Description
This totally unique, spacious estate is located in the beautiful village of Benahavis. Literally a few minutes' walk into this charming white village, this cortijo-style property is a tranquil haven away from the bustle of the pueblo.
Within easy reach of prestigious golf courses, beaches and with Puerto Banús just a 10 minute drive away, this beautiful finca is a private haven - the quintessence of the Andalusian dream home.
The property comprises 17.000 sq. metres (4 acres) of naturally landscaped land blending beautifully with the countrified setting and rolling hills beyond. Complete with all amenities, two large buildings and various outbuildings - the main house covers approx. 300 m2 built.
You approach the house via a long, sweeping, tree-lined driveway, and a forecourt to accommodate several cars. Designed by an artist, the house itself incorporates many unique features including stunning wooden doors gleaned from all corners of the globe. Created in traditional andalusian style, the house features stunning terracotta tiled flooring throughout, wooden-beamed ceilings, a farmhouse style kitchen and wooden shutters.
With 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, the Master bedroom has a bathroom en-suite, and the rooms from the upper floor all look out onto the beautiful surrounding countryside. On a further floor, there is a sizeable room which could be another bedroom, studio or leisure room.
The cortijo is surrounded by magnificent gardens populated with mature trees, a shaded patio and large pool with an area of sunshade. The other building was formerly a sculpture studio with squash court of almost 400 sq. meters and was designed for easy conversion into a 4/5 bedroom house.
While adjacent to the village and private, the new 2019 Benahavis town plan contemplates the possibility of developing the property more fully.
The municipality of Benahavis is one of the most affluent communities on the Costa del Sol, comprising the traditional white village - famous for its restaurants , La Zagaleta private estate and a host of beautiful properties and developments stretching into the rolling hillside just inland from the coast. Only a few minutes drive to the Coast, Benahavis is close to Guadalmina, San Pedro de Alcantara and Puerto Banús.
