Property Description
This modern holiday home is perched on a hill with sweeping views over a classical Andalusian scene of seemingly endless rolling hillsides of olive, cork oak and orchards.
Accessible from a little country road via a farm track, it is totally peaceful and has the feeling of being completely on its own, even though there are working farms around and about, little changed by the passing of time.
Apart from the obligatory olive trees, this extensive property (the estate comprises 40,000 m2) is planted with every possible indigenous Andalusian fruit tree, including some rare ones, and guests are welcome to help themselves to their delicious bearings.
Inside, the house is spacious and comfortable, a well built, modern Spanish home. In the large sitting room dominated by its wooden staircase, comfortable sofas surround the fireplace.
The country-style kitchen is well equipped and has a door to a shady outdoor eating area under a pergola, covered by a huge grape vine.
The owner, who is a professional interior decorator, has added some exotic touches here and there, such as wall hangings, fabrics and carved screens from India to compliment the local, traditional furniture.
In the lawned garden, benches situated in strategic places provide relaxation and excellent views, or one can sit around the barbecue. There is, of course, the magnificent swimming pool too.
The estate is bordered by a gorge (where wild ducks come to nest), dominated by rugged cliffs. On hot summer days this is a lovely place for a gentle stroll by the side of the stream which runs through the gorge. But take care, it's steep in places.
