This impressive Andalucian farmhouse, located in an elevated position, amongst olive and almond groves, has the most stunning views. Overlooking the valley, across white-washed villages, the scenery stretches across to the Tejeda mountain range. The farmhouse has been a family home for many years and in the process, has been lovingly restored yet has retained many of the original features. The rooms all have the traditional beamed ceilings, many with terracotta floor tiles, open fire places/wood burning stoves, decorative wrought iron lights and beautiful wooden doors. 'Modern' and 'comfort' have been carefully introduced. The outside of the property has extensive patios/seating area around the pool, gardens abundant with trees and flowers, BBQ, outside kitchen and covered dining area for eating alfresco. Colmenar has good bars, restaurants, local market, banks etc. Historic Granada and Malaga, cosmopolitan Marbella and Nerja, beaches and shopping centres are all an easy drive.

Accommodation

 

Notes on accommodation
All bedrooms have air-conditioning/heating. Lounge areas have open fires or log burners. Fans are provided also during the summer months. Due to the property's age and history, there are small steps connecting some rooms and one or two lower door frames. As the pool and patio area cover such a large area, it is difficult to section it off, therefore there is access to the pool directly from the patios/gardens and three different exits/doors from the house. Please note that there may be unfamiliar plants eg cacti/aloe vera/roses in the gardens with thorns. The property is situated in its own grounds so you can walk on the land through the almond and olive groves and also the fruit trees further below.
Below the main house but entirely seperate, we have an individual villa with its own private access, pool, and gardens. It shares the private drive and car park with the property. Although separate, can be rented in addition to main property adding 6 persons, please ask.
