Description
Cortijo de la Finca El Recreo is a more than 100-year-old house in Almayate, in the province of Málaga on the Costa del Sol, preserving the characteristic features of traditional Andalusian cortijo houses. The property is close to the sea, a golf course and a marina, and offers sea views. It has a usable area of 1607 m² and stands on a 32000 m² plot.
The 300 m² main house is arranged around a central Andalusian courtyard. The ground floor includes a kitchen and adjoining room with a wood-fired oven and a modern industrial cold room. The courtyard also provides access to the living-dining room and two further rooms currently used as offices. A staircase from the courtyard leads to 8 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms in the main house.
Following renovation, the house could be used as a restaurant or bar, while the bedrooms could be adapted into a small rural hotel. The property also includes 2 independent apartments, each with a living room, bedroom, kitchen and bathroom.
The extensive grounds include facilities for horse keeping and training:
- 20 stables
- equestrian and warm-up track
