Light and spacious, bright and cheerful, this modern property is located in open countryside just a few minutes drive from historic Ronda ...
This modern country house is neat and comfortable, designed with all the necessities of a family in mind.
This modern country house is located in open countryside just a short drive from the historical town of Ronda and within walking distance of Arriate (around 2km to the centre), one of several charming little villages which are close at hand.
This property was designed with all the necessities of a family in mind. The house is surrounded by lawns, and the private, 400 m2 gardens are completely fenced off.
Within the swimming pool there is a section which is only 60 cm deep, ideal for children to splash around in.
Inside the house is light, spacious and modern. The entrance is through a large porch into a neat and comfortable living room with a dining area and the well equipped kitchen partially separated off alongside.
Splashes of bold colour here and there add a bright and cheerful touch to the design.
It's a superb spot to enjoy lazy days by the pool and the rural peace - with the added advantage that historic Ronda is just a short drive away.
The two bedrooms are equally attractive, both with large en-suite bathrooms. In the utility room there are laundry facilities and a big fridge/freezer.
Winter months are comfortable here with central heating throughout to keep you warm and cosy.
For Spring and Summer, the various outdoor areas and terraces in the neatly kept garden surrounds come into their own for al-fresco dining.
Although there are other residential properties around and about (just about completely hidden from view by the high hedges), it’s a superb spot to enjoy lazy days by the pool and rural peace – with the added advantage that the shops, restaurants, charm and historic interest of Ronda is just a short drive away.
Little Arriate is a very pleasant 30 minute stroll (around 2km) along the country lane. It's as authentically Andaluz as can be.
All around is excellent walking country, up into the Serranía de Ronda or along lanes dotted with little farms.
Arriate is a traditional little market town, authentically Andaluz both in pace (slow) and style (relaxed). There’s no need to take the car, it’s an easy and very pleasant 20 minute stroll along the country lane.
It is described by one writer as “a jack-in-the-box; a surprise package in a plain wrapper”.
“At first sight it appears to be a sleepy rural village waiting, with no sense of urgency, for its grass to grow and its paint to dry. Then, abracadabra! – a corner is turned and the visitor is suddenly thrown into the sophisticated high street of a chic and bustling small town”.
It reminds this writer of the magical moment in The Wizard of Oz “when the pictures on the screen turn unexpectedly from black and white into glorious technicolor”.
A happy, cheerful little home, it's perfect for a relaxed family holiday under the blue skies and golden sunshine of Southern Spain.
Nearby Ronda (just five kilometres away) is a lovely town, Hemingway’s favourite in all Spain. A classic example of a fortified Moorish city – the old defensive wall, the area’s baths, mosques converted to churches by the Christians, and many other sites of archaeological interest – it is brimming with history and interest. A visit to its famous bridge and bullring, reputedly the oldest in the country, is a must.
A little over an hour’s drive through the spectacular scenery of the Serranía de Ronda will take you to the beaches of the Costa del Sol. The Atlantic beaches on the stunning Costa de la Luz take two hours.
To the north, stunning Seville is also 2 hours away. Córdoba and Granada are a further half hour’s drive.
The lush Grazalema National Park, some of the most wonderful walking and riding countryside anywhere in Spain, is only 25 minutes drive away. Here you will find some of the most beautiful of the famous “white villages”. Elsewhere, Arcos de la Frontera, Setenil, Gaucín and Casares are all well worth a visit.
An attractive home, it’s ideal for a relaxed family holiday and also as a great base from which to explore the delightful countryside and cultural riches of this wonderful part of the world.
