7-bedrooms, House, Spain, Andalucia, Sotogrande, 18th Century Cortijo, Manilva, ID GBSSOTSOT200021

A truly unique property only a 5 minute drive from the coast, this beautifully restored Cortijo, originally dating back to circa 1760 and listed, enjoys sea views to Calahonda east and towards Sotogrande west. The land is nearly 8,572 m2 with a 663 square metre built house and independent casita/cottage, ideal for extra guests or staff accommodation. The central building retains many of the original features and has an amazing arched entrance hall which also can be used as a formal dining room. In this same part of the house there is an informal sitting room, large country kitchen and 2 double en-suite bedrooms which could be converted into one large master suite. On other side of house, there are two double bedrooms and two twins, all decorated with taste, with en-suite full shower rooms, split in the middle by a beautiful old San Juan independent carriage entrance with Cordobesa styled windows set into 1 metre thick walls along corridor. All these rooms lead out to the garden and pool via French doors and have been used for rental income. Poolside there is a fully equipped bar/chiringuito with covered eating area.

Upstairs there is the most stunning reception room with original beamed wooden apex ceiling and fireplace which opens out to the 30m2 terrace with possibly some of the best sea views in the area.

There is an olive grove producing about 8t of olives and various other fruit trees.

Very rare for such a property, it has planning permission for another approx. 2600m2 of construction as it is classified as urban.
