Cortijo for sale in Casares Montaña, Casares

This gorgeous, typically Andalucian ‘Cortijo-style’ country house with substantial equestrian facilities is located just 5 minutes from the coast and 10 minutes from the coastal town of Estepona on Spain’s Costa del Sol.

Surrounded by an extraordinarily beautiful landscape and a countryside dotted with cork, olive and walnut trees, and with some 5 golf courses just a short driving distance away, the house was built in 2003 using only the highest grade materials.

This is immediately evident the moment you step in to the property’s large reception hall through the main front door, which is made of walnut and dates back to the XVIII century.

The rest of the house also boasts antique doors – of the mahogany variety – whilst the window frames and external doors are all made of dark Iroco hardwood.

The house is very large, with terracotta floor tiles throughout and an average of 4 metre high wooden-beamed ceilings.

To ensure it keeps warm during the cooler winter months, there’s double-glazing installed throughout along with a unique ecologically-friendly central heating system that harnesses natural energy to not only heat the house, but also to provide hot water throughout.

The ground floor of the main house consists of the reception hallway, which leads through stained glassed double doors to a spacious living room area.

A separate dining room can be reached from this living room via a stylish archway.

Both the living room and the dining room have direct access via sliding patio doors to the main south-facing terrace.

This covered terrace area is quite simply huge, spanning the entire with of the house and incorprates an outdoor kitchen, an outdoor dining area and an living area.

A lawn sweeps down from the terrace to the property’s swimming pool.

In addition to the outdoor kitchen, the house is also blessed with a state-of-the-art internal kitchen which comes with its own dining area and separate utility room.

The ground floor is completed by a study off the main living room, and two large offices which share a bathroom and a kitchenette and have patio door access out to the main terrace.

Upstairs is where the property’s 5 bedrooms can be found – 3 of which are blessed with their own en suite bathrooms – along with a further study area.

This study has a spiral staircase leading up to a loft space/tower with fabulous views of the surrounding countryside, the mountains and the sea.

Adjoining the main house is a self-contained guest house, with its own living room, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom.

In the same building as the guest house a large basement can be found with a wine cellar, a suana/gym room and a covered car parking for up to 3 cars.

Interestingly for potential buyers, this property is sold with an expansive plot of land upon which are situated 3 individual rural houses with 2 water wells and two x 150m2 exercise paddocks, each of which currently lies in ruins but come with official building licences in place.

This in itself makes this particular cortijo a significant investment opportunity, as current land laws in Andalucia prohibit building work of any kind in the area on properties that were not granted permission before the law came into effect.
