SA1414 - Cortijo for sale in Ronda, Málaga, Spain

Description

CORTIJO IN RONDA
This is what you dream of and visualise as being Spain. A truly Stunning Spanish Cortijo that has been thoughtfully and sympathetically refurbished to an excellent standard by the present owners.This period and fully detached Cortijo Cuevas del Marques, believed to date at least three hundred years, is situated in a beautiful and unspoilt valley called Ronda la Vieja, nestling beneath the Roman amphitheatre with fantastic views. The area is very quiet & extremely popular for those with horses with around 4 hectares of pastureland and a couple of stables.

The property is traditional, authentic and is in perfect condition throughout. Subject to an extensive restoration in latter years, the accommodation is comfortable and generously proportioned, with period features adding to its undoubtedly stylish ambience. All mod-cons have been incorporated, but not at the expense of the property´s historical integrity.

At the end of the tree-lined avenue, the main buildings open out into a stunning cobbled central walled courtyard. The main house boasts a traditional Entrance Hall, a large Drawing Room with an adjacent Study, a separate Dining Room, a fully integrated Kitchen / Breakfast Room, Cloakroom, Family Bathroom, a Master Suite with Bedroom and Shower Room, and 3 additional Bedrooms. The separate guest cottage offers spacious accommodation (this is possibly the oldest part of the property) with it´s own Entrance Hall, a large Sitting Room and Dining Area, a Double Bedroom, and a Bathroom featuring an antique roll-top bath with clawed feet.

Externally, as well as the central courtyard, there are natural stone terraces at the side and rear of the property, with period covered pergolas providing the perfect setting for al-fresco dining and entertaining. There is a recently constructed and fully tiled swimming pool (c.9x5m) with a stone surround, and gravelled terraces making the most of the stunning views beyond. There is an ´orchard´ area with both ancient and young olive trees in stone ´planters´ which leads on to the Stables and the Utility Cottage. The STABLES offer enough space for 2 loose boxes and a tack room ... this building has been entirely renovated, and has been left open-plan for the time being, allowing greater flexibility in its final use (it would make a great self-contained cottage, or an office or gym, etc). The purchaser may be able to acquire an additional 3 hectares (30,000m2) of adjoining land, at a reasonable cost, if required.
OFFERED AT A VERY SENSIBLE PRICE. HIGHLY RECCOMENDED TO VIEW WE LOVE IT.
