Townhouse for sale in Onil, Alicante

At the heart of the old town of Onil, this manor residence, dating back to 1730, rises—a unique property of approximately 800 m2 built, where every wall conveys solidity, every beam tells a story, and each room invites you to stay. Its restored red façade, topped with a heraldic shield attributed to Juan de Juanes and historically linked, by ecclesiastical title, with the Virgen de Onil, is not just architecture: it is identity, it is lineage, it is presence.

As you pass through its large solid wooden gates, the space opens with authority. The entrance hall impresses with its volume and character, anticipating what this home truly represents: authenticity without concessions, and a rehabilitation carried out with technical rigor to ensure stability and permanence for generations. The restoration has been deep and structural: a completely new roof with mesh reinforcement and lightweight concrete with arlita, preservation of traditional techniques such as cañizo, renewed floors removing degraded materials, original beams recovered and treated against wood-boring insects, strengthened with a metal structure, a staircase reconstituted with an iron support and geometry regularized for maximum safety while respecting its original essence. A double wall in most of the home for insulation and protection against damp. Completely new electrical installations and plumbing. Attic with a durable and fireproof floor.

The ground floor breathes authenticity: a double bedroom, a reception area, a living room with a fireplace that invites long conversations, a vintage-style kitchen with a pantry and direct access to a private patio of 60 m2, plus 30 m2 of a chill out area where time seems to stand still. A full bathroom with a bathtub, an intimate retreat space with an altar to the Virgen, and a spacious, open cellar with arched ceilings and natural light complete a floor that connects to the home’s purest essence.

On the main floor, the house expands and becomes the true social hub. Living room with a library, a double bedroom with a dressing room and a full bathroom with a shower, forming a suite-like area, a second bathroom with a bathtub rehabilitated more than 300 years old—an element with its own soul—and a spectacular kitchen of approximately 50 m2 conceived as the heart of the home. A large central table for 8-12 diners presides over the space, accompanied by a wine area, a tea corner, an independent coffee space, and a generous pantry. From here you access an outdoor terrace with a dining area and lounge area, perfect for enjoying the Mediterranean climate with privacy and character.

Between floors, a children’s room preserves the original flooring from three centuries ago, reminding you that this house has seen generations pass by. On the top floor, a loft-style space opens into a contemporary chic open-plan area, with a bedroom and living area with a minibar, a dressing room, and an independent bedroom, plus a full bathroom with a shower. This area opens onto an upper terrace with double height, where light and silence create an atmosphere that is hard to describe and easy to fall in love with.

The home combines porcelain stoneware floors that imitate wood with numerous restored original floors, including restored antique hydraulic mosaics, as well as parquet flooring in the attic. Exterior PVC joinery for thermal efficiency and solid wood interior joinery. Electric heating complemented by a fireplace. Most of the furnishings have been restored and rehabilitated, reinforcing the complex’s personality, aesthetics, and stately character. East, west, and south orientation, ensuring brightness throughout the day.

There are beautiful houses. There are big houses. And then there are the ones that, once you cross the door, you can feel.

This is one of them.
