This stunning Andalucian Cortijo is set in over 120 hectares of mainly wooded land in the Natural Park of the Sierra de Grazalema, near the village of Benoajan. It was designed and beautifully decorated by the current owners over a 2 year period from the year 2000 to 2002.
The property is reached by a private 1700m track through the grounds consisting of mainly encina oak trees and leads to a gated courtyard area with covered area for car parking.
Based on the footprint of the original, linear, south facing building, it has stunning views of the surrounding landscape, fronted by a mature garden (3 ha)consisting of beautifully surfaced stoned terraces, lawns, swimming pool with barbeque area, a kitchen garden with greenhouse and which also incorporates a small private golf course, par 3, consisting of 5 holes. There are also stables for 3 horses.
The principal entry door leads from a well shaded terrace running the full length of the front of the house, into a large double height living area (88 m2) incorporating a fully equipped kitchen, a dining area and lounge and is overlooked by a minstrels gallery.
From this main space a generous passageway leads to the downstairs studio room, large bathroom with shower, and three large downstairs bedrooms one of which is en-suite. There is access from here both to the front terrace and gardens and to the rear patio area.
A staircase from the passageway leads to the gallery overlooking the main living room and a generous double bedroom (70 m2) with en-suite and walk in dressing room.
The main building also incorporates a large designers workshop of approximately 90 m2 including a bathroom. This has potential to be converted into further bedrooms or a self contained guest house. This is separated from the main part of the house by passageway which also leads to a walk in larder and a wash room.
To the rear of the main house is a partially paved and lawned patio. This patio is borded on one side by a large storage room with porch, (also potential residential quarters), and also includes the water storage tanks, the boiler room and solar panels.
There is Sky television, diesel central heating throughout and solar hot water in the summer months.
There are two water wells and a very strong spring. The gardens have a fully installed irrigation system. Bordering the property to the south is the River.
The property is finished to a very high standard and offers a large range of possibilities either as a main residence or a quality small hotel or even an exclusive restaurant with accommodation.
The property is in easy driving distance to Ronda 10km, and has good communication by road to the Coast. There is also a railway station a few km connecting Granada, Ronda and Algeciras.
