Finca/Country House for sale in San Enrique de Guadiaro, San Roque, Cádiz

Located within the village of San Enrique, walking distance to bars, restaurants, and shops, and only 5 minutes’ drive from the famous marina of Sotogrande, this wonderful old Cortijo offers a wealth of potential for future development.

Situated in the centre of Polo Valley, this equestrian property would be ideal for a polo training centre, or an equestrian holiday base, or alternatively with the scope for further development within the grounds. It could make an ideal boutique hotel, training centre, or retreat, as the land is flat and very easy to use.

Built in 1940 and reformed in 1980, the property comprises the main house, a guest house, 2 staff houses, 20 wooden stables, 2 tack rooms, a feed store, and a number of paddocks, as well as two Andalusian patios with fruit trees, and a large entrance drive with covered parking for 7 cars.

The main house is of a rustic style, with large spacious rooms, vaulted beamed ceilings, and many windows, giving views of the large garden, paved terrace, and pool area. The property is approached via a covered walkway, through the patios and double wooden doors into the entrance hall, with stairs up to the first floor.

On the ground floor there is a large traditional kitchen with a laundry room, leading to a drying patio, a walk-in pantry, a bodega, and from here access to the impressive separate dining room, with fireplace and access to the two patios. Also on this level there is a very spacious lounge, with fireplace and several doors opening onto the covered terrace, with views of the gardens. There is also a library area with direct access to the terrace and pool area, and a smaller study room.

On the upper level there are 4 bedrooms: the master with dressing room, spacious en-suite bathroom, and access to the upper terrace with views over the surrounding countryside. Another bedroom has an en-suite bathroom, and a fireplace. The other 2 bedrooms share a large family bathroom. All rooms have vaulted beamed ceilings, central heating radiators, built-in wardrobes, and plenty of windows letting in much light.

There is also a separate 3-bedroom guest house that has an open-plan traditional style kitchen leading to the lounge and dining area with a large open fireplace, and access to the garden and patio areas. All 3 bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms.

The whole property extends across several paddocks and stable areas, but the main accommodation sits within a walled garden area, which, due to the size of the plot, could be further extended or developed.

Located within 15 minutes’ drive of Gibraltar airport, and only 60 minutes to Malaga, this is a rare opportunity to purchase an established property in a quiet countryside location, yet very close to the amenities of Sotogrande and the famous Santa Maria Polo Club. There is much potential to develop this equestrian property into a business in one of the fastest growing areas of the Costa del Sol.
