Description

In an enchanting English Country Garden, one might envision a tapestry of beautiful flowers like hydrangeas, foxgloves, sea peas, and roses, all set against meticulously manicured lawns. Here in the sun-drenched landscape of Spain, we present a delightful Spanish alternative, known as a Finca or Cortijo, bursting with vibrant bougainvillea, oleanders, hibiscus, jacarandas, and night-scented stocks, all under a backdrop of clear blue skies.

This Country House embodies the perfect blend of rural tranquility and coastal convenience, situated only a 10-minute drive from the stunning beaches of the Costa del Sol. Whether you prefer the lively atmosphere of Fuengirola or the charming streets of La Cala de Mijas, both are just a short drive away, and the bustling centers of Marbella and the Malaga Airport are easily reachable in less than 30 minutes.

The Cortijo showcases authentic Andalucian architecture, characterized by its pristine white façade and terracotta roof tiles that exude rustic charm. As you enter through the electric gates, you are welcomed by a sweeping driveway adorned with white pebble stones, offering ample parking space for your convenience. The grand wooden front door, a stunning piece recovered from an old hotel in Malaga, invites you into a spacious hallway featuring terracotta-colored floors and high wooden-beamed ceilings that enhance the sense of space and warmth.

From the entrance hall, you can ascend to the master bedroom, step directly into the inviting sitting and dining area, or explore the well-appointed kitchen situated conveniently to the right. To the left, there’s a generously sized ensuite bedroom, along with a cloakroom for guests. Upstairs, a large ensuite bedroom awaits, complete with a private terrace that offers panoramic views over the lush garden and the rolling countryside, all the way to the shimmering sea.

The heart of the home is the expansive sitting room, graced by a magnificent fireplace, which seamlessly connects to a versatile space that could serve as a study, office, reading nook, or cozy TV room. To the right, you’ll find a formal dining room that flows effortlessly into the spacious family country kitchen, where culinary delights await. The sitting room opens to a covered terrace that leads to a meticulously groomed lawn, perfect for leisurely games of croquet followed by refreshing drinks by the pool. For gardening enthusiasts, the lawn is beautifully cultivated with Bermuda grass. Adjacent to the lawn lies a relaxing pool and chillout area, while a hidden vegetable garden awaits discovery behind the pool, inviting you to cultivate your own fresh produce.

Back inside, the large family kitchen is designed for both functionality and warmth, ideal for casual dining with loved ones. It features a delightful "Al Fresco" dining area, allowing for enjoyable meals outdoors throughout the year. With several designated dining areas throughout the house, you can relish the outdoor lifestyle, whether it's basking in the summer sun or enjoying the balmy nights that the Costa del Sol is famous for.

A charming surprise awaits just off the kitchen—a two-bedroom guest apartment, which also has a separate entrance for added privacy. This cozy space includes a bathroom and an open-plan kitchen and sitting room, leading to another outdoor dining terrace, often used as a barbecue area, complete with another lawn that boasts breathtaking mountain views as a stunning backdrop.

Spanning 10,000 m², the Cortijo offers ample land for those with a green thumb, providing opportunities to cultivate avocados, mangos, olives, or even establish a small Moscatel vineyard to produce your own olive oil and wine.

This captivating Country House is ideal for year-round living or as a cherished holiday retreat. It promises the peace and tranquility of countryside life while being conveniently close to all essential amenities. The best way to appreciate its charm and potential is to come and view it for yourself.
