Casa Luna: a village house in El Pinar

Let's skip the part where we ask you to imagine your dream home. Here is what Casa Luna actually is.

A village house from 1952 in El Pinar, in the Lecrín Valley, with 326 m² built according to the Catastro. That is a lot of house for a village: five bedrooms (in all honesty, four plus one walk-through room), three bathrooms and enough space for everyone to find a corner of their own for the afternoon.

The style is a mix that works: rustic on one side, modern Nordic on the other. The ceilings keep their original timber beams, and there are arches, exposed brick and the odd vaulted ceiling, combined with clean lines, light tones and white walls that make the most of the light. The house has been looked after and decorated with care, without erasing what makes an old Andalusian house worth having.

Outside is where it gets unusual for a village property. There is a courtyard garden with a small pool – not one for swimming lengths, but perfect for cooling off in August. There is a covered terrace under a pergola with climbing plants, where the dining table spends most of the year. And then there is the roof terrace, with formidable views over the village rooftops and the mountains around it.

A practical detail that matters in a village: a few steps from the house there is a large car park with a padel court, connected to the Town Hall. Parking is usually the hard part in these streets; here it isn't.

The location is easy to explain: 30 minutes to Granada, 30 minutes to the beach. A morning in the city, an afternoon by the sea, and back to a quiet village for the evening. The Béznar reservoir, walking routes and the Sierra Nevada are all close by.

Who is it for? A big family. People who want a house with history without living in the middle of nowhere. Or someone thinking about a guest house or holiday rental – the space is there, subject to the relevant licences.
