Country House for sale in Los Reales - Sierra Estepona, Estepona

This gorgeous 4-bedroom country property is set on a large plot in the foothills of the Sierra de Estepona mountains, just 10 minutes drive from the centre of the typically Spanish coastal town of Estepona on Spain’s Costa del Sol – what’s more the owners are open to serious negotiation on the asking price.

Accessed via a gated private driveway and built on the remnants of an old country ‘finca’, the house has been extensively renovated over the last 10 years and is now finished to a high contemporary standard whilst retaining all of its original rustic charm.

For instance, the old house’s almost metre-thick stone walls and archways are still very much in evidence on the ground floor, whilst beautiful wooden beamed ceilings abound throughout.

The main access to the interior of the house is via a couple of sets of heavy rustic wooden doorways located on the ground floor under the covered south-facing terrace, which is shaded by a veritable cascade of bougainvillea most of the year.

This terrace not only offers separate outdoor living and dining spaces, it also has rather fabulous views of the surrounding countryside as it sweeps down a valley towards the Mediterranean and Estepona, the highest steeples and rooftops of which are just about visible at the bottom of the valley.

One set of doors leads from this terrace into a small hallway and from there into a fully-fitted and equipped modern kitchen, whilst the other set open directly into a living room area which comes with its own wood burning heater.

Surprisingly for what is essentially an old property, both these rooms enjoy plenty of natural sunlight (much like the rest of the house) and are linked by a delightful stone archway, as are the living room and the separate dining room.

In addition to these living areas, the ground floor is also home to 2 of the property’s sizeable bedrooms, 1 of which is set just off the kitchen.

The other ground floor bedroom can be accessed directly from the outside of the property, on its northern facade or from the kitchen via house’s ground floor shower room – making it ideal for guests.

The remaining bedrooms and a second bath/shower room are to be found up on the first floor.

Both upper floor bedrooms feature fitted wardrobes, with the master bedroom having access out to an expansive south-facing terrace, which like the ground floor terrace offers up some splendid views.

Outside, the property is blessed with an extensive plot featuring a garden area, a private swimming pool and land upon which grown over 150 fruit trees.

Although it’s fair to say the garden could with some tender love and care to realise its true potential, the pool is in full working condition.

Another notable feature of this property is a vast covered storage building set off in a corner to the side of the entrance driveway which currently houses all manner of garden machinery and tools.

According to the owner, this building was meant to be fully enclosed, but remains unfinished and open on 2 sides.

There’s no hiding the fact that this building is aesthetically at odds with the house itself, but future owners have the option of either finishing the building and making use of a vast indoor storage facility, or simply demolishing it to create significant extra garden space.

It’s also important to stress the property comes with its own very plentiful water supply and water deposit tank plus a mains electricity supply.

And finally, for golf fans this house is right next door to a private 9-hole golf course, the clubhouse of which has a restaurant and bar specialising in typically Andalucian charcoal grilled dishes.
