4223 Country House with Two Guest Cottages

This exceptional property presents an opportunity to own a small country estate spanning 7,5 hectares of partially irrigated land. The estate comprises two distinct plots, each spanning just under 4 hectares, on which a main house and two guest houses are located, along with a private swimming lake and a pine walkway. 

A driveway lined with trees, accessed via an electric gate, gives access to the fenced plot where the main house and two guest cottages are found. The second plot of land remains undeveloped, currently planted with almond trees.

The main house, of approximately 200 m2, is characterised by its simple yet elegant design and features open-plan spaces, lofty ceilings, and ample windows. The accommodation offered is a large central open plan area which leads through to a 30 m2 living room/dining room, with patio doors out to a terrace overlooking lemon groves and the scenic Andalucian countryside and mountains in the distance. Adjoining the dining area is a fully-equipped kitchen with a walk-in pantry. The house has two spacious bedrooms: a master bedroom complete with an ensuite bathroom and a dressing room with fitted wardrobes, and a second bedroom with separate shower room.

Comfort is ensured with underfloor heating throughout the house, supplemented by air conditioning/heating in the main living area and master bedroom, as well as a cosy wood burning stove in the living room. The property also features double-glazed windows.

To the front of the house is a lovely 30 m2 covered terrace, ideal for al fresco dining while enjoying the views of the mature gardens, lovingly created and maintained by the current owner. Additionally, a solarium provides a cosy retreat during the winter months. Other outdoor features are the carport, a 21 m2 outside storeroom where the boiler is housed, and an upper terrace of 21 m2.

Accompanying the main house are two guest cottages:

Guest House 1 (30 m2 in size), located approximately 25m from the main house, is a studio with an open plan living and sleeping area, a kitchen area and a bathroom with shower, with a covered porch at the entrance.

Guest House 2 (56 m2 in size), situated in a secluded spot approximately 70m away from the main house and with independent car access, enjoys an open plan living, dining and kitchen area with lovely high ceilings, a separate bedroom, a bathroom with shower, and a mezzanine level which can be used as a guest bedroom, office space or entertainment area. There is a pleasant terrace to the front of this house which hosts very pretty open views.

One of the property's standout features is the private lake or swimming pond created by the owner. Providing both practical and leisure benefits, the lake serves as a water source for irrigating the garden and fruit trees while offering opportunities for wild swimming. During summer, the lake receives fresh water from the irrigation channel traversing the Guadalhorce valley. 

The extensive mature gardens showcase a diverse array of plants, shrubs, and trees, with numerous secluded areas and vantage points, including a picturesque pine walkway.

Mains electricity is connected, supplemented by a solar power system, while water is sourced from the state irrigation system and private well. High-speed internet connectivity is available, completing the modern amenities of this Andalucian dream property.

The property is situated under 3 km from local amenities like shops, bars and restaurants, and pharmacies, and it is a mere 10-minute drive from the Andalucian pueblo of Pizarra where primary and high schools are found as well as an excellent train connection to Malaga city, Malaga international airport, and the Costa del Sol.
