This extraordinary property combines the majesty of 16th-century architecture—when the historic Hospital Order of Saint John of Jerusalem was established in Castiliscar to protect knights traveling to or returning from the Holy Land during the Crusades—with the conveniences of the 21st century.
Thanks to its privileged location within the village, the house has had multiple uses and renovations over the centuries, always maintaining its relevance and solid structural integrity. It is the perfect canvas for an international buyer seeking an exclusive residence, a vacation home with soul, or an investment project for high-end rural tourism, a sector that continues to grow in the area.
Architecture with soul and majestic spaces

This noble space, rich in history and unmatched textures, is ideal for designing an open-concept living area, a private winery, or a unique entertainment room. The room features a powerful, large-capacity wood-fired oven that not only heats the space efficiently but also enables marvelous traditional roasts.
