A tastefully reformed semi-detached cortijo. The owners, John and Linda live in one half and the other is offered for rental. The original dwellings are very old, around 250-350 years and have been tastefully restored to reflect the traditional style and rustic charm. Nestled on the edge of the Sierras, Almijara and Tejeda National Parks, with views of the mountains and down to the coast, it is an ideal location for either relaxation or exploration. Not too far to the coast for shopping and the beach. The 6.5x3.5m pool is located close to the house and is surrounded by tiled terraces on 3 sides. There it is possible to relax in the sun or in the shade of the rustic pergola by day, witness stunning sunsets followed by fantastic starlit evenings. The house is furnished in a rustic style, with most modern conveniences.
