24 bedroom Stately Home For Sale:..

Located in the Sierra Morena (north of Seville), within the
Sierra Norte Natural Park and surrounded by 40 hectares
of woodlands, olive groves, acorn, chestnut and carob trees,
the Cartuja de Cazalla's setting is exceptional.

The grounds house a number of buildings of high historical
value such as the main church and chapels. interior patios
and cloisters, all of which have been structurally restored
and/or converted into art galleries. exhibition halls,conference rooms, bedroom suites and a fully-equipped art and ceramic studio.

The surrounding buildings, amongst them the Pilgrim's Chapel (now a guest-house),The Gate House hotel, and two cottages in the valley house additional accommodation, dining rooms, a bar, lounge areas, terraces and the reception area.

The setting is magical,with awe-inspiring views to the
Sierra Morena where one can observe horses, sheep and
iberian pigs grazing and foraging in nearby pastures.
The premises features abundant fresh water, with an artesian well which is the main reason this site has been inhabited since time immemorial and also the reason the Carthusian monks built their charterhouse on the remains of previous settlements.

The Cartuja went through a period of deterioration, a
degree of which has been purposefully kept, giving the
monument a romantic look and feel. Restoration works
over the past 20 years have been substantial, the roofs and
ceilings of the main buildings have been structurally consolidated, and so have the monumental kitchens and the
monk's dining-hall, and the former water-operated mill
adapted into a swimming pool and reservoir. Some of the
chapels and monk's cells have been converted into new
hotel rooms and suites that are currently managed as a
3-star rural hotel.
