amidst the captivating landscapes of Andalusia, Southern Spain, this charming country villa draws inspiration from traditional Andalusian architecture. Situated near the picturesque village of Gaucin, this exceptional property offers a unique blend of tranquility and modern comfort.
Boasting a total of 5 en-suite bedrooms, along with 2 additional loft bedrooms suitable for use as offices or entertainment spaces, this villa provides ample room for both family living and entertaining guests. Set on a sprawling 13-hectare plot, the property even offers the opportunity to acquire an additional 3 hectares of land, complete with a 2-bedroom staff or guest house and a barn.
The villa exudes timeless elegance, featuring arched doorways, intricate tiling, and antique woodwork. The spacious double-height living room creates an open and inviting ambiance, with the rest of the villa conveniently arranged on a single level, except for the two loft rooms.
The villa’s location is nothing short of spectacular, perched on a private plateau with south-facing orientation. From here, you’ll enjoy breathtaking views of distant mountains, rolling hills adorned with cork oaks, holm oaks, and wild olive trees. The melodious songs of birds and the gentle chiming of goat bells create a serene soundtrack to accompany this idyllic panorama.
Access to the property is via a short dirt road that leads to a private electric gate, shared with just four other properties. As you ascend to the mountaintop, you’ll be greeted by an imposing antique wooden door that ushers you into a grand entry hall. To the left and right, you’ll find two en-suite guest bedrooms. Straight ahead, the magnificent living room beckons, cleverly divided into distinct areas by elegant pillars—an inviting lounge area with a generous fireplace, a dining area adjacent to the well-appointed kitchen, and a cozy music or study nook. French doors open seamlessly to the terrace, providing unobstructed views of the surrounding landscape and mountains. When all the doors are open, the distinction between indoor and outdoor living fades, allowing you to fully savor the Andalusian outdoor lifestyle.
Every room in the villa offers captivating vistas, while the bathrooms mirror the Andalusian aesthetic with their intricate tilework, graceful archways, and use of authentic materials.
