It has been decorated with taste and focus on comfort, while the outside space in front and at the side of the house is remarkable. Really a beautiful and well built villa with breath-taking views of the Sierra Nevada.

The property is situated at the edge of the village of Colmenar, along a quiet track. All amenities are close by, and Colmenar is a lively village with may bars and restaurants. The drive to the motorway will take 8 minutes, and from there to the centre of Malaga another 15 minutes.

This is a unique estate in the hills above the city of Malaga, overlooking the natural park and the Malaga bay area. It comprises a fully modernised cortijo dating from 1854, surrounded by shaded terraces, a large pool and pool cottage, all set in the middle of 14 totally private hectares of olive, almond and carob groves.

Should you need more privacy than the listed 140,000 square metres of land can offer, there is always the option to buy an adjacent plot of land from the same owner, measuring another 230,000 square metres. This brings the total amount of land available to 37 hectares or 91 acres. This option will add 350,000 euros to the selling price.

A cortijo that needs work before you can move into it, but it will be well worth the effort. And the asking price leaves room for a renovation budget. The house comprises of two parts, and is half stone-built and half cave dwelling. The stone-built part is in reasonably good condition, while the cave needs to be restored urgently. Or you could decide to just renovate the stone part of the house and leave the cave for what it is.

There is irrigation water passing the property, and mains water and electricity are closeby. The property is very private and yet the village of Galera is not far away.
