Paradise, a hidden gem that is rarely discovered! This unique, fully renovated (2022) Finca/Cortijo is situated in a privileged and peaceful countryside location, between the picturesque village of Monda and the vibrant city of Marbella (25 minutes away), and Malaga/airport (45 minutes away). Despite its rural setting, it offers easy access to major towns and stunning beaches, providing the best of both worlds. Nestled on a hillside surrounded by unspoiled nature, this extraordinary retreat offers an oasis of tranquility. The property boasts 7 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms, set on an extensive 9,100 m² plot, with a total built-up area of 700 m². It includes 2 guest accommodations and seamlessly blends modern comfort with rustic charm. Inside, the recently renovated main house features five bedrooms and five bathrooms. The interior showcases a Mediterranean-chic style, with meticulous attention to detail, beautiful contemporary furnishings, and a modern open kitchen. All bathrooms, floors, and the kitchen are finished in microcement. The impressive entrance, with its beautiful old wooden doors, opens into the lounge (or living room), which retains much of its original style. The lounge has access to the terrace and garden, and two master bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms are accessible from this space. Further through the lounge, via elegant wooden doors, is the open-plan kitchen/diner area, also finished in microcement and equipped with all necessary appliances, including an oven, combi oven, hob with built-in extractor, various built-in refrigerators, and a utility room. A hallway off the living room leads to a separate toilet and a third en-suite bedroom. The fourth and fifth en-suite bedrooms are accessible via the terrace, offering privacy and private terraces for each room. The property also includes 2 guest (or staff) accommodations in an outbuilding. These rooms, decorated in a bohemian style, feature sleeping and relaxing areas, as well as fully equipped kitchenettes, and each has its own terrace. All rooms are equipped with air conditioning that also serves as heating for the winter months. The lounge and kitchen area also have a fireplace. Outside, the finca offers enchanting dining and lounge areas, complete with a bamboo canopy and a fireplace. The spacious swimming pool, equipped with salt electrolysis, is surrounded by luxurious lounge beds. The outdoor spaces are designed to offer an unforgettable and authentic Mediterranean experience, whether entertaining guests or enjoying a quiet dinner. The lush garden, with panoramic views, enhances this little paradise. The numerous cozy corners, shady trees, and abundant flowers are a feast for the eyes. A second covered terrace, with a storage room and spare bathroom, leads to ample parking via a staircase. The property has three entrances, two with electric gates, and one via an unpaved road that leads to a second plot with potential for expansion. The final stretch to the Cortijo includes a well-maintained dirt road, with an alternative route that is partially paved.
