The rustic-style Finca is tucked away from the road, accessed via a short private drive that leads to the main gate, creating a sense of peace and serenity. The expansive plot encompasses the property and features natural garden areas that cascade down the hillside towards the rear, leading to the private pool and sunbathing area.
This property presents an opportunity for further development, as there is ample space at the front of the plot to construct another two-level residence measuring up to 200m². This additional dwelling would have its own independent access from the main road.
The Finca is spread across two levels. The main level comprises a spacious lounge with an inviting open fireplace and doors that open onto a terrace, providing breathtaking mountain views. Additionally, this level includes a separate dining room, a traditional-style kitchen with an adjoining laundry room and breakfast area, a large master bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, and two additional bedrooms that share a bathroom.
The master bedroom boasts access to the rear terrace, while one of the other bedrooms opens up to the garden at the front of the property. There is also a study that could be used as an additional bedroom.
On the same level, at the front of the property, you'll find an outdoor kitchen equipped with a BBQ and a covered dining area, a garage, a car port, and paved parking areas. Furthermore, a grassed area adorned with mature shrubs and trees enhances the aesthetics.
An internal staircase leads to the lower level of the property, which comprises a self-contained guest apartment. This apartment offers two more bedrooms and bathrooms, a spacious lounge, a dining area, another traditional-style kitchen, and access to the lower terrace and garden. Additionally, a sizable storage room is available on this level.
Finca La Rana, which translates to Frog Farm, holds historical significance as a previous owner was the renowned botanist Betty Molesworth, who has a park named after her in the town centre. The Finca retains many traditional features and has undergone some modernization by its current owners, leaving ample potential for further development.
Perched on a hill on the outskirts of the town, this property provides a peaceful and tranquil environment while offering easy access to all your needs. Visitors will appreciate its proximity to Gibraltar Airport (15 minutes), Jerez Airport (60 minutes), and both Malaga and Seville Airports (90 minutes), making it an ideal rental property for holidays or a permanent, serene family home with convenient connections to the outside world.
