A stone lined pathway meanders through the garden with various seating areas to enjoy. To the right of the garage door, a wooden stable door opens into a large terrace with built-in BBQ and access to the cortijo´s front door. This terrace wraps around the house to the side and rear. Then, to the side a couple of steps lead down to the pool terrace with plenty of sunbathing space surrounding the bespoke 7m private pool. To the right is the pool pump house. For clients who are keen swimmers wanting exercise, the pool is fitted with an ´against current´ swimming system. To the rear of the home there are more established gardens with mature plants & trees including orange & fig trees, grapevines, roses etc. A long terrace from the rear of the house is an ideal spot to enjoy some afternoon shade, whilst a door from the dining room leads out to a seating area with stone table & bench seats, perfect for al fresco dining. A gateway then leads down to a sunken garden with a circular seating area.
Back to the main front terrace, double doors open into the main formal lounge which boasts a log burning stove and an open set of stairs up to the first floor with a store cupboard underneath. To the right there is a ground floor family bathroom with a full bath and shower above.

At the end of the kitchen, double doors lead out to a very private walled courtyard which is a real sun trap and is home to a spiral staircase up to the roof terrace. A gate at the far end of the courtyard leads to another walled garden and access to the workshop/craft room.
