Well-preserved mansion in village where George Orwell stayed during the Spanish Civil War.
This immense house in the village of Angüés just below the central Spanish Pyrenees is steeped in history and would be ideal as a large private country home or for conversion into a hotel or casa rural.
This property, which dates from the 12th century has numerous rooms spread out over 2,400m2 as well as two charming walled gardens. It preserves many of the original features, such as the coat of arms above the door, a 30m deep well and a grape pressing vat.
There is a grand central staircase with former servants’ quarters leading off to the right while the wealthy owners’ apartments were to the left.
There are two large barns, store rooms and a wine cellar.
The building is in a sound state of repair. In one of the barns are interesting floor stones believed to be Roman, while the walls formed part of the old defensive wall of the village from the 12th century. The first floor was added in the 16th century and the upper floor in the 18th.
The property has a garage with space for three cars but a former barn entrance could be reopened to provide additional parking.
It boasts spectacular views of the mountains, the Sierra de Guara and clear fresh air.
Two architects projects have been drawn up and can be viewed; one is for a 22-room hotel and the other for nine large apartments.
The property is close to the Aragon ski resorts of Formigal, Cerler, Panticosa, Astún and Candanchú as well as the Somontano wine area and the Sierra de Guara, very popular with outdoor enthusiasts. The National Park of Ordesa is also close by. Angüés is close to the newly opened international airport at Huesca and within the next couple of years the new Catalunya-Pamplona motorway will make the village much more accessible, although it will be far enough away so as not to interfere with the peace and tranquillity of the property.
