Located in the hills approximately 10 minutes from the town of MONTEFRIO which has all main services such banks, shops, bars, restaurants, bus service, health centre, hospital, schools and, of course, the famous artistic and historic tourist attractions which include the Arab Fortress standing above the town on a rock and a number of monumental churches.
Charming and very attractive, traditional rustic CORTIJO of approximately 138m2, which has been recently restored and rests on a plot of approximately 10500m2 on which are a number of olives and Mediterranean oak trees. The property has its own water supply (a recent addition has been a new borehole with an abundance of water), own drainage, mains electricity, new electrical installation and within an enclosed leisure area of approx 45m2 off the front PATIO, is a SWIMMING POOL with cover approx 5.56m x 3.23m internal measurement.
Approached along a track past two neighbouring properties, the cortijo has its own private driveway which ceases approximately 15 metres past the house (no through road) and where there is lots of space for parking a number of vehicles. Nestling on the hill in a lovely quiet valley, the cortijo enjoys privacy and long-ranging views of the hills laid out with olive groves.
Accommodation comprises:
Entrance from the patio into dining room approx 5.17m x 3.43m with stone fireplace with wood-burning stove and on through a stone arch into a lovely kitchen approx 3.99m x 2.34m with newly-installed cupboards with polished marble work surfaces, double sink,ceramic hob and oven. From the dining room a passageway leads to bathroom approx 3.10m x 2.36m with bath/shower, sink, toilet and bidet and on to the very pretty lounge approx 4m x 3.40m with wood-burning stove and views onto the front patio.
On the upper floor are bedroom 1 approx 4.10m x 3.6m, bedroom 2 approx 3.17m x 2.34m and bedroom 3 approx 3.8m x 3.8m – all with lovely timbered ceilings and views across the hills.
This is a lovely example of what can be achieved when transforming a traditional cortijo, whilst retaining those sought-after rustic features. Its privileged quiet location is absolutely ideal for those wishing to enjoy the ‘good life’ and within reasonable driving distance of all main services and facilities. There is lots of scope at the rear of the property to have landscaped levels for kitchen garden and other leisure areas and also on the lower levels closer to the stream, where there is a natural spring.
From the property it would be approximately 1hr45mins to Malaga airport, 40 minutes to Granada and approximately 1hr50mins to the coast at Torre del Mar. Other day-trip attractions are the Subettica National Park, Alcala la Real, the forests around Jaen and famous villages of Cazorla, Ubeda and Baeza and the Sierra Nevadas.
