Set in a idyllic position overlooking the lake, this Spanish Cortijo is one of a kind.
Built in a traditional Andalusian style, featuring a beautiful central courtyard and over 10.000 m2 of lush and majestic gardens, this estate is simply magnificent.
As we enter the property, a beautiful driveway leads us to the main entrance of the Cortijo.
The accommodation is all on one level, offering a very comfortable living, with five of the six bedrooms surrounding the central courtyard.
There are various living and dining areas, as well as a rustic traditional kitchen.
All designed in an authentic andalusian style.
Outside we have a fantastic swimming pool overlooking the lake and the mountains, and a fabulous outdoor dining area with fantastic views towards the lake and the unique gardens.
Staff quarters are housed in a separate adjacent building.
A rare lakefront home in one of the best locations the area has to offer.
Benahavís is a Spanish town (pueblo) and municipality in the province of Malaga.
It is a mountain village between Marbella, Estepona, and Ronda, 7 kilometers (4.3 mi) from the coast.
On the southern face of La Serranía de Ronda mountain range, Benahavís is one of the most mountainous villages on the western Costa del Sol, near the resort beaches as well as the spectacular mountains of the Serrania de Ronda.
Its terrain is traversed by the Guadalmina, Guadaiza and Guadalmansa Rivers.
Places of great natural and historic interest are to be found within its boundaries, such as El Cerro del Duque, Daidin and the Montemayor Castle.
During the late 1990s, the Junta de Andalucia constructed a dam on the site of an old marble quarry, and now for much of the year the once ever-flowing Río Guadalmina is a dried-up riverbed.
