The estate comprises two completely independent villas, ideal as a family home, country retreat, home-and-income opportunity or shared purchase for two families. Surrounded by beautiful Andalusian countryside, it offers landscaped gardens, a magnificent saltwater pool, panoramic views and complete privacy with no close neighbours.

MAIN VILLA

The main villa opens into an impressive dining room with an independent fully fitted kitchen, including two ovens, microwave, hob, extractor and large double refrigerator. A rear door provides direct access to the private parking area, while the ground floor also has a cloakroom with WC.

The dining room connects to an elegant lounge with log burner and patio doors opening onto the pool area. A covered terrace wraps around the villa, providing excellent spaces for outdoor dining while enjoying breathtaking 180-degree mountain and countryside views.

Upstairs are three bedrooms. The spacious master has air conditioning, ceiling fans, fitted wardrobes and an en-suite with walk-in shower.
