A fabulous estate of nearly two acres, in one of the most spectacular areas of Mendoza. A walled estate with automated, remote controlled, electronic, full security entrance gates: Kept lawn and gardens with a selection of fruit trees including Fig, Lemon, Pomegranate, mature hardwoods, rose gardens and flowering shrubs, including old fashioned and beautifully fragrant, “Gardenia”. Children’s climber and play set.
The principal house (or villa), is approximately 55 years old, made of adobe with a steel infrastructure; retro-fitted with high-grade modern wiring and plumbing as well as central heating and air conditioning. Villa Mendoza, with its five bedrooms, open style dining and sitting area, breakfast nook, large kitchen and pantry and three patios, was renovated and refurbished in 2007 under the consultation of esteemed Argentinian architecto, Jorge Bobillo: approximately 550m2 (~ 6000 sq.ft.)
On the southern extreme of the property, a large quincho (traditional Argentine entertainment house): It has a well-equipped kitchen area and the capability to seat 120 people, banquet-style. (For larger events, ask for a separate rental quotation for the quincho.).
Immediately outside the quincho, there is a large, covered food preparation area, complete with a massive built-in churrasquera capable of grilling a goat and a pig, for example, simultaneously. (On an everyday basis, the quincho is a great place to play ping-pong, or to take advantage of the separate washrooms and dressing rooms, to shower and change after swimming.)
The villa has 5 bedrooms. The master bedroom, with a king-size bed, has a full ensuite bathroom, and an attached dressing room that can also function as an additional bedroom for the balance of a small family.
A second bedroom with a king-size bed has a newly renovated 3-piece ensuite washroom.
The third, fourth and fifth bedrooms (one king, one double, and one with two twins) are all within a few meters of a large, newly renovated, 4-piece bathroom.
All rooms have heating, and air-conditioning and fine cabinetry closets are found throughout the house. The spacious, comfortable living room has a high, traditional polished wood ceiling. A heavy, classic marble-topped dining room suite, made to seat up to twelve people, is surrounded by windows overlooking the estate and the northwest galleria.
A quaint, separate breakfast room, an office/library, a pantry (complete with a full-wall, pupitre-style wine rack), and a fully equipped kitchen round out the list of principal rooms.
In the central courtyard, located just off the kitchen and entirely surrounded by the house, there is a tiled cooking area with a built-in churrasquera barbeque, and a large, traditional, wood-fired brick oven. Off the central courtyard are also located the laundry room, a utility room and a servicio washroom.
