This historic luxury Costa Brava property to buy is one of the finest examples of 19th Century colonial style houses to be found in the Costa Brava. Typical of properties constructed by wealthy Catalans upon returning from making their fortune in the West Indies in the 19th Century, this impressive mansion is located in the centre of the beautiful medieval town of Begur.
The house is part of Catalunya's arquitectural heritage and has been superbly conserved over the past century. The property still boasts original drawings and frescos on the ceilings and walls, depicting typical scenes - many with a maritime theme - from 19th Century Cuba where the original owner founded a To***co factory.
The property has been sympathetically updated and is presented in excellent condition with all the comforts of modern living (including an elevator, modern kitchen, modern bathrooms and central heating), making it a wonderful private residence.
The mansion boasts 4 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, extensive covered terraces with fresco adorned walls and several large reception rooms. There is scope to create several additional bedrooms and even the possibility to convert the property into a luxury boutique hotel.
The property is located just 50m from the main square in Begur and is constructed on a plot of 1779m2 with easy access by car and extensive parking. The house also boasts a stunning garden with swimming pool, water features, mature palm trees, a rose garden, and orange and magnolia trees.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a slice of history in one of the Costa Brava's most beautiful and sought-after locations.
