Exceptional Andalusian Country Estate with Tourist Licence, Saltwater Pool & Outstanding Energy Efficiency & 1st Occupation Licence 

Situated in a peaceful residential countryside setting between the historic white village of Jimena de la Frontera and San Pablo de Buceite, this exceptional country home is a rare example of traditional Andalusian architecture beautifully combined with contemporary comfort and sustainable living.

Originally forming part of a much larger family finca, the property was the original farmhouse of the estate and was gifted to the current owner by her father. In 2005, she embarked upon a remarkable restoration and reconstruction project, creating the truly special home it is today. Her deep local knowledge and genuine love of Andalusian heritage are evident in every detail. The result is a respectful and highly tasteful transformation that remains faithful to the region's architectural traditions whilst seamlessly incorporating the comforts and efficiencies expected of modern living.

Completed in 2006, the house has been built in the style of a traditional Andalusian cortijo, featuring thick natural stone walls, exposed timber beams, polished clay floor tiles, original hydraulic tiles and handcrafted artistic finishes throughout. Every room has been individually designed, creating a home with warmth, character and authenticity. Immaculately maintained inside and out, the property is presented in exceptional condition, requiring no work before occupation.

Approached via a gated entrance, the finca immediately impresses with its landscaped gardens, mature palm trees and striking cactus gardens, creating a wonderful Mediterranean setting. The entire estate is fully fenced, offering privacy and security, whilst the gardens include fruit trees, vegetable growing areas, a substantial chicken house, a delightful children's play cottage and numerous tranquil seating areas.

At the heart of the grounds lies a saltwater swimming pool surrounded by generous sun terraces, all enjoying magnificent uninterrupted views across the orchard valley below, where scenes from Antonio Banderas' film Che: Part Two were filmed.

Inside, a wide entrance hallway introduces the generous proportions found throughout the home. High beamed ceilings, traditional timber doors and beautiful clay flooring create an immediate sense of quality and character. A magnificent natural stone archway opens into an impressive open-plan living area, where the sitting room, dining room and country kitchen combine to form the heart of the home.

Designed equally for family life and entertaining, the spacious kitchen features a five-ring gas cooker and opens through four triple-glazed French doors onto a vine-covered dining terrace complete with barbecue, traditional wood-fired pizza oven and outdoor sink—an idyllic setting for enjoying long summer evenings whilst taking in the spectacular valley views.

The accommodation comprises four exceptionally spacious double bedrooms, each benefiting from its own en-suite bathroom. Two bedrooms are located on the ground floor, each offering newly installed high-specification PVC double-glazed windows with electric shutters, wood-burning stoves and modern shower rooms. The two first-floor bedroom suites are particularly impressive, featuring Juliet balconies, elegant French doors with traditional green shutters and luxurious en-suite bathrooms with bathtubs.

Throughout the house, handcrafted ceramic tiles, polished clay flooring and individually designed artistic finishes reinforce the authentic Andalusian character, whilst air conditioning throughout ensures year-round comfort.

Beyond the main residence are three traditional stone outbuildings, currently used for storage and housing the property's technical installations. These buildings offer excellent potential for conversion into independent guest suites or boutique bed and breakfast accommodation, subject to the necessary permissions.

The property has also been designed with sustainability in mind. A 9 kW photovoltaic solar installation, aerothermal hot water system, water softening system and additional free water supply for the pool and irrigation result in remarkably economical running costs, with electricity bills averaging approximately €50 per month during full summer occupancy.
