The property is located at the end of a short track which is partly concreted (500m) past a small scattering of other lovely country houses.

The private drive leads into a beautiful open courtyard area, with the house on one side, a patio around which the stable blocks are built, a second living unit in need of improvements, and a garage.

The house has lovely gardens around it, set in a natural wooded landscape and stunning scenery.

There is a small, wooden-clad spash pool.

This area is often referred to as the 'Pyrenees' of Malaga and is an area of outstanding natural beauty, with many walking and riding paths through exceptional countryside.

From a wooded patio garden to the side of the main house, a doorway leads into a typical Andalusian courtyard patio, currently roofed in a transparent roofing material.

From this pretty courtyard, there are two doors, on either side, leading into the two parts of the house.

To one side, the very large kitchen/dining room with beams, a beautiful corner wood-burner, and large dining area. The kitchen is fully fitted, finished with traditional Andalusian tiling, and a large breakfast bar separates it from the main dining area. This room is around 7 x 4.5m.

Beyond, a door leads into the first bedroom, which is 6 x 3.25m, which potentially could be divided into two bedrooms, or a bathroom could be installed to make a comfortable en-suite bedroom.

There is also a utility and laundry room, off the kitchen.

On the other side of the courtyard, a door leads into a hallway (3.5 x 2m), with a door to the bathroom (3 x 1.5m), and then into the living room with corner fireplace (5 x 4m).

There is another bedroom off this room which is also an excellent size (4 x 4m).

To one side of this section of the house and accessed from outside, is a large tool shed (3 x 2m) which could potentially be incorporated into the main house.

The main complex of outbuildings consists of a U-shaped construction of stables in a little 'street' which, when decked with flowers would look incredible.

The approximate size of this complex is around 205m2, including a large garage of 18m2, an office, an apartment with a kitchenette, (could be enlarged by incorporating the office next door) and a couple of smaller outbuildings behind.

This is made up of the following 'blocks' approximately:

Block 1: 11x5m

Block 2: 7x4m

Block 3: 7 x 3.5m

Block 4: 7x3m

Block 5: 16 x 3.25m

Garage: 18m2

Beyond the buildings, is a large expanse of lawn, where until the Autumn of 2012 there was an above-ground swimming pool which appears on the Catastro Registry and the Property Registry, and could therefore potentially be reinstated. (A previous owner took it away due to poor condition).

There is also an attractive outside bar to the end of this area, with a further outbuilding (3 x 3m) which has been made into an extra living and relaxation room. There is another store room by the manege.

The very large exercising 'manege' for horses is covered, via a metal structure and roof, making it useable even in the heat of summer or the rain (600m2).

Here the views are both of the spectacular and dramatic mountains and the view of the beautiful valley and there is even a glimpse of the Mediterranean sea, which glitters in the distance.

This fascinating property offers an amazing amount of potential for anyone wishing to start an equestrian or similar business.

The property has natural water (supplied to all the neighbouring properties), mains electrics, fast broadband internet can be connected, and it has oil-powered central heating via radiators.

It has a set of deeds and is registered on the Property Registry.
