H343 Historic Mansion

This palacial house stands right in the centre of Villa de La Orotava, an historic town in the north of Tenerife.
The initial construction dates back to the end of the sixteenth century although the main facade, with its obvious Neo-classical style, is due to alterations made in 1807 by Don Jos de B thencourt Castro y Molina, and the interior was extensively redesigned at the beginning of the twentieth century.
The facade encapsulates the Neo-classicism in this town because of its symmetry, the arrangement of its spaces, the curved outer wall and the carved stone that crowns the windows of the main floor.
This mansion is built on a plot of 2,172 m2 of which 1.
172 m2 is the constructed area; the remaining 1.
000 m2 is an enormous garden located at the rear of the property.
The 55 m wide main facade, although symmetric, comprises three different styles.
The ground floor is 1,172 m2, whereas the first floor (main floor) occupies 652 m2; in addition there is a very large basement and a roof terrace of which approximately 30% is enclosed.
LAYOUT The property has three distinct areas with the main one in the centre.
On one side, the garage and a commercial premise (vacant), and on the other side, two larger commercial premises (also vacant).
The main area is set round a large, columned courtyard, with wide passageways leading to numerous rooms; to 130 m2 ballroom, 50 m2 kitchen, 33 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms, etc.
One of the drawing rooms on the ground floor has direct access from the street as it was previously used as a shop.
The roofs of the side areas are used as a terrace for the first floor rooms.
Access to the different floors is via the main staircase from the courtyard and there are several service stairs.
The rear facade, with its obvious English influence, is outstanding for its tiled terraces and passages, from which there are wonderful views.
The floors, ceilings and columns of the courtyard are Spanish oak.
Each of the columns has been carved in one piece and between them is a beautiful chandelier.
In addition to the carved stone facade, it is worth noting the other materials used, for example, "chasnera stone", Seville tiles and pieces of forging imported from France.
This mansion is presented in excellent condition; the roofs have recently been renovated and the electrical installation updated.
LOCATION This luxurious property stands right in the heart of the Villa de La Orotava on Carrera del Escultor Est vez Street, an area of great commercial and administrative importance.
The Municipal Library is located around the corner in the same block, and the Town Hall is across the square from the main south-east facing entrance.
The north boundary of this property is on Hombristas Street, next to the parish of Our Lady of Conception.
There is an old carriageway entrance to the north-east side with a long, paved avenue and a large door with access from Hombristas Street.
To the east and on the same street, the main house is separated by servants quarters which have access to the other wings.
Less than 1 km away, the motorway is easily accessed from the main entrance.
The rear of the property is accessed by a pedestrian street which provides peace and privacy.
There are plenty of parking spaces, bus stops, taxis and supermarkets all within 100 m.
