Country House for sale in Jimena de La Frontera

Nestled in the 425.000-acre cork forest of the Los Alcornocales Natural Reserve, this country estate with a substantial country house, two cottages and two swimming pools set in delightful sub-tropical gardens, is the only finca in miles. A long driveway flanked by cypress trees leads to the main residence. The main house has an enchanting entrance stairway that leads up to the central drawing room on three levels including an inglenook with fireplace, eating area and two sitting areas, opening out to a dining terrace with privileged views. Adjoining on one side is the main kitchen, and the free-form master bedroom with bathroom that overlooks the pool area. The other four fully equipped apartments in the main residence, (each apartment has its own kitchen) open to a beautiful interior patio with fountain, and two that overlook the pool; all have independent accesses. Aside from the main residence there is a garden cottage, and hidden within the grounds is a further two-storey, one bedroom-thatched cottage with kitchen, living room and a private pool and garden. Own well, and three phone lines. Would make a delightful private residence or could be upgraded to a country Hotel with 12 bedrooms.
