Owner profile

About the owner
In 2001 we quit the London rat race and our careers in travel and music, sold up and ran away to Spain for a change of pace and some adventure.
We bought what was a rundown 19th Century traditional Spanish farmhouse or cortijo and spent the next two years painstakingly pouring our hopes and dreams into making the perfect modern traditional Spanish farmhouse.
We gradually transformed it into an Andalucian dream home with 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms (including a stunning large round hydrotherapy bath), a large modern kitchen, a huge living room and an enormous dining room. There is also a 2 en suite bedroom annexe by the pool.
With wifi, air con and beautiful private gardens, it has everything we ever wanted.
We are back in England now for family reasons but still love visiting when
Year purchased: 2001
Why the owner chose a home in this location
When we moved to Spain, we considered living on the coast but really wanted a taste of the real Spain.
After a lot of research, both online and in person, we chose to live in Antequera. It is a beautiful medieval city of about 60,000 people and offers a great mixture of traditional and modern Spanish culture in a very friendly and peaceful area.
It also has all the requirements of the modern world such as broadband, great shops (including English food shops) and restaurants.
The clincher is that it is literally at the crossroads of Andalucia. The great cities of Granada, Seville and Cordoba plus all the hectic beach resorts are all only 30 to 60 minutes drive away and there are three airports you can fly into - Malaga, Granada and Seville.
Unique benefits of the property
Our villa is in a fantastic location.
It is literally surrounded by grapevines, almond trees and olive groves but the fantastic new motorways to the coast (35 minutes), Granada (45 min), Cordoba (50 minutes) and Seville (60 min) are just 2km away, hidden behind a hill. You can enjoy a taste of the real Spain and visit any of the great tourist attractions so easily, without having to suffer all the noise and chaos that comes with them. On the other hand, With a great kidney shaped pool and an acre of completely private landscaped gardens, many people almost never leave the property. The gardens include a vine covered illuminated pergola, lots of different fruit trees, a tree sunclock that always offers a shady refuge and a handbuilt hill to overlook the surrounding vine.
