Description
FOR SALE: MAGNIFICENT HISTORIC COLONIAL ESTATE, A JEWEL IN THE BOGOTA SAVANNA, 47 KM FROM 170TH STREET, BEFORE THE SECOND TOLL BOOTH! Hacienda Boitá is an exclusive and true gem! This marvelous property—there is no other like it—was completed on September 9, 1793, by Royal Ensign Manuel de Cayzedo, and has retained its original design ever since. The bathrooms and woodwork were renovated in the 1950s and 60s by the Swiss architect Victor Schmid. In the 1960s and 70s, architect Patricio Samper Gnecco undertook a significant renovation, adding magnificent windows that enhanced the house's beauty by framing it within the landscape and allowing in the healthy, pleasant sunlight, making it even more inviting! According to historian Pilar Moreno de Angel, on November 26, 1826, the Liberator Simón Bolívar spent the night at the "Hacienda Boitá," where he played a game of cards with General Santander, Juan Manuel Arrubla, and Francisco Montoya... You only have to visit to relive this historic event! The property comprises a total of 51 hectares, almost 17 of which are a native forest reserve, 4 of flat land, and a little over 30 of rolling hills. On the hills is a deep well that provides ample water for the house and the pastures, formerly planted with eucalyptus trees and now used for cattle grazing. The exquisite colonial house, measuring almost 1000 square meters, features a courtyard. The central area where all the living spaces converge features a spacious main living room with a fireplace and a picture window overlooking the valley. A second living room overlooks the gardens; a side patio with a large entrance gate and a small chapel; and a large dining room with a fireplace and views of the native forest. There are nine large bedrooms with four full bathrooms. A spacious kitchen is adjacent to a secondary living and dining room with a fireplace. Generous corridors surround the house. A separate service area includes a living and dining room, kitchen, a large bedroom, and a bathroom. Additionally, there is a small apartment with two bedrooms, a living and dining room, and a bathroom. The zoning of this property is suitable for establishing a club or exclusive boutique hotel, restaurant, or event and social gathering center. The location is unbeatable: very close to the Autopista Norte (North Highway), just before reaching the El Roble toll plaza from Bogotá. You can't help but fall in love with this beautiful property, which requires a little attention and care to greatly reward your investment! I look forward to closing the deal!
