Description

Grupo Ibercosta is proud to present a truly unique real estate opportunity located in the heart of Andalusia. Nestled along the serene banks of the Manilva River and just a short stroll from the legendary Baños de la Hedionda, this magnificent estate offers a level of privacy and natural beauty that is increasingly rare on the Costa del Sol. Situated in the picturesque municipality of Casares, South Spain, this property serves as a peaceful sanctuary where the rugged charm of the mountains meets the refreshing spirit of the Mediterranean countryside.

Despite its secluded atmosphere, the estate is exceptionally well-connected. It is located just a five-minute drive from the golden beaches of Casares Costa and the vibrant marina of La Duquesa in Manilva. With immediate access to the AP7 and A7 motorways, residents can enjoy the tranquility of a rural retreat while being only a short distance from the luxury hubs of Marbella and Sotogrande, as well as the international airports of Málaga and Gibraltar. This makes it an ideal choice for those who demand a high quality of life without sacrificing modern convenience.

A Traditional Villa Designed for Elegance and Comfort

The centerpiece of this vast property is a stunning traditional-style villa, thoughtfully designed on a single level to ensure accessibility and a seamless flow between living spaces. The residence spans a generous footprint, featuring five spacious bedrooms, four of which include luxurious en suite bathrooms, providing ample space for family and guests alike. A guest toilet is also conveniently located within the main layout.

The heart of the home is the spectacular 60 m² living room. This grand space is defined by its high vaulted ceilings and a classic fireplace, creating an atmosphere of rustic grandeur. Large, strategically placed windows allow Mediterranean sunlight to flood the interior, offering constant views of the surrounding greenery. Adjacent to the living area is a charming 20 m² rustic kitchen, fully equipped with high-quality wooden furniture and designed for those who appreciate the art of country cooking. For additional versatility, the property includes a separate 50 m² two-story annex with an independent entrance, which can easily serve as a guest cottage, artist’s studio, or staff accommodation.

Expansive Land and Agricultural Opportunities

Spanning an impressive 112,000 m² (approximately 27.7 acres), the estate offers a world of possibilities for the visionary buyer. The land is currently undeveloped, providing a blank canvas for various ambitious projects. Thanks to the region’s fertile soil and unique microclimate, the estate is perfectly suited for agricultural ventures. It currently hosts a plantation of 25 avocado trees, with plenty of room to expand into tropical fruit cultivation, such as mangoes or citrus.

Furthermore, the property is an ideal site for establishing a world-class equestrian center or cultivating vineyards of the renowned Moscatel grape, a staple of the local Casares and Manilva heritage. The southwest-facing orientation ensures maximum sun exposure, while the front porch and partially covered pergola provide a breathtaking vantage point to admire the Sierra de la Utrera. To support any future development, the estate is equipped with a fully legal water well and a stable electricity supply, ensuring all infrastructure requirements are met from day one.

A Legacy of History and Natural Splendor

What truly sets this estate apart from any other in Southern Spain is its profound historical significance. The entrance to the property is marked by a stunning 16th-century bridge, meticulously restored in the 18th century. Originally part of an intricate local irrigation system, this bridge remains in use today, serving as a functional piece of history that connects the modern world with the heritage of the region. Being located next to the Baños de la Hedionda, the famous Roman sulfur baths, adds an extra layer of prestige and cultural value to the location.

At Grupo Ibercosta, we believe this property represents more than just a home; it is a lifestyle investment. Whether you are looking for a grand private residence to escape the bustle of the city, a commercial venture in the equestrian or agricultural sectors, or a long-term investment in one of Europe’s most sought-after regions, this Casares estate delivers on every front. Experience the perfect harmony of nature, history, and luxury in a setting that is truly unparalleled.
