Located just 5 minutes from a town with all essential amenities and 15 minutes from the thriving city of Antequera, it offers everyone the chance to enjoy a peaceful, natural setting, complete with all modern comfort.

The location

This remarkable estate sits in the heart of ancient Andalusia, in the comarca of Antequera just 45 minutes from the airport and the vibrant city of Málaga, and perfectly positioned between Córdoba, Seville and Granada.

A privileged location in one of Spain's finest wine-growing regions, offering not only ideal conditions for viticulture but also endless opportunities to enjoy a quiet life in nature, with easy access to active tourism.

An ideal base from which to explore the celebrated medieval Moorish architecture of Córdoba, Granada and Seville or to escape to unmissable natural landmarks such as the Fuente de Piedra Nature Reserve (10 min), El Torcal de Antequera (25 min), the beaches of Málaga (45 min) or the breathtaking Caminito del Rey (1h).

Just 800 metres (500 m paved) from one of the entrances to the village, the estate can be reached on foot, by bicycle or by car. And every time you arrive, you will feel it: life here moves at a different rhythm.

The estate: general features

The site was chosen with great intention to have panoramic views in all direction. To feel at one with nature without losing touch with the world. Surrounded by vineyards and olive groves, yet within easy reach of towns and services, this impressive estate offers the flexibility to be used as a permanent residence or developed into a tourism venture with enormous potential (it has a tourism license).

Construction took place in two stages, completed in 2013 and 2022 respectively. The result is a true architectural gem that honours and celebrates the vernacular style of the region.

Beyond its authentic Andalusian character, the owner has sourced and incorporated valuable historic materials from across Spain: roof tiles from an old house in Córdoba, bricks from a former church near Iznájar, and a striking heraldic emblem from Castile that presides over the tower façade.

Ecological design has also been central to every decision: thick exterior walls and air chambers were constructed to insulate against extreme temperatures.

The windows are double-glazed climalit units, filtering solar radiation. The property features underfloor heating and solar hot water. It has mains electricity.

In addition to the mains water supply, the estate has its own registered well at ± 105 m depth. Irrigation, furthermore, operates via a computerised system.

Comfort and liveability have been designed with sustainability and environmental care at their core.

The main house

The main house spans ± 550 m².

The main entrance opens into a generous ground-floor hall that welcomes and connects all living spaces. To the right, a fully equipped kitchen with informal dining room leads directly out to the courtyard.

To the left of the hall, a room currently used as a study could easily be converted into an additional bedroom. The hall also features a toilet and access to the formal dining room, which in turn connects to a grand living room with double-height ceilings and a fireplace— a space designed for countless hours of shared moments: reading, board games, or conversations that go on well into the night. The living room also opens directly onto the courtyard.

A staircase from the entrance hall leads to the upper floor, where 4 bedrooms await. The principal suite stands out, featuring an en-suite bathroom and a charming French balcony overlooking the beautiful living room below.

The remaining 3 bedrooms are all en suite, each enjoying beautiful views of the surroundings.

The outdoor spaces

All ground-floor rooms open onto a central courtyard, completed in 2022, where a circular pool with automatic chlorination takes centre stage. Surrounded by lawn and relaxation areas, it is the perfect setting to make the most of the more than 320 days of sunshine that Andalusia promises.

Whether from inside the house, the garden, or the upper-floor viewpoint, the views are spectacular: the surrounding vineyard, the olive groves of the neighbouring fields and the beautiful natural landscape of Antequera stretching into the distance.

The property sits on 4.1 hectares (10.1 acres) of land, with the house surrounded by an ecological plantation of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon vines.

The guest apartment

The estate includes a fully independent guest apartment of approximately 75 m², situated beside the pool. Should the main house be operated as a tourist accommodation or events venue weddings and private celebrations included, this apartment offers a comfortable private residence for the owners.

It features an open-plan kitchen, living and dining area, 1 bedroom and one bathroom. Should you choose to live in the main house, this annex works equally well as a guest apartment or tourism rental.

The vineyard and a potential winery

The vineyard is planted with 65% Cabernet Sauvignon (2.2 ha = 5.4 acres) and 35% Merlot (1.5 ha = 3.7 acres), and holds the 'Málaga Denominación de Origen' designation. The harvest is currently sold to a select group of Andalusian wineries.

While there is no dedicated winery on site, the potential to develop one exists: a currently unused space of ± 70 m² is available for this purpose.

The tower: a multipurpose space

The estate includes a space with outstanding potential. The 70 m² referenced above is fully serviced (all water and electrical installations are in place) and awaits only its final finish, to be defined according to its intended use.

Currently used as storage, it does not affect the aesthetic of the rest of the property in the slightest.

At minimal cost, up to 3 additional bedrooms could be added, creating another self-contained apartment for guests. It could equally be developed as a boutique winery, completing the full cycle of producing wine from the grapes grown on the estate itself.

Development potential

The property holds a Casa Rural licence for rural tourist accommodation. Right outside the cortijo, amidst the vineyards, there is an open space of ± 900 m² which can be used for hosting events such as weddings.

Properties that combine history, nature and return on investment are truly unique.

Private viewings available on request.

Important note: All constructions and the pool have been done with the official permits.
