Totally Peaceful Location in the Hills Behind Malaga
Sleeps 4 (2 Bedrooms)

A single storey centrally heated luxurious cottage, beautifully furnished to a very high standard, having been totally rebuilt in 2003 on the site of an old farm. Set on a south facing slope amid almond and olive groves with breathtaking panoramic views over the valley to the mountains of Malaga and Ronda to the southwest. Totally peaceful, apart from the occasional tinkle of goat bells when the goatherd takes his flock on their evening walk. Approx 1 hour’s drive north from Malaga airport. Granada is 1 1/2 hours away and Ronda is about the same distance. It is ideal for walkers, bird watchers, and painters or just relaxing by the pool. The nearest golf course is at Antequera approx 35 mins drive away. Shops are approx 10 minutes drive.

Owner profile
About the owner
Tony and I found the site for Casa Rosa in 2000. It was a ramshackle cottage on a south facing slope with fantastic views and we fell in love with the position immediately. Tony was just about to retire from being a partner in his firm so we decided this would be a good retirement project and somewhere we could escape to for a week or so throughout the year. We knocked the cottage down and have spent the last eight years making it into our second home. Making the garden has been a huge pleasure and we are lucky enough to have two wonderful girls who keep the weeds at bay when we aren't there. The comments in our visitor's book show that our tenants seem to fall in love with Casa Rosa just as much as we have done. In 2009 we had a couple returning for the 6th time!
Year purchased: 2000
Why the owner chose a home in this location
We love the peace and quiet - Casa Rosa is completely on its own and at night you can stand on the terrace and look over the valley towards the mountains and there are no lights - just the stars. Last year we counted fifteen eagles floating overhead from the Torcal. This is real rural Spain. A local farmer looks after our olives and brings us fresh fruit and vegetables when we are there. And then there are the goats with their tinkling bells which are taken for their evening walk by the goatherd. As far as we are concerned it's heaven - totally peaceful and a magical place for us both. There are wonderful walks from the cottage and in May the wild flowers are quite beautiful. It's so easy to reach - just an hour's drive from Malaga - and the local shops just 15 minutes away.
Unique benefits of the property
Casa Rosa is very well equipped and is centrally heated in winter. Unlike most old Spanish houses it is very light and the huge covered terrace is like another room.
