One of Spain’s most spectacular and exclusive properties rises in a completely private valley, surrounded by hills and lush Mediterranean woodland, within a 260.000 m2 rural estate. This majestic palace-style villa is located just 14 kilometres north of Ronda, Hemingway’s favourite Andalusian city, famous for its iconic bridge and historic bullring, the oldest in the country.
Designed and built a decade ago to meet its owners’ exacting specifications, this residence reflects exquisite taste and attention to detail in every corner. With almost 800 m2 of built area, the property combines luxury, tradition and serenity in an incomparable natural setting.
The main entrance is through an Andalusian courtyard filled with vegetation, featuring a central fish pond and various seating areas that evoke peace and harmony. A spacious hallway runs along the central wing of the house.
At the end of this hallway is a designer kitchen, fully equipped with high-end appliances, stainless steel cabinets and marble countertops. From here, there is direct access to the front courtyard, gardens with a barbecue area, laundry room and a staff bedroom.
At the opposite end is the dining room, a highly elegant space presided over by an 18th-century mahogany table, with French windows opening onto the manicured lawn surrounded by flowers, a beautiful pergola and a second barbecue area ideal for outdoor dining.
Next to the dining room is the cosy secondary living room, perfect for relaxation, with double doors leading to the outdoor terrace. This is followed by the main living room, generously proportioned and with marble floors, featuring an imposing fireplace and a handmade Indian rug from Jaipur, which took eight months to make.
The villa also has an office or study, and at the end of the main wing we find the impressive master suite, tastefully furnished, with its own sitting room and French windows offering panoramic views from two aspects. Its en-suite bathroom is equally spectacular, with a bathtub, shower and white marble washbasin.
The opposite wing houses four further bedrooms, all uniquely decorated, with impeccable finishes and spacious en-suite bathrooms. One is accessed from the hallway and the remaining three from the front courtyard.
Grand staircases lead to a landscaped lower terrace with fish ponds and peaceful corners for relaxation. The estate also has one hectare of vineyards producing Reserva-quality grapes, as well as more than two hectares of olive groves.
On an elevated hillside, the owners have created a secret Mediterranean garden, hidden among the trees, another charming corner that makes this estate a unique experience to discover and enjoy.
