Nature and tradition in Torrelodones

Torrelodones is a pretty town in the autonomous community of Madrid, located some 29 kilometres to the northwest. It lies between the metropolitan area and the Sierra de Guadarrama mountain range. The surrounding villages are Hoyo de Manzanares, Galapagar and the municipality of Las Rozas, where the Barrio de las Matas is also located. It has a total population of almost 23,000 people, spread over the different urbanisations and areas.

The per capita income of the inhabitants of this town is one of the highest in the Community of Madrid, and the services that have most proliferated in this town are the hotel and catering industry, with small local restaurants full of charm and privacy and bars with different atmospheres to suit all tastes, as well as construction, something easy to observe just by taking a stroll through the streets. You can see the great variety of housing that exists in the town, from spacious flats of no more than three floors (due to environmental legislation) located in the centre of the village, to large detached houses, some built at the beginning of the 20th century, and exclusive designer villas in some urbanisations such as Las Marías or Los Robles. Its location between the Sierra de Guadarrama and El Pardo, with enough height to enjoy the views of the capital, make it a unique destination to live or spend weekends surrounded by nature.

Both properties are south-facing on their main façades, with all the protected northern orientations of the foothills of the Sierra de Guadarrama mountain range.

Unique enclave just 30 km from the capital, three registered properties perfect for enjoying an absolutely unique architectural and landscape space, with a building from the early 20th century with all its original features and category intact and contemporary housing in an independent registered property. Endless views, nature and comfort just a stone’s throw from the capital.

The main building, built in the 1920s, is in need of renovation but has been very well maintained over the years. Magnificent chassis with massive walls and high ceilings. Open plan layout around a central courtyard with cross-lighting and maximum luminosity. Facilities are in need of updating. At present the heating is by gas boiler. Spacious service areas, separate storage and garage, large garden on two levels and swimming pool with its own pavilion.

The second building built in the 70’s, with a square floor plan and large windows, is luminous and comfortable, perfect as an accessory guest house.

Investing in the outskirts of the capital is always a safe and timeless value, with growing demand since the confinement of Covid, which has made us value the green and open spaces near the capital as a regular home. Especially when we are talking about one of the oldest and most traditional urbanisations in the Community of Madrid, more than a century old.
