Andalucia, Malaga, Vélez-Málaga, Spain

Stunning, luxury mansion, steeped in history, located just 7 minutes from the beach and 3 minutes from the historic town of Velez-Malaga, set in 9,500m2 of private grounds with exclusive facilities and total privacy Just 35 minutes drive East of Malaga.

Located in the Eastern Costa del Sol, just over half an hour's drive from Malaga city, in the beautiful area of La Axarqua, known for its outstanding, unspoilt beauty. Just 7 minutes' drive from the coast, 15 minutes to the mountains and 10 minutes from impressive Lake Viuela. The main town is under 3 Kms away - the historic, ancient town of Velez-Malaga, with a population of around 70,000.

This is a unique, fascinating and historic mansion, belonging to one of the main, local land owning families in Malaga province, set in extensive grounds and surrounded by a huge, organic avocado farm. This is a unique and special opportunity to own a true piece of history on the Andalusian coast.

Grounds:

Set in private, gated grounds of 9,500m2, the property is approached via a private driveway (through electric, remote control operated gates), to two large parking areas: the first on a lower level, to access the triple garage, (with electric, remote control door), lower floor and kitchen; the second, the main car park area, sufficient for many cars, including 6 under the covered terrace.

From here are access to the grounds on all sides, including a fruit orchard planted with mango trees (this is a tropical valley with an excellent, all year round micro climate that is second to none). A wide sweep of steps from the main car park leads up to a fenced and gated tennis court (the tennis court would benefit from resurfacing) and pretty, built-in seating around the court gives an air of bygone times.

Beyond the tennis court, another gate leads into the 'secret garden', hidden away and surrounded by mature cypress trees, and laid mainly to lawn. This beautiful, secluded garden is known as the Jardines Rosaleda and includes a helipad in the centre, at the moment surrounded by shrubs and bushes.

These gardens are fully fenced, although the plot goes beyond, down a steep bank, with lovely views over the town of Velez-Malaga, around 2/3 Kms away. A path leads around the gardens, past further built-in seating, and down in a circle, back to the car park.

The house is entirely surrounded by gardens on all sides, mainly laid to lawn, including the beautiful pool area, and is not overlooked from any angle.

Full details of the house are available on request.

Pool Area:The pool is a generous size and has some wonderful features, including two fountains, a massage bed and back and foot massage seat. It has walk-in steps and is tiled with white pool tiles to give a Caribbean, light blue effect to the water.

Next to the pool is the covered terrace, with access to the bar and recreation rooms. And adjacent to this area is the large open barbecue area. In the far corner of the pool area is an outside bathroom with wash basin, double shower unit and separate WC. Next to this is the pool house with all the pool filter equipment and plenty of storage space.
