Townhouse for sale in Manuel, Valencia

We present this precious and valuable property, whose origins date back to the 17th century and whose coat of arms on the main façade dates to the year 1900. At one time, it belonged to the monks of Sant Miquel dels Ries and, many years later, after suffering wars and being put to various uses according to the needs of the town, it was privately acquired by a family who understood the significance of the building when starting the restoration works. These works lasted for several years due to the very poor condition of the roofs and the interior layout. For this reason, its owners developed a not-easy project where they would combine history with functionality and transform the property into a great home.

The entire layout of the building, which has façades on three streets, is arranged across three main floors. Given the slope of the building, which rests on a hillside, it has direct access from the street through the main entrance door and also direct access to the third floor from the back street.

When we enter the building through the main entrance, we immediately notice the unique layout, all oriented toward the welcoming courtyards. On both sides there are two bedrooms with a lounge and bathrooms incorporated in each. There is also a small patio with a covered porch that connects to the main staircase giving access to the upper floor. There is a beautiful kitchen with a fireplace, a room intended for pantry and storage, and access to the large patio with a central fountain. From this patio, we reach the old stables, now a fully usable and restored room. This patio also includes the large machine room (central heating for the building, tanks, and others), a small natural cave that enhances the building, and the old service staircase that connects the three floors. All bedrooms have their own independent air-conditioning split, and the property has central heating.

The first floor has been used mainly to this day as the principal residence: a central living room with windows to both courtyards, and from it you enter the full kitchen with a fireplace. There is a guest bathroom, two connecting living rooms, one of them with a fireplace, a separate laundry room, the master bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and an enormous walk-in closet, and another bedroom with an en-suite bathroom with a hydromassage bathtub and a small anteroom. Several of these rooms could be transformed according to the needs and the intended use of the property, into additional bedrooms.

The third floor has access via the service staircase. Upon arrival, we find a large terrace that houses a beautiful swimming pool, a large multi-purpose room that has been converted into an attic-style space, and the rest of the floor is entirely open-plan, ready to be converted and worked on as one wishes. The roofs are new, as are the installations. The client could even imagine the destination of all the rooms and available square meters in the entire building, even a boutique hotel.

Casa Gran is a building located in the small town of Manuel, just about a 15-minute walk from the suburban train station with frequent service. Important cities such as Xàtiva, Carcaixent, and Alzira are only a few minutes away by car. The town, far from the hustle and crowds, offers services, including well-known restaurants in the area, many green spaces of fruit and citrus groves, and is sheltered by the sunny Mediterranean climate.

Relatively short distances to Valencia, the airport, and the sea (40 minutes by car). Ten minutes separate it from Carcaixent, Alzira, and Xàtiva; 20 minutes to the La Galiana Golf Course; 20 minutes to natural landscapes located in Antella, La Murta, the Sierra de las Agujas, etc. A true gift of peace and quiet near many tourist attractions and major services, both for leisure and for daily practical living, with access to public transportation by suburban trains.
