Stunning finca, currently used as a property for retreats with unparalleled possibilities. Everything inside and around the properties is in optimal condition and ready to continue as a B&B or other tourist accommodation. 9 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms in total! The current owner has created a small paradise and left nothing to chance. From the driveway with an automatic gate, we enter the spacious parking area with white gravel that gives it a spacious feeling and can accommodate 10 cars.
The gardens are lushly landscaped and feature multiple flowerbeds, walled and adorned with the most beautiful Mediterranean plants, cacti, and trees. The first thing that catches your eye as you walk from the parking area to the first house is the fantastic view. From the entire front garden, the pool, and the outdoor kitchen, you have this breathtaking view of the Fahala Valley. It's remarkably quiet here, yet we are only a 5-minute drive to the highway towards Malaga. The airport and the beach can be reached within 25 minutes, and several villages such as Cartama, Coin, and Alhaurin el Grande are within a 10-minute drive with all their restaurants and supermarkets.
In front of the the main house, a conservatory has been built along the entire length, which feels like a living room/dining room, with cozy seating areas, a long dining table, and even a wood-burning stove. (In total, there are no less than 4 wood-burning stoves distributed throughout the various spaces.) The glass curtains all around can be opened or closed as desired, making it suitable for any season. This house has 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and a semi-professional kitchen. The rooms have a Mediterranean/Ibiza look, and the whole place exudes a serene atmosphere.
If the buyer wishes to operate it as a B&B, it is possible to convert one of the bedrooms back into a living room, as it originally was, and then use 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a kitchen for private use. The fourth bedroom in this section is also accessible from the outside and has an en-suite bathroom.
The second house, with 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, is located a few meters behind the first building. Currently, the back, again with a porch and wood-burning stove, is used as a caretaker's area, as well as the bedroom and bathroom at the back. If you go for the plan as described above, you can use 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms in this building. As mentioned, the property can be configured in various ways.
At the back of the buildings is the orchard with a garden house, which is also used as sleeping accommodation. The garden house has a toilet, and with a small boiler, there is also a connection for a shower. However, up to now, the delightful outdoor shower a few meters away under the orange trees with hot water from the house has been sufficient. Additionally, there is a Yurt. This Mongolian tent, heated with a wood-burning stove, is currently used as a Shala, a yoga room.
Between the second building and the pool (chlorine) is the professional outdoor kitchen, a large dining table for 12-14 people, and romantic seating areas. The current operators offer breakfast and other meals upon request, and this is almost always prepared outdoors.
Some other features of this special location: Despite being in the countryside, there is fiber-optic internet! The orchard has many orange trees that provide fresh oranges daily for 9 months! There is a very large antique and beautiful fig tree that parades between the 2 houses, mandarin trees, pomegranate trees, lemon trees, grapes, and loquat trees (nisperos). Additionally, there is an automatic irrigation system for the fruit trees and an 8,000-liter water storage tank. On the roof of the second house, there is also a solar water heater for the hot water in the four rooms in that building.
Starting a B&B near Malaga? Or perhaps a group accommodation with retreat possibilities? Everything is possible in this paradise-like property. Numbers available after a viewing.
Note: Not all buildings are registered. We can provide a report from an architect to give a good overview. Registration of these buildings is the responsibility of the seller!
Important to know that there is no city water. There is a water storage of 18,000 liters that is filled by trucks.
