Located in the heart of the Barrio Histórico, or Old City, of Colonia del Sacramento, this property spans a total area of 480 m². It comprises the main house, covering 142 m² with a 46 m² terrace, a garden of 248 m², and a separate complete house of 35 m². This guest cottage, featuring an independent entrance, is also connected to the main house through the garden. Uniquely, the property includes a garage, a rarity in the Old City. The main house underwent comprehensive renovations in 2009, including updates to sanitation, electrical systems, ceilings, floors, kitchen, and bathrooms. The guest cottage received significant upgrades a few years later.
The entrance hall and two bedrooms are nestled within 300-year-old stone and brick walls, 60 cm thick. Beyond the entrance hall lies a spacious, north-facing open-concept kitchen with a walk-in pantry, dining, and living room. This area boasts panoramic windows that offer spectacular views of the garden and the Río de la Plata. French doors lead out to a large terrace, adorned with a grapevine-covered pergola, providing an unrivaled view of the Colonia fortifications and bay. The house also features a social bathroom, a study, a solar water heater, and two open fireplaces.
The compact guest cottage includes a living-dining room with garden and River Plate views. It is equipped with air conditioning, a kitchenette, a bedroom, a bathroom, and a cozy terrace. The roof, electrical system, kitchen, and hardwood floors have been renovated. Both properties are equipped with Wi-Fi and cable television and come fully furnished, including house appliances. This is the only property in the Historic District that boasts a large north-facing terrace, sheltered from the prevailing southern winds and bathed in sunlight throughout the day. Its central location is just meters from main restaurants and museums, and minutes from all services (banks, hospitals, schools, shops, etc.). Colonia offers frequent ferry service to Buenos Aires (50 minutes) and is only 2 hours from Montevideo by fast road.
