Just forty kilometres from Málaga, in the magical folds of La Axarquía, a whitewashed cortijo rests between olive groves and jasmine breezes. Here, Roman and Arabic paths still lace the hills; villages cling to limestone cliffs; history moves at the pace of sunlight. From this serene base, Seville, Córdoba, and Granada are all under ninety minutes; the Costa del Sol is a short coastal drive; Comares lies fifteen minutes uphill; and on a whim, a ferry from Tarifa can make Tangier a day’s adventure.

This is no ordinary country house. Thoughtfully renewed over two decades with devotion and restraint, the hacienda spans ~500 m² on ~8,000 m² of land, welcoming up to 10 guests in 5 spacious bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. Its aesthetic draws on the lacework of Moorish palaces and the hush of monastic architecture—a rare blend of serene simplicity and sumptuous detail.

Life unfolds across ten distinct terraces—some sun-drenched, others shaded and secret—with vistas that drift from mountain silhouettes to flowering courtyards. The mature gardens are a living tapestry: jacaranda, hibiscus, jasmine, palms, pomegranate, and citrus, all nurtured by automated irrigation and lighting that keep the oasis fresh through Andalusia’s brightest days.

At the heart of the estate, a newly renovated 15 × 4 m pool glints like a ribbon of turquoise. Nearby, a traditional patio gathers around an ancient stone fountain, its soft cadence perfect for first coffees and last glasses of wine. Wander further and you’ll find a private chapel and meditation nook beneath fruit-laden branches—more than sixty trees offering oranges, lemons, figs, and seasonal sweetness.

Behind the poetry lies intelligent infrastructure. In addition to city water, a 130-metre private well with advanced filtration feeds a 10,000-litre main deposit, backed by two 30,000-litre reserve tanks for peace of mind. Solar panels heat the water responsibly; a private parking area for up to seven cars welcomes family and friends with ease.

Whether you seek a personal retreat, a gathering place for generations, or an investment with soul, this cortijo is ready. It’s already organised for B&B activity, making a graceful blend of holidays and high-quality returns entirely natural.

Most of all, this finca invites you to slow down—
to breathe, to belong, and to let Andalusia do what it does best:
restore your sense of wonder, one sunlit moment at a time.
