Further details
Nearby village of Arriate provides banks, small supermarkets and other shopping facilities, restaurant and splendid tapas bars. Ronda, just 8km away, has both beauty and history. An inspiration to many, it is one of the most visited towns in Andalucía. The Spanish/Dutch owners, Francisco and Lies, live just 100 metres away, but privacy is guaranteed. Francisco is a native of Ronda and knows the countryside and the Serrania very well. Lies came from Holland in 1995, and three years later they had their son, Santiago. The family try to live as self-sufficiently as possible. Francisco is an organic farmer and they have an organic vegetable garden, while Lies sells their produce and homemade jams to hotels and on local markets. Directly from home there is a lot of good walking along unpaved roads or further off the beaten track. And for those who prefer the peace and quiet, there is a wide range of books to pick from the shelves. Or simply enjoy the silence and the (many) birds!

Owner profile

Francis Cobo was born and raised in Ronda. He knows the countryside extremely well and is a passionate nature lover and self-taught organic farmer.
Lies Wajer is a Dutch photographer who came to live in Andalucia in 1995. Santiago was born in 1998.
They try to live in the valley as self-sufficiently as possible, running a (certified) organic vegetable and fruit garden while offering their - for this purpose built - holiday home to nature lovers, families, bird spotters, hikers, peace seeking couples and anyone who looks for a relaxed place to spend their holidays.

Year purchased: 1999
Why the owner chose a home in this location
When they came to live in the valley in 1999, it was a bare plot of land only used for breeding goats. But they immediately recognized its potential and fell in love with the peaceful tranquillity that the valley breathes. While trying to make a living and raising their son, over the years and step by step, they have tried to develop the place to be a perfect holiday spot for everyone from all over the world who looks for comfortable holidays.
Unique benefits of the property
The valley breathes stillness and has a very peaceful feel to it. You will be 'off the world' but still withing walking distance to a lively and pleasant village (Arriate) and only 8kms from the historic town of Ronda. It also lies very central for daytrips to Sevilla, Granada, Cordoba or Malaga.
Summers know long warm days and cool nights. And in winter you will breathe the crisp clean air of the Ronda mountains.
And because you are surrounded by an organic vegetable garden, you will benefit from the availability of all homegrown produce and fresh eggs.
A big plus for families with small children is that you will find the swimming pool safely fenced. And in the house are all the conveniences, like toys, books, high chairs etc.
