The cortijo is situated within a small friendly hamlet with an old olive museum at the centre, which used to be the village school in years gone by. The setting is very rural but not isolated.

To the front of the home, there is ample terracing and a wooden gazebo with an established grapevine providing much needed shade and offering fantastic mountain views. To the rear of the property there is further terracing, accessed from the 2nd lounge on the first floor, or from the side of the property. There is plenty of garden areas which have been hard & soft landscaped with many mature plants & trees. The garden has been designed with a low maintenance approach and incorporates plenty of colour. Patio areas have been created from which to enjoy the dramatic mountain views to the rear. At the rear of the property you will also find a small pool (measuring approximately 4 x 2m) from where you can cool down, relax and enjoy the views!

Stepping inside the property via the feature stable door, the quality continues to impress. The door opens into the lounge/dining room with exposed ceiling beams, inset log burning fire, wall lights, traditional windows and inset wall features. Overall this room offers the Spanish rustic character that so many of our clients are looking for. An archway ahead provides access to a ground floor double bedroom on the left and also leads to the stairs up to the first floor. The double bedroom boasts exposed ceiling beams and double inset Andalusian-style wardrobes. A door from the lounge then leads into the kitchen, which has been beautifully renovated incorporating fantastic features, such as a large rock in the wall which has been retained. The traditional Andalucian kitchen is fully fitted with all appliances. A large double arch then divides the kitchen from the dining area. At the end of the kitchen, there is another feature log burning fireplace where the current owners have also incorporated a working bread oven. The exposed wooden beams and wooden window shutters continue here as well. A door at the end of the dining room then leads to a very spacious room which is currently open to interpretation. This room has its own access from the front terrace, a chimney provision and a sink and is large enough to form a guest annexe, if required. Currently the space is utilized as a utility room/store and games room. The ground floor layout is completed by a shower room, on the right before the kitchen. This shower room boasts a large double shower tray and vanity unit with mirror above.

Stairs lead to the first floor with a landing area with wrought iron balustrade. First on the right is a generous double bedroom. An archway then leads to another well-proportioned double bedroom, again with the double inset Andalusian-style wardrobes. The hallway then turns to the left and leads on to the huge family bathroom. This is another extremely impressive room with excellent attention to detail; the bathroom boasts Andalusian tiling, vanity sink with cupboards, inset bath and wall mirror. At the end of the hall the second lounge completes the layout.
