Minutes from a tarmac country lane on a track down through many olives, this cortijo has been lovingly restored over the past four years and presentation is traditional with timbered ceilings, original wooden windows and doors, antique wall cupboards and many alcoves. One immediately feels 'at home' on entering the main house where there are wood-burning stoves on two levels and care has been taken with decoration and furnishings to keep a truly rustic appeal.
The use of the land has been well-thought-out and advantage taken of split-level zones. The current owners are animal lovers and the area close to the house has been fenced-in with entrance through tall gates - to keep the family dogs from straying.
