State of the art Cortijo in an unparalleled setting with guest house for sale near Ronda, Málaga, Andalucia, Southern Spain. Designed from the remains of an old farmhouse, it oozes the tranquillity of a sanctuary. An architectural wonder combining comfort and authenticity, old building materials and modern architectural elements like Cor-Ten steel, design features like a monastery hallway and formal gardens next to an ancient old oak forest on the rolling hills. Contemplation, absolute silence and only natural sounds to wind down easily. This estate comprises a four-bedroom Cortijo (approx 792m2) and a one-bedroom guest studio (approx 61m2).
A majestic automatic gate opens up to an open ‘dehesa’-landscape and garden with protecting cypresses: leads the way to the main Cortijo.
This stunning main Cortijo is built around the traditional courtyard, all on one level. Access to the courtyard through large, antique wooden doors. The courtyard is beautifully decorated, a formal garden concept, respecting the ancient olive trees. Wisteria provides shade in the summer. It is an outdoor space of serenity and contemplation. The three wings of the cortijo all have direct access to this courtyard. Inside and outside blend together.
A large entrance hall welcomes you through to all areas of this beautiful country home. Straight off the hall, the warm and welcoming, large, open living area. The high ceilings, the natural light flowing in and the old stone walls are some of the few elements making this living unique. The architect used the traditional and Cor-Ten-style elements in the cortijo. Painted with traditional cal-paint, coloured and mixed with the local red earth of the land and ochre pigments. Next to the living, on the left, is the ample fully fitted kitchen with an island and opposite the formal dining room with a stunning cupula.
