/ Alhaurin el Grande

Two hundred years ago a farmhouse was built on the borders of Alhaurin and Mijas. Many years later it was expanded into a beautiful and secluded villa by its eccentric and recluse new owner. At that time the only access from Fuengirola to Alhaurin was by means of a winding dirt road. When he discovered that this quiet road was to be modernised, he was furious that it would impose on his exclusive villa. Soon after, he sold the house to a restaurateur.

Permission was granted for a grand country inn, but unfortunately the company fell on hard times and it had to be sold. The derelict house was ransacked, and later taken over by a group of bad individuals. They lived by selling scrap metal and farming pigs.

This was its condition when the present owners bought it in 2001. The magnificent structure was still solid, embedded into the mountainous rock. Armed with a vision of how majestic the villa could be, the house was taken in hand and a massive expansion was planned.

It took 18 months to obtain the building permission.

All 5 bedrooms are en-suite with whirlpool baths or hydro/massage showers. Three of the bedrooms have walk in wardrobes and wrap around balconies.

There are many reception rooms each with its own character, a tower room with panoramic views, many cloak rooms, luxury kitchen with a joining laundry room, huge grand dining room with a charming open fireplace.

The outside reception area leads on to the pool bar with a spectacular BBQ area, a heated pool and separate Jacuzzi also there are male and female changing rooms.

There is separate fully self contained 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment, also there are provisions for a 2 bedroom bungalow or a recording studio.

Permission and ample space for tennis courts or paddocks , there is new stable block for 4 horses and also a helicopter landing area.

2 Pairs of electric opening gates
20 Air conditioning/heating units, independently controlled
2 Solar heating systems

62,000 square metres of rustic woodland envelope the house. The exclusive valley is surrounded by mountains offering fantastic views and seclusion.

It is situated on the Mijas border, opposite the Alhaurin Golf Course.
The ‘Castle’ is on the main road from Fuengirola to Alhaurin El Grande yet only 30 minutes from both Malaga Airport and Marbella.
