This Country Estate , is a 1.000 hectare country estate located in the heart of the "Sierra of Hornachuelos" in Cordoba, the most exclusive game hunting area in Spain, favourite spot of King Alfonso XIII. It is 56 km far from Cordoba and 100 km from Seville, two of the most beautiful and artistic cities in Spain, both having airport and High Velocity Train stations. It would take 2 ½ hours from Madrid (450km.) via HVT.

The farm has a morphology of unique beauty, full of pastures and mountains, with lush Mediterranean vegetation, ideal for the hunting practice. Two hunting parties are organised every year, with approximately a total bag of 80-100 deer and 30-50 boars. There is a wide network of tracks throughout the estate (35 km), bridges and two dams -with a capacity of 70.000 and 250.000 m3- for the sole use and enjoyment of the tenants.

The House was built (1.971-76) It is an outstanding and highly artistic Andalusian palace on top of a mound with marvellous views across the Cordobese Sierra. It was designed and its construction supervised by the eminent architect, historian and writer, Mr. Fernando Chueca Goitia, responsible for so many distinguished works such as Madrid´s Cathedral, la Almudena.

The built area covers 3000 square meters and comprises various sections and apartments linked to one another by Andalusian courtyards- like the Orange Tree or the cloistered Moorish patios-and girdled by belfries and turrets, the church and the prominent 16m renascent-style tower. Including the keeper's and other staff lodgings, there are 25 rooms, 19 bathrooms, a reception hall, a dining-room, the main and the upper living-rooms, the great hunters' hall, a big game room, an extensive industrial kitchen complex, as well as a utility room, laundry, wine cellar, engine room, etc. Inner architecture is characterised by the magnificence of the andalusian baroque palatial style, with its adornments, vaults, archways, ceramic tiles and wooden ceilings.

The building stands in a walled area of 14.000 sq. Mt., amidst a combination of a variety of ornamental structures, gardens and orchards. Pavilions, balconies, chapel-like constructions, fountains, moats, even a quaint swimming-pool, as well as countless trees and flower-beds, all contribute to create a charming atmosphere evocative of the last Arab inhabitants of the Alhambra of Granada.
