Description

Grupo Ibercosta is proud to present a rare and exciting restoration project located in one of Andalusia’s most iconic and photogenic "pueblos blancos" (white villages). This expansive 300 m² townhouse in Casares represents a unique chance for visionary investors and homeowners to create a bespoke residence or a high-yield tourist venture in the heart of Southern Spain. Perched dramatically on a limestone cliff at 435 metres above sea level, Casares is more than just a location; it is a living monument to Spanish history and a serene sanctuary on the vibrant Costa del Sol.

The Unrivalled Charm of Casares, Southern Spain

Casares is a village that seems to have stood still in time, yet it remains perfectly connected to the modern luxuries of the Mediterranean coast. Declared a Historic-Artistic Site, the village is famous for its narrow, winding cobbled streets and the pristine whitewashed houses that cling to the hillside. From the property, you can enjoy breathtaking panoramic views that stretch across the Mediterranean Sea, reaching as far as the African coastline and the Rock of Gibraltar, while the Sierra Bermeja mountains provide a dramatic backdrop to the north.

This location offers a peaceful alternative to the bustling coastal resorts while keeping them within easy reach. Residents can enjoy the authentic Moorish heritage of the village, exploring ancient castle ruins and historic fountains, or take a short 15-minute drive to the golden sands of Playa Ancha. For golf enthusiasts, the world-renowned Finca Cortesin—host to international tournaments—is just minutes away. The strategic position of Casares also provides quick access to the vibrant town of Estepona (10 km), the luxury of Marbella, and the international transport links of Gibraltar (30 km) and Málaga Airport.

A Versatile Property with Endless Architectural Potential

This property is a "hidden gem" due to its generous size and unique layout. Unlike many village houses, this townhouse boasts dual access: one entrance is conveniently located near the lively main plaza, while the other sits at the entrance of the town, providing ease of logistics for renovation and daily living. Spanning a total of 300 m², the building is currently divided into a main residence and a separate annex, offering the perfect blueprint for a boutique guesthouse or a sprawling luxury family home.

The main house is full of traditional character, featuring a cosy living room and a kitchen equipped with a classic fireplace—the heart of many Andalusian homes. The layout includes three bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a guest toilet. One of the most intriguing features is the original hayloft; with its high ceilings and rustic charm, it is the ideal space for conversion into a master suite or a creative studio. Furthermore, the property includes an upper patio and a terrace that offers some of the most stunning village and mountain vistas in the region, perfect for enjoying the 300+ days of sunshine that this part of Southern Spain guarantees.

The Independent Annex: A Creative Canvas

Adding significant value to this offering is the separate small annex. This self-contained space includes its own living room, bedroom, and kitchen with an additional fireplace. Most notably, it houses an authentic rustic oven, a feature rarely found in modern properties. This annex is ripe for renovation and could serve as an independent apartment for guests, a lucrative short-term holiday rental, or a dedicated workspace. The versatility of having two distinct living areas within the same plot makes this an outstanding prospect for those looking to capitalise on the growing demand for rural tourism in the Costa del Sol hinterland.

Investment Outlook and Pricing

As the Costa del Sol continues to grow, "up-and-coming" areas like Casares are seeing a surge in interest from international buyers seeking authenticity and tranquillity without sacrificing proximity to the sea. This property is not just a home; it is a strategic investment in a high-growth area where property values are steadily rising. Whether you aim to create a boutique "bed and breakfast" or a stunning private retreat, the potential for capital appreciation here is significant.

Priced at €265,000, this 300 m² townhouse offers exceptional value per square metre for a project of this scale in such a prestigious location. Grupo Ibercosta invites you to discover the magic of Casares and take the first step in bringing this historic property back to life.
