A wonderful old cortijo with stunning sea, mountain and lake views, exquisitely converted into two beautiful homes
A unique country estate with a plot of 5300m2 with some good, flat land of three levles, plus stables. And the views of the sea, mountains, valley of Velez and endless sky are simply beautiful!
At the highest point of the finca there is an old cortijo farmhouse (more than 200 years old) which has been converted in its entirety into two separate houses with a total of 288 m2. The walled courtyard is more than 400m2 and has a wonderful salt water pool (3 x 10 meters), and this is an ideal place for private parties or meetings.
The house is traditional in style, constructed in a traditional bioclimatic way (no need for air conditioning in Summer and the building captures the warmth in Winter). The house has been a reference for the architectural studies of Farfan Estella in Madrid, specialising in bioclimatic constructions. Its history is very varied, once used as a wine press and another time as a 'venta' or inn for those taking the country road from the coast to Antequera.
From the property you have a beautiful view over nine villages (Vélez-Málaga, Torre del Mar, Caleta de Vélez, Triana, Benamocarra, Iznate, Cutar, Almachar and Comares) and of the Sierra Tejeda natural park and its dramatic Maroma peak, down to the Mediterranean sea.
From the walled courtyard doorway, one walks into a huge courtyard which is totally private with a stylish pool to one side and terracing for sunbathing or outside dining. A large palm tree moves gently in the breeze and it feels like being in a secluded place on top of the world! The house is divided into two renovated cottages. Each has 2 bedrooms, living room, kitchen and access from the courtyard and to the gardens on the other side. The main house has a huge glassed terrace which has been constructed specifically to warm the house naturally in the Winter. To the rear, the gardens and plenty of space for planting a fruit tree orchard on its grassy banks.
Other existing constructions: stable 30 m2, utility room 12 m2+15 m2. There is an existing building permit to construct a house of 65 m2 with a maximum height of 5 meters. The property also benefits from a water storage tank of 20,000 l. for irrigation and there are two spring water wells.
Other services: electricity 220 V and 380 V, the electricity line is underground, to ensure no cables spoil the view. There is mains water for household use in both houses. Telephone service (benefiting from a cost of 0.01 /min for international calls), high speed broadband internet (20MB), digital TV and satellite.
There are two ways to reach the property, both have part concrete and part dirt track roads although there is an approved plan to add to the asphalt on the Southern access road to a point close to the cortijo. Access is passable using an ordinary car all year round.
This amazing property might be an ideal location for easy conversion into tourist accommodation, for two families buying together, or for anyone wishing to live here and earn a little extra by letting the other cottage.
