Elegant Andalusian Cortijo with Equestrian Facilities
A substantial country residence arranged around a traditional courtyard, with five en-suite bedrooms, extensive reception rooms, landscaped gardens, swimming pool, stabling and a riding arena, just 15 minutes from Seville.
Situated near Bollullos de la Mitación, some 15 minutes west of Seville, this substantial Andalusian cortijo stands in approximately 9,000 m² of enclosed grounds, with a total constructed area of 1,033 m². The property combines the architecture of a traditional Andalusian country house with spacious accommodation, landscaped gardens and equestrian facilities. Arranged around a central courtyard, the principal residence has five en-suite bedrooms, several reception rooms, a large country kitchen and additional rooms, including a library, office and games room. Outside are established gardens, a swimming pool, a traditional Andalusian thatched pavilion, stabling for eight horses, paddocks, a riding arena, caretaker's accommodation and garaging for four vehicles. With the nearby town of Bollullos de la Mitación only minutes away and Sevilla only fifteen minutes drive, the property is extremely well positioned for all services and transport connections.
The House
The cortijo is arranged around an attractive central courtyard, planted with ornamental vegetation and incorporating architectural details reminiscent of the patios of Seville's historic town houses. Two of the five bedrooms open directly from the courtyard, separate from the main circulation areas of the house. Each has fitted wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom, providing a degree of independence from the principal accommodation.
A large wooden doorway leads from the courtyard into the entrance hall, which connects with the main reception rooms. The principal sitting and dining room is a spacious room with a fireplace and three large windows. A glazed doorway leads through to a second reception room, described as the summer sitting room, where four substantial glazed arches overlook the gardens. One of these opens onto a covered porch. The porch also provides an alternative entrance to the house through a distinctive glazed door with metal framing, incorporating clear and blue-tinted glass panels.
From this entrance, a reception area leads into the library, a long room with fitted shelving along one wall. This connects with the main hall and kitchen, while a window overlooking the central courtyard provides natural light.
The kitchen is one of the principal features of the house. A large room with high ceilings, exposed beams and terracotta floor tiles with contrasting white insets, it retains the character of a traditional Andalusian farmhouse kitchen. A substantial built-in extractor hood, finished in white plaster with a dark timber beam, extends across the principal cooking area. Beneath it, hand-painted ceramic tiles with floral designs in yellow, blue and green provide a decorative splashback. The kitchen also has a central island, a large timber dresser and an informal dining area. Adjoining rooms include a pantry, laundry room and guest cloakroom.
Beyond the kitchen is a games room, used for billiards and table tennis, with access to the cortijo's tower. The room has sufficient space to accommodate a different internal arrangement, subject to any necessary building works. A spacious office, with a window overlooking the grounds, is situated off the main entrance hall.
The house has five bedrooms, each with fitted wardrobes and its own bathroom. The bathrooms have individual designs, incorporating hand-painted ceramic tiles and traditional decorative finishes. Throughout the residence, timber doors, decorative ironwork, fireplaces and ceramic details contribute to the character of the building, while the arrangement of rooms around the courtyard reflects the traditional architecture of southern Spain.
Additional Accommodation and Buildings
Adjoining the equestrian buildings is a caretaker's house, comprising a sitting room, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. Beside the caretaker's house is a substantial garage with space for four vehicles. Other structures within the grounds include kennels, a traditional Andalusian thatched pavilion with barbecue facilities and a well with a decorative surround.
Equestrian Facilities
The property has an established collection of equestrian facilities occupying a separate area of the grounds. These comprise: Eight spacious horse boxes in a purpose-built stable block; four individual paddocks or turnout enclosures; a large outdoor riding and schooling arena; adjacent caretaker's accommodation; vehicle access to the stable area. The riding arena is situated opposite the principal entrance to the cortijo, with the stables and paddocks arranged along the estate. The equestrian area is separated from the swimming pool and gardens by the kennels and water treatment installation.
Outside
The cortijo is surrounded by landscaped gardens containing mature olive trees, mulberries, cypresses, acacias and ornamental bamboo. The planting provides shade and a sense of enclosure, with established trees forming the setting for the house and its outdoor living areas. The swimming pool occupies a garden area bordered by trees and shrubs. Nearby are the traditional thatched pavilion, barbecue area and an ornamental well. Covered porches provide additional outdoor seating, while the glazed arches of the summer sitting room establish a connection between the interior of the house and the gardens. The grounds extend to approximately 9,000 m², accommodating the residential gardens, swimming pool, equestrian installations and ancillary buildings.
