About this property

Spectacular Country Retreat

One-of-a-kind 3-bedroom villa, on an artists’ estate, perched high on one of the Coast’s most singular properties, a 5000 square meter plateau with totally unobstructed, 360-degree views of the entire Coast, Gibraltar, and on a clear day, the mountains of North Africa. The property is historic; once the site of a Moorish castle, with ruins still visible today. Nestled among olive and fig trees, the unique, rustic house boasts an immaculate 12 by 5 meter swimming pool. It's ample gardens and unique location, atop a plateau, create an experience of total privacy and pure peace. Casa Gordon features 3 bedrooms, two kitchens, multiple terraces; and a massive central living/dining room, with towering ceilings and huge windows which allow the light and views to come pouring in. The property is divided into two structures: the "main house" which contains two bedrooms, a living/dining room, kitchen and bathroom; and an adjoining "apartment" connected by an interior patio, that contains another bedroom, a bathroom and a kitchenette. (For additional guests please contact owner.) All is fully-furnished and decorated with the art-work of Charlotte and Harry Gordon, the American artists who designed and built the house, paying loving attention to its every detail. It has ample parking and is protected by an electronic gate and alarm system. Casa Gordon is located in the countryside, just 1 kilometer East of the town of Mijas. The entire Costa Del Sol is easily accessible and the location is ideally situated for a multitude of day-trips and getaways.

A perfect retreat
Me and my partner had a fantastic trip to spain and this property was the heart of it. A perfect couples retreat with plenty of privacy and great facilities. It was only a 20/25 minute walk to Mijas which was perfect. The pool was beautiful and the ideal counter to the heat of the day. We could not have asked for a more perfect holiday spot and we hope to return!

Fantastic stay
We had a fabulous 9 day stay at Finca San Anton. The property is quite unique with stunning views, a lovely pool and everything you need for a peaceful holiday and yet it is within walking distance of Mijas Pueblo’s bars & restaurants. Charlotte the owner was a lovely host, we will definitely be back.

Excellent Location.
Just had a fantastic relaxing break at Finca San Anton, Mijas Pueblo. The rustic apartment was everything we wanted, peaceful & relaxing. The setting is beautiful & the views are stunning. It is just a 15-20 minute stroll to the town centre which takes in some fantastic views of the mountain, coast & other villas. If its relaxation your after, then this is the ideal place. Charlotte, the property owner is charming & helpful. I fully recommended this property to anyone looking for a bit of peace & quite whilst not being to far from fine dining & drinks.

About the host

This plateau is steeped in history. It used to be a Moorish fortress almost 1000 years ago (you can still see some of the ruins on the other side of the pool). Our family purchased the property in the 1950’s when the only way over the Mijas road was by burro or Land Rover. We have always endeavored to preserve the natural beauty of this place and we hope to share it with you!
