Discover this Carthusian Monastery in Sevilla, estate located on a plateau in Sierra Morena, just over an hour from Seville airport. Set within the Sierra Norte Natural Park, the property is surrounded by mixed woodlands, majestic cork trees, and olive groves, offering a serene and picturesque setting.
Restored Carthusian Monastery
The Carthusian monastery in Sevilla is abandoned since the monks were expelled in 1836. Restoration began in the early 1980s, reviving most of the structures except for the third cloister at the rear, which faces the valley. Additionally, the property spans 19 hectares, providing plenty of space for additional development.
Architectural Highlights
The estate includes historically significant buildings such as the main church, chapels, and cloisters. These have been transformed into functional spaces: dining halls, concert venues, exhibition rooms, conference facilities, and guest suites. A large art and pottery studio with a ceramic kiln adds to the property’s versatility.
Natural Beauty and Water Supply
The Carthusian monastery in Sevilla offers breathtaking views of the Sierra Morena, where you can observe horses, sheep, and Iberian pigs grazing in the fields. An artesian well provides a consistent supply of fresh water, a crucial factor for settlement since ancient times. This reliable water source also influenced the Carthusian monks’ decision to establish their charterhouse here.
Accommodations and Future Potential
The estate beautifully combines historical charm with modern amenities. Recent renovations have reinforced the roofs and ceilings of the main buildings, and restored the kitchens and dining halls. An old water mill has been converted into a swimming pool and reservoir. The estate includes 12 double bedrooms in six suites, hosting up to 24 guests. There is potential to restore 26 additional rooms, including 18 former monk units and eight doubles in an unrestored wing.
This National Monument and Cultural Heritage Site offers 1,400 square meters of restored buildings on a 19-hectare plot. The property provides a unique opportunity to own a piece of history while enjoying modern comforts.
