Description
In the countryside near Gaucín, in the province of Málaga on the Costa del Sol, this characterful country property enjoys panoramic mountain and sea views. Set on 35,000 m² of land, it offers 180 m² of usable area, two bedroom suites, a swimming pool, mature gardens and several outbuildings.
Designed and built in the 1980s to an individual architectural concept, the house combines traditional Andalusian character with generous, light-filled interiors. A double-height reception hall with chestnut beams, handcrafted stone details and a large arched picture window forms the impressive centre of the home, framing views across the surrounding landscape.
The main living area is open plan and incorporates a sitting room, dining area and country-style kitchen. Exposed beams, traditional terracotta floor tiles, a wood-burning stove set into a fireplace and large French doors opening onto the terraces add to its rustic character. Behind the kitchen are a large walk-in pantry, utility room, storage room and secondary entrance. Stairs lead down to a substantial garage or storage room.
One bedroom suite occupies the upper floor and includes a dressing room and en-suite bathroom finished with traditional handmade Andalusian tiles. The second suite is located on the lower level and also includes a dressing room and en-suite bathroom. Its separation from the main living areas makes it well suited to guests.
The mature gardens feature cypress trees, flowering oleanders, blue mimosas and agave plants. Stone paths lead through the grounds towards terraces and viewpoints. The swimming pool is surrounded by terraces and generous lounging areas. Beside it is a large terrace for outdoor dining and a covered dining area framed by traditional Mudéjar-style brick arches.
Several additional buildings and storage areas form part of the property. Subject to the necessary permissions, some of these spaces could be adapted as a further bedroom suite, independent guest accommodation, a studio, workshop or rental unit. The house would benefit from updating and partial renovation.
Gaucín is approximately five minutes away by car. The Mediterranean coast can be reached in approximately 25 minutes, while Málaga and Gibraltar airports are within easy reach. Views extend across the Crestalina Mountains, the Genal Valley, the Mediterranean Sea, Gibraltar and, on clear days, the distant coastline of Morocco.
