying heights, tiled roofs, and a spacious tree-lined courtyard around which several buildings are arranged. Exposed stonework on some façades and paved areas add texture and character to the exteriors. The deed describes a country house with several rooms and ancillary spaces, as well as a livestock pen and wine cellar, reflecting the property’s agricultural connection.
The surroundings combine dirt tracks, crops, olive trees, and specimens of pine and cypress. The photographs also show several water reservoirs and an outdoor swimming pool, from which the surrounding landscape can be viewed. These features create a succession of open spaces with distinct atmospheres.
Santa María offers a characterful foundation for anyone who values rural architecture and wishes to develop a restoration project connected to its surroundings. The courtyard, shaded areas, and visual relationship with the countryside are its main attractions for imagining a peaceful residential experience, subject to verification of the buildings’ condition and their potential for adaptation.
