Authentic Andalusian Cortijo Overlooking the Lake in Benahavís - Set in an idyllic lakeside location surrounded by majestic mountain scenery, this authentic Spanish Cortijo captures the timeless beauty and elegance of traditional Andalusian architecture. Framed by more than 10,000 m² of mature gardens, the estate offers complete privacy, tranquillity, and an unmistakable sense of place.

A charming driveway leads to the main entrance, where a classic central courtyard welcomes you into a home that balances rustic character with effortless comfort. Designed on a single level, the residence features six bedrooms, five of which open directly onto the courtyard, alongside a series of inviting living and dining areas that showcase the home’s Andalusian heritage.

The traditional kitchen, original finishes, and exposed beams maintain a warm, authentic atmosphere, while also offering an exciting opportunity for modern renovation or transformation.

Outside, the swimming pool and sun terraces provide panoramic views of the lake and rolling hills, with generous shaded dining areas ideal for al fresco entertaining. The landscaped gardens, though requiring some attention, are filled with potential to be reimagined into an exceptional Mediterranean retreat.
