Details
The main house has been constructed in the traditional Andalusian style with locally sourced natural materials, wooden doors and ceiling beams, terracotta floor tiles and is brimming with character and the warmth of a real country home. It's built on a 19.000 m2 plot and has besides a lovely pool also 3 horse stables and dog kennels. Set in spectacular countryside, it is just a few minutes drive from the white village of Canillas De Aceituno and the charming hamlet Rio Bermuza and only half an hour from the coast.
The drive from Canillas de Aceituno winds its way along country lanes, through stunning and peaceful countryside and brings you to this lovely property. After purchasing the land this idyllic home was built under the supervision and design specification of the current owners resulting in a rustic style, extremely comfortable Andalusian home, only using rustic materials. It combines plenty of space, light and a cosy atmosphere.

description OUTSIDE
The property is gated with a gravel drive where there is sufficient car parking and a covered car port (2x2m). On the opposite side of the front door is a large outbuilding for storage purposes. On entering through the garden gate on the left hand side are three well-constructed dog kennels which are fenced and have a spacious run area.
Accessed from the parking area, the kitchen and through patio doors from the dining area, there is an attractive outdoor, covered living area with sofas and a built in BBQ (4 x 4 m). Ideal for alfresco dining or relaxing during lazy summer day.
Attractive, well-tended and established gardens enclose a natural stone patio area, which features the large swimming pool (10 x 5 m) with steps leading in from one side. Beyond the pool, a ‘secret garden’ has been created (7x8m); a wide, low seating area, with built-in storage areas to hold the tailor-made cushions. From this area one can really appreciate the stunning views of the majestic Tejeda mountain range and the beautiful hills and valleys of the Andalusian countryside.
Back to the car park area, a concrete slope leads down to the equestrian area where there are three very spacious horse stables (approx. 10 m2 each) and a hay barn (28 m2), which surround the large paddock, enclosed with a fence. From here you gain access to the owners land below where there are a further two fenced paddocks and a ‘manege/training area'. In total the equestrian area is suitable for 4+ horses.
A little further down via a path and steps there is another small meadow where a lovely orchard of fruit trees has been planted.
IN SHORT
This rustic but comfortable property is perfect for those seeking a private, peaceful location set in the enchanting natural beauty of the Andalusian countryside.

Do come and take a look yourself at Finca Las Monjas and the unique surrounding countryside with the majestic Tejeda mountains and the beautiful hills and valleys of the Andalusian countryside. You will be suprised by the location and opportunities.
