h1>Magical Country Retreat with Spectacular Mountain & Sea Views Near Gaucín

2 Bedrooms, 2 Bathrooms  Swimming Pool | 35,000m² of Land | Outbuildings | Potential to extend. 

Just five minutes from the beautiful white village of Gaucín, accessed via an easy country lane only moments from the A-369 coast road, this enchanting country property occupies a truly privileged position in one of the most sought-after locations in inland Andalucía.

Surrounded by approximately 35,000m² of rolling countryside, the property enjoys breathtaking panoramic views across the Crestalina Mountains, the Genal Valley, the Mediterranean Sea, Gibraltar and, on clear days, the distant coastline of Morocco. Mature landscaped gardens filled with cypress trees, flowering oleanders, blue mimosas and dramatic agave plants create an atmosphere of complete tranquillity and privacy.

A gated driveway leads through the gardens to the house, where a traditional studded oak entrance door with Moroccan ironwork opens into an impressive entrance hall. Designed and built in the 1980s to a bespoke architectural concept, the house combines rustic Andalusian charm with generous, light-filled spaces.

The heart of the home is a magnificent double-height reception hall with chestnut-beamed vaulted ceilings, handcrafted stone features and charming alcoves reminiscent of an old Andalusian mill. A spectacular arched picture window frames the mountain views, creating a stunning focal point that immediately captures the beauty of the surrounding landscape.

Accommodation

The house is thoughtfully arranged over several levels:

Entrance Level

The impressive reception hall serves as the central hub of the house. To one side, a staircase rises to the first-floor principal bedroom suite, while a few steps descend to the second bedroom suite below.

To the right of the entrance hall is a spacious open-plan living area. This warm and inviting room features exposed beams, traditional terracotta floor tiles, a wrought-iron wood-burning stove set within a traditional fireplace, and large French doors opening directly onto the surrounding terraces. The sitting room flows naturally into the dining area and country-style kitchen, creating an ideal space for family living and entertaining.

Beyond the kitchen are a large walk-in pantry, utility room, storage room, and a secondary entrance. A staircase leads down to a substantial garage/store room which offers excellent potential to create a third bedroom suite, guest accommodation or independent annexe, subject to any necessary permissions.

Upper Floor

The staircase from the entrance hall leads to a generous bedroom suite featuring a walk-in dressing room and a spacious en-suite bathroom finished with traditional handmade Andalusian tiles. The elevated position provides wonderful views across the surrounding countryside.

Lower Floor

A few steps down from the reception hall lead to the second bedroom suite, also generously proportioned and complete with its own dressing room and en-suite bathroom. This private guest suite enjoys separation from the main living areas, making it ideal for visitors.

Outdoor Living

The outdoor spaces are every bit as captivating as the interior.

Stone pathways wind through the mature gardens, passing flowering shrubs, ancient cypress trees and dramatic agave plants. A charming wrought-iron gate opens onto one of the property’s most spectacular viewpoints, where uninterrupted mountain vistas stretch across the landscape.

The swimming pool is perfectly positioned to take advantage of the extraordinary setting. Surrounded by terraces and generous lounging areas, it offers a wonderful space for entertaining, relaxing in the sun or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings.

Adjacent to the pool is a large terrace with ample room for outdoor dining, together with a charming covered dining area framed by traditional Mudéjar-style brick arches. Here, the Crestalina Mountains provide a breathtaking backdrop, creating a setting that feels almost cinematic.

Additional Buildings & Potential

In addition to the main house, the property benefits from several outbuildings and storage areas which offer exciting possibilities for future development. Whether as guest accommodation, creative studios, workshops or income-generating rental units, these spaces provide considerable flexibility for a new owner.

Location

Properties offering this combination of privacy, accessibility and scenery are increasingly rare. The house enjoys complete peace and seclusion while remaining just minutes from Gaucín’s renowned restaurants, galleries and vibrant international community.

The Mediterranean coast can be reached in approximately 25 minutes, while Málaga and Gibraltar airports are both within easy reach.

A Rare Opportunity

This is a house full of character, charm and soul, occupying an exceptional setting with some of the finest views in the area. While the property would benefit from updating ‌and ‌some ‌renovation, ‌it ‌represents a ‌rare opportunity to ‌acquire ‌a truly ‌magical ‌country retreat at a ‌highly ‌attractive price.

A ‌little piece ‌of ‌paradise ‌in ‌the ‌hills ‌of ‌Gaucín.
