Description
Historic mansion located on an 87,000 square meter estate in Villajoyosa, just 5 minutes from the beach and 35 minutes from Alicante. Dating back to the early 19th century, the mansion was originally owned by Dr. Esquerdo, an eminent psychiatrist and pioneer of neuropsychiatry and occupational therapy in Spain, as well as a notable member of parliament for Madrid in the Congress of Deputies during the 19th and 20th centuries. The mansion is U-shaped and constructed with load-bearing stone masonry walls and wooden beam floors. It boasts over 630 square meters of built area distributed over two main floors. The ground floor, with an area of 378 square meters, features a spacious entrance with a covered patio and a spectacular living room with a rear exit. In the south wing are three main rooms: a spectacular Art Nouveau living and dining room with a coffered wooden ceiling, another living room that leads to a bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, and a third room, currently a library, accessed through a small sitting room. There is also a small office. In the north wing are one bedroom, a kitchen, and two bathrooms. The upper floor, accessed by a spiral staircase, offers over 250 square meters of living space, including two living rooms (one with a fireplace), seven more bedrooms (the master bedroom also has a fireplace), two bathrooms, and a spectacular terrace facing the sea. There is also an auxiliary building of 444.45 square meters on the ground floor and 134.80 square meters on the upper floor.
