The kitchen is fully fitted with modern, good-quality units and appliances and also has a dining area for entertaining. A staircase from the lounge/diner then leads up to the first floor, where there is a fabulous family lounge with a wood burner, air conditioning (previously used as a bedroom), a separate office area and patio doors leading out to a stunning raised terrace with views right across the rolling countryside and the pool. Another great area for entertaining or dining al fresco. There is a staircase here also leading to the lower patio and pool areas.

A second internal staircase from the lounge leads up to a private suite consisting of a very large bathroom with a corner bath with overhead shower, WC and sink, and access to another side-facing raised terrace. Then into a large and light double bedroom with air conditioning and access again to the large raised terrace and stunning views.

A few steps down from the entrance hall leads to a hallway and, to the left, is a very large double bedroom with a ceiling fan and access to a patio area and the pool. There is also access from this hallway out to the patio and pool area. To the right of the hallway there is then a lounge with a kitchen, dining area and an air conditioning unit. Along from here there is then another large bathroom with a walk-in shower, vanity unit with sink, WC and washing machine.

Outside this area, with access from the hallway or large bedroom, there is a covered terrace area with a dining area and areas to relax in, as well as a ceiling fan. There is also access via an external staircase up to the first floor of the main house. A pathway then leads down to a very large sun terrace, ideal for relaxing and enjoying the sun, and in the left-hand corner is a purpose-built bar area. The pool is an excellent size at 8 m by 5 m and is almost infinity-style, with amazing views out to the open countryside.

The lower accommodation area is self-contained and has a door separating it from the main house. It also has its own individual access from outside, making it ideal for guests to stay.

Also in this area, next to the covered terrace area, is a fully equipped outdoor kitchen which is also covered, allowing for respite from the long summer days and the opportunity to enjoy al fresco dining. This area also benefits from having a bathroom with a large shower, WC and sink. Steps to the side of here lead to the left of the property and more spaces with mature planting. There is a wooden shed and a chicken coop here too, ideal for anyone wanting to add animals to their home. It then sweeps round to the entrance courtyard and the house.

There is a large fenced area enclosing the house and garden, separating the living space from the olive groves with double access gates, making it a secure place for pets.

The cortijo has over 120 olive trees, which are currently managed by an outside source but provide olive oil after each harvest.

This is a lovely property needing no work, ideal for someone who wishes to have a country house without feeling isolated. The cortijo also benefits from having mains water and electricity.
