Finca for sale in Casares

The asking price has recently been lowered on this charming, rustic-styled 5-bedroom country property that comes complete with a substantial plot of land, horse stables, an independent guesthouse and a gatehouse in need of renovation.

Located some 15 minutes inland from the Costa del Sol near the village of Casares, the property is entirely secluded, surrounded by some of the finest rural countryside Andalucia has to offer.

The property’s remote controlled gates open onto a grand driveway, with the ruins of an old cottage almost hidden from view behind bushes beside the gate.

This building is ideal for renovation and could easily be turned into a gatehouse or a self-contained guest house.

The gardens immediately surrounding the house are neat and well-kept, in stark contrast to the gloriously wild terrain all around the property.

The views west across the lower lying mountains and valleys, and north to the mountain village of Gaucín are simply breathtaking.

The property’s south-west orientation means the garden, pool and the poolside patio areas are blessed with sunshine for most of the day.

The plot the house is built on is so vast, it’s not overlooked by any other property at all, and so affords absolute privacy.

The self-contained guesthouse can be found at the end of the garden, which boasts its own living area, spacious kitchen-dining room and a bedroom with en-suite bathroom.

Located immediately opposite the guesthouse, across a small courtyard shaded by a large Carob tree is a set of stables, with room for two horses.

There’s a considerable amount of land beyond the stables.

For buyers prepared to spend a little time and effort making this area usable, its potential either as an exercise area for horses or as an extension of the gardens really can’t be overestimated.

The house has been designed in classical rustic style, with plenty of natural light, terracotta floors and architectural flourishes throughout including arched doorways and high wooden-beamed ceilings so typical of country houses in this region of Spain.

The dining area is as generously proportioned as you’d expect from a house of this stature.

The kitchen is fitted with the latest Bosch appliances, with a large work island/breakfast bar in the centre.

On the second floor is an ample living room area with an open fireplace and a doorway leading out to a massive roof terrace with a pergola and a BBQ/outdoor kitchen area.

The 5-bedrooms are all of a generous size, the master and 3 other bedrooms all feature en suite bathrooms.

There’s a gym/office space on the top floor, with its own small terrace.

The finca also has a large garage for two cars, a machinery room, gas fired central heating, phone and internet connections and is supplied with mains water and electricity, with a 60.000 litre water deposit and a back-up battery for two days.

In terms of the price, this country house represents an incredible opportunity for someone to own a large Spanish family property, with plenty of land ideal for keeping horses in the heart of rural Spain, yet close to all the amenities of the Costa del Sol and Gibraltar.
