About the home

This impressive Andalucian farmhouse , located in an elevated position, amongst olive and almond groves, has the most stunning views. Overlooking the valley, across white-washed vilages, the scenery stretches across to the Tejeda mountain range.

The rooms all have traditional beamed ceilings, many with terracotta floor tiles, open fire place/wood burning stoves, decorative wrought iron and beautiful original wooden doors.

The outside of the property has extensive patios/seating areas around the pool, gardens abundant with trees and flowers, BBQ and covered eating areas for dining al-fresco. Colmenar has good bars and restaurants, local market, banks, 24 hour medical centre, small supermarkets, bakeries etc. Historic Granada and Malaga, cosmopolitan Marbella and Nerja, beaches, shopping centres, zoo s ,golf, water parks, horse riding are all an easy drive.
