The Mackey Villa, formerly owned by one of the founders of Rekra, is for sale for 1.85 million euros.

Despite its central location, the villa is sheltered by bushes, providing great privacy and making it difficult to observe its beautiful layout. The villa's English courtyard style architecture is an excellent example of the significant British influence in Huelva during that period. The first owner of the property was a Scottish physician, William Alexander Mackay, who worked for the former Rio Tinto Ore Mining Company and became president of Recreativo de Huelva after its founding. All of this led to his being named an honorary son of Huelva in 1923, where he was considered one of the most prestigious surgeons in the areaAndalusia.

The villa, one of the most emblematic in the neighborhood, is located next to another famous building in Huelva, a private onehouseDr. MacDonald's, designed by the same architect and also part of the city's English heritage.

After the villa was no longer owned by the Scottish doctor, it passed into the hands of local families who looked after its condition. The death of the last owner led to his heirs putting the villa up for sale. The doctor's nephew, John Macdonald Mackay, also had ahousenearby, which was incorporated into a residential development at the turn of the century, allowing it to be preserved over the years.

Villa Mackay has become one of the most expensive properties in the capital city of Huelva, and visitors should demonstrate financial security before arranging a viewing. The price includes a garage space and an impressive terrace. The large garden will allow the future owner to relax surrounded by nature in the heart of the city. Although the house was built on the outskirts, the expansion of the town has brought it into the heart of Huelva.

A wave of curious people interested in thisreal estatewith a rich history for an Andalusian city, together with its unique design, has led the Huelva Municipal Council to consider including it in the Catalog of Buildings and Elements of Interest of the General Urban Development Plan. In this way, the protection of the building will focus on its structural integrity, which will prevent its destruction due to the economic crisis and avoid changes in its height and occupancy.
