DESCRIPTION

Executive Overview
This opportunity comprises a rare historic luxury estate located in one of Southern Europe’s most climatically privileged coastal regions: the Costa Tropical of Granada. The property, a 19th-century Italian-style palatial villa, is officially listed as Civil Heritage of the City of Motril, combining architectural prestige, scale, privacy, and strong repositioning potential.

Set on an elevated private hilltop, the estate offers panoramic Mediterranean Sea views, overlooking the Motril valley and Salobreña, within a consolidated 20,000 m² private domain of mature gardens and tropical orchards.

The asset is suitable for high-end private residential use or conversion into a boutique hospitality or experiential tourism concept, subject to local regulations.

Building notesThe property has a building permit, approved in 2006, for the development of a 70-room boutique hotel with a restaurant, event pavilion, and enhanced services. It currently operates as a licensed rural guesthouse and a successful event venue, generating substantial income through weddings, concerts, fashion shows, charity galas, private parties, and commercial photo shoots. Twenty thousand square meters of botanical gardens surround the main house, featuring centuries-old trees and tropical fruit orchards, making this estate one of the most outstanding on Spain's southern coast. In 2006, Telva magazine included it among the ten most romantic wedding venues in Spain, and in 2008, Condé Nast Traveller selected it as one of the five best guesthouses in Europe. The main manor house covers 660 square meters, spread over several levels, and has eight bedrooms, each with its own bathroom. The Eugenia Suite and the Habana Junior Suite are the most luxurious accommodations, while six double rooms, named after plants in the garden (Magnolia, Spearmint, Eucalyptus, Ibiscus, and Bougainvillea), offer garden views and their own distinct character. The common areas include a library with a fireplace, a formal dining room with a fireplace, and a living room, all furnished with family heirlooms that create an intimate atmosphere, far removed from the impersonal feel of a typical hotel. The 220-square-meter terrace serves as an al fresco dining area, where guests can enjoy breakfast amidst the tropical gardens. The property retains original architectural details, such as marble staircases and period features that reflect its Italian influence. Two botanical gardens frame the house: an 18th-century garden, inspired by the Generalife in Granada, and a romantic 19th-century winter garden. A 40-step marble staircase connects both levels and culminates in two coral grottos. The grounds are home to araucarias, magnolias, cypresses, a cedar of Lebanon, and various palm trees, including kentias, Washingtonia palms, date palms, and butia capitata. Seven fountains, some over 200 years old, grace the pathways. A rosebush adds seasonal color. The orchards produce avocados, mangoes, persimmons, guavas, bananas, cherimoyas, and oranges. A 13th-century Moorish watchtower and wall are preserved on the estate, along with two Moorish aqueducts that once supplied the property with water. The estate hosts numerous events throughout the year: concerts, weddings, fashion shows, charity galas, and both public and private celebrations. Film crews and fashion brands regularly choose this location for their productions, while gardening societies and cruise ship passengers visiting Motril include it in their itineraries. The approved expansion plans include a 1,500 m² events building, a 1,800 m² main accommodation block with 50 rooms spread over two floors, a 500 m² secondary building with 10 suites, and a 200 m² restaurant with sea views. Parking for 100 vehicles is already available. Solar panels provide sustainable energy.

Reading a price above the area level: a premium per m² is typically carried by location and quality factors — waterfront or views, walkable transport, plot size, recent renovation, and scarcity of the property type. Worth verifying on viewing: condition and renovation year, outdoor space, and how the view compares to similarly priced alternatives.

No map data found nearby for: public transport, water proximity, schools, daily amenities, parks & recreation — worth asking the agent about these.

Positioning within our own current listings in the same area — asking prices per m², not an appraisal or market valuation. Size mix, condition, and plot differ between properties.
