Country House for sale in Casares Montaña, Casares

This 4-bedroom country house originally built in 1985 and completely renovated in 2005 is set in a secluded spot in arguably the most idyllic rural valley near the Andalucian white village of Casares, just 10 minutes drive inland from Spain’s Costa del Sol.

To say this house has bags full of character is to understate things considerably.

Suffice to say that if you’re looking for well-priced rural property that’s in immaculate condition, tastefully decorated, has a decent sized plot of land with fruit trees and a spacious yet manageable garden and swimming pool area, this house is going to be hard to resist.

A dirt track road takes you from the main coast to Casares road to a set of electric security gates, which open on to an asphalt driveway that winds up the hillside to a white gravel parking area with space for 4 or 5 cars.

To your right sits a solitary wooden bench keeping watch over a beautifully wild tree-shaded area which leads past a garden shed to a well-irrigated grove of lemon and orange trees beyond.

The chirping of birds and the gentle burbling of a brook down in the gulley below are quite literally all that can be heard here.

Heading back towards the house and crossing the white gravel car park area you reach a terracotta tiled patio.

To your right, there’s a sizeable independent guest cottage with a master bedroom en suite, plus an open-plan living room with a fireplace.

Ahead, the patio leads to a covered porch under which you find the solid wooden front door of the main house.

Just beyond that, a delightful square courtyard is situated next to the kitchen – ideal for a spot of rural ‘al fresco’ dining.

From this courtyard, a pathway takes you on past the kitchen along the north-facing side of the house – which, incidentally, offers fabulous views of the surrounding mountain range – to a much larger terrace with its own dining area and from there to the south-west facing garden.

With a manageable expanse of lawn bordered by pine trees and sub-tropical plants, the garden leads to the property’s heated swimming pool, which features a wide terracotta tiled sun deck.

And so to the interior of the house, which can be accessed either from the main front door, a kitchen side door and no less than 6 separate patio doors in the living room and ground floor bedrooms.

Stepping inside via the kitchen door, I found a generously proportioned, typically rural kitchen with terracotta floors, rustic style units, granite work surfaces, high-quality appliances and patio door access out to the main covered terrace in the garden.

A set of double doors took me through from the kitchen to the spacious living/dining room which comes replete with dark wood parquet flooring, a high wooden-beamed ceiling, a sizeable fireplace and 3 sets of patio doors out to the main terrace and garden.

From here, a corridor guided me down past a guest W.C., to 2 of the property’s 4 bedrooms, the first of which is currently in use as an office space.

Both these rooms feature cream carpets and have patio door access out to the garden and pool areas.

A carpeted staircase leads up to the first floor master bedroom suite, which is also carpeted and boasts an en suite bathroom and via a delightful archway feature, a vast walk-in dressing room with stylish fitted-wardrobes.
