enchanting Spanish Cortijo in idyllic location in Benahavis

Set in an idyllic location overlooking a tranquil lake and framed by mountain scenery, this
enchanting Spanish Cortijo embodies the timeless appeal of Andalusian architecture. With its
signature central courtyard and over 10,000 m² of mature gardens, the estate exudes authentic
charm, privacy, and a true sense of place.
A welcoming driveway leads to the main entrance, revealing a single-level layout that blends
comfort and practicality. The residence offers six bedrooms — five of which open directly onto
the courtyard — and a collection of elegant living and dining areas that reflect its traditional
character. The rustic kitchen and original finishes retain the home’s warm, authentic spirit, while
also offering an exciting opportunity for modernisation.
Outside, the serene pool area enjoys captivating views across the lake and surrounding hills,
with generous terraces and shaded dining areas ideal for outdoor living. The landscaped
gardens, though in need of some care, are filled with potential to be transformed into a truly
spectacular setting.
With additional staff accommodation and a rare lakeside position in one of the area’s most
desirable enclaves, this property represents a unique opportunity to restore and elevate an
authentic Andalusian gem into a stunning contemporary estate.
