Description

Grupo Ibercosta is proud to present Finca Ricardo, a truly remarkable estate that captures the very essence of traditional Southern Spanish living. Tucked away in the rolling hills of Casares, this expansive property offers a rare combination of absolute privacy, rustic elegance, and sustainable modern infrastructure. If you have been searching for a retreat that balances the peace of the countryside with the convenience of the Mediterranean coast, this finca represents a unique opportunity in one of the most sought-after regions of Andalusia.

The location of Finca Ricardo is nothing short of exceptional. Situated at kilometer 8.5 on the scenic road that connects the azure waters of Casares Costa to the iconic white-washed village of Casares Pueblo, the property sits in a prime geographical position. It is located just moments away from the globally renowned Finca Cortesin Golf & Country Club, home to world-class amenities and luxury dining. Additionally, the local favorite Venta Victoria is nearby, offering a taste of authentic regional gastronomy. This area of Southern Spain is celebrated for its dramatic landscapes, where the rugged mountains meet the sea, providing a microclimate that is pleasant throughout the year.

Casares itself is often described as one of the most beautiful "Pueblos Blancos" (White Villages) in Spain. Living here means being part of a rich historical tapestry, with Moorish architecture and narrow cobblestone streets just a short drive away. However, despite its historical charm, Finca Ricardo is only a ten-minute drive from the modern conveniences of the Costa del Sol, including high-end marinas, international schools, and pristine beaches, making it an ideal choice for both a permanent residence or a sophisticated holiday home.

Upon arriving at the estate, you are greeted by a picturesque one-kilometer private driveway that winds through the natural landscape, ensuring that the home remains completely hidden from the main road. The finca is set on a sprawling plot of 25,000 square meters, providing a vast private playground of Mediterranean flora and tranquility. The orientation is south to west, a coveted positioning that ensures the property is bathed in natural sunlight from dawn until dusk. Perhaps the most magical aspect of this orientation is the spectacular sunset, which paints the sky in shades of orange and violet over the horizon every evening.

The main residence is a masterclass in country-style architecture. Inside, the heart of the home is a spacious, fully fitted country kitchen. Designed for those who love to cook and entertain, it features a generous dining area where family and friends can gather. The living room exudes warmth and character, centered around an original wood-burning fireplace that creates a cozy atmosphere during the cooler winter months. The interior design respects the traditional Andalusian aesthetic, utilizing rustic finishes, terracotta influences, and thick walls that keep the home naturally cool in the summer.

The sleeping quarters are thoughtfully distributed to offer comfort and privacy. The master suite is a peaceful sanctuary with its own en-suite bathroom, providing a private escape within the home. Two additional guest bedrooms are well-appointed and share a beautifully finished family bathroom. Adding to the versatility of the property is a separate "tiny house" located on the grounds. This charming independent structure is perfect for use as a professional home office, an artist’s studio, or a secluded guest cottage for visiting family members.

Outdoor living is where Finca Ricardo truly shines. The main terrace is equipped with a dedicated BBQ area, perfect for al fresco dining under the stars. The private swimming pool comes with an optional cover, allowing for year-round use and maintenance ease. For those with a vision for further enhancement, the property features a natural hilltop area. This elevated point offers the potential to develop a spectacular chill-out zone or viewing deck, which would command breathtaking, panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea and the surrounding mountain ranges.

In an era where independence is valued, Finca Ricardo is ahead of its time. The estate is equipped with 20 high-efficiency solar panels providing electricity and hot water, significantly reducing its carbon footprint and utility costs. The property also benefits from two private wells, ensuring a reliable and independent water supply. This commitment to sustainable living allows owners to enjoy the luxury of the estate with the peace of mind that comes from being self-sufficient.

Finca Ricardo is more than just a house; it is a lifestyle choice. It offers the rare luxury of space, the beauty of the Andalusian countryside, and the proximity to the vibrant coastal life of Southern Spain. At Grupo Ibercosta, we invite you to discover this hidden gem and experience the serenity that only a property of this caliber can provide.
