The Monastic Mansion, located on the border between Santa Ana and Brasil de Mora, was built and conceived to provide its inhabitants with all the comforts and luxuries for a lifestyle of the highest level. Achieving a flat lot with unobstructed views of the city and mountains, it boasts two entrance accesses, one to the main house and another service entrance for suppliers for any event and for the secondary house used by the service staff. The main house was built and expanded in two tracts, first in 2004 by Zurcher Architects and then in 2013 with a significant expansion and remodeling.
It features two levels and sublevels that ensure the social area is completely private, perfect for guaranteeing the success of any activity. On the lower level, an area currently used as a space with a pool table, bathroom, and its own kitchen and pantry, which could perfectly be used as a loft apartment if needed. Additionally, on this same level are the dining room and bar, all enclosed with glass doors to preserve the impressive view, both areas connecting to the pool and patio with bathrooms and sauna.
Additionally, a wonderfully decorated wine cellar is the perfect space for a pairing evening. On the main level of the house, there is a half bathroom, living room, and dining room with vaulted brick ceilings, followed by a covered terrace that connects to the kitchen with a large family room and pantry. In the service area, there are two service rooms, each with its bathroom and storage room. The TV room, overlooking a beautiful fountain, is the anteroom to stairs that lead to the second floor where there are four spacious bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and walk-in closets. The master bedroom also features a terrace and an external jacuzzi.
This mansion is decorated with the most exquisite taste and detailed with the highest quality finishes such as natural stone floors, vaulted ceilings, some windows with frames brought from India, wooden beams, and natural wood flooring. Additionally, the property has its own water well, which provides all the necessary supply, 5 storage rooms, parking for 4 vehicles under cover and 6 or more outside. Simply a jewel like few others.
