Finca/Country House for sale in Gaucín, Málaga

Exceptional and rare property just 27 km from the beaches of the Costa del Sol. An ideal estate for equestrians, featuring a stable block, a spacious farmhouse, a cosy guest casita, and an additional building suitable for conversion into further accommodation.
A true hidden gem—perhaps a diamond in the rough—these lovely old Cortijo’s in Gaucín seldom come onto the market. Passed down through four generations, it is now ready for a new owner to embrace its full potential, as the current owner finds it too expansive to manage alone.
Set amidst 12 hectares of lush countryside, the finca spans an extensive area between Gaucín and Casares. It benefits from its own water supply via a well and deposits, with mains electricity connected. Also internet connected. For those seeking a self-sufficient lifestyle, the property is perfect for installing photovoltaic panels to achieve off-grid power.
Accessible yet private, the estate is approached via approximately 1.5 kilometers of generally well-maintained gravel and concrete road, ensuring peace and privacy in an idyllic setting.
The land offers ample space for paddocks, training rings, and further legal development. The existing farmhouse, originally restored around 20 years ago with holiday rental potential in mind, can be expanded up to 500m²—a blank canvas to create a truly spectacular country residence.
The farmhouse and stables are discreetly hidden among olive, almond, and carob trees with breathtaking views, the property exudes tranquility and natural beauty.
