Finca/Country House for sale in Montefrío, Granada

A simply gorgeous country home in a quiet country location on the hills around a lush river valley where ancient water mills still exist. The cortijo is only a short drive from Montefrío, a town well worth visiting, with historic monuments and plenty of life and activities.

The driveway leads up from the track to a parking area for several cars, where one immediately appreciates the ample country views. Walking from the car parking area, we pass a store shed where the well is located, supplying water to the property.

Upon approaching the house, to the left is a walled pool patio with an above-ground splash pool to keep cool in the heat of summer, as well as outdoor seating and sofas. The delightful brickwork terrace leads to the front of the house, which is shaded by a rustic cane pergola cover, creating a beautiful outdoor area to enjoy under the dappled shade of the cane, a true outdoor living room. Beyond the front area of the house is a further patio area decorated with stone detail and built-in seating, shaded with a sail, plus a small storage shed. And at the far end is a barbecue and chill-out terrace, perfect for outdoor eating and entertaining.

The front door of the house leads into an open-plan living and dining room area, with plenty of rustic features, such as rustic floor tiles, beams and cane ceilings, creative rustic lighting and traditional wooden windows with Andalusian wooden shutters. There is also an exposed stone wall and a pellet burner stove for cosy winter evenings.

To the far left, passing by the open-plan staircase, is a downstairs bathroom with a large walk-in shower, and beyond, the fully fitted kitchen, perfect for those who love cooking, with an opening through the thick walls to a handy utility room. The kitchen is rustic style too, but with modern, colourful units that complement perfectly this delightful house, so full of love and creativity.

Taking the stairs, on the landing, to the left is a simply divine bedroom, with gabled sloping ceilings and beams, overwhelming the visitor with a sense of home, comfort and serenity. The landing takes us to the second bathroom, again with a large walk-in shower area and modern tiles that work perfectly with the rustic surroundings. The bathroom has an electric towel rail for warming the room in the winter. Next is bedroom 2, currently used as a dressing room and sewing room with built-in wardrobes, but it could also work well as an office. And at the far end is bedroom 3, another exquisite room and similar in style to bedroom 1. The views from all rooms are stunning, and there is a feeling of calm throughout the house.

Adjoining the house is a useful laundry room and store room, which has the potential to be used as an extra bedroom, office or art studio.

This delightful property offers peace, tranquility, serenity, and the chance to have an exquisite base in this beautiful part of inland Andalusia.
