Spanish Cortijo Country Estate in Estepona

An elegant Spanish Cortijo country estate in Estepona just a ten-minute drive from the main road and beaches of Estepona. Constructed in 2000 in typical Spanish architectural style on 60 hectares of land, it is positioned in a lush pine valley with the Sierra Bermeja range as a backdrop, offering the ultimate peace and privacy.

Accessed via a private driveway, the property provides countryside elegance, featuring a central landscaped courtyard. The estate contains seven spacious ensuite bedrooms, a caretaker home and staff quarters, spacious gardens with pomegranate and lemon trees, an industrial-size kitchen, a spa entertainment area, a large swimming pool with grassed area, and a heliport – perfect for a discreet escape or conversion to a retreat or small hotel.

You enter the property into a spacious foyer with travertine stone floors, which leads to the landscaped courtyard or a spacious country-style kitchen with wooden worktops and plenty of space. Through the kitchen, you find the grand dining and living areas with open fireplaces and in-wall heating open to a lovely terrace overlooking the surrounding pine hills.

The main level also hosts a TV cinema room and four spacious ensuite bedrooms, each with a separate shower and bath, air conditioning, and independent entry from the internal courtyard—perfect as hotel rooms or guest suites. Two of these bedrooms open to private terraces overlooking the pool and mountains. The expansive main suite upstairs features an open fireplace, a large private balcony, an extra spacious bathroom, and a library area overlooking the living room.

The pool and garden level offer a workshop studio, two more ensuite guest bedrooms, separate staff quarters, and an open-plan spa area with a jacuzzi and sauna that opens onto the pool and gardens. Down a driveway, you will find the heliport, a hangar, and a refuelling tank.

Replete with elegant interiors matching the property’s style, the house offers a Bang and Olufsen music and video system. Traditional artisanal touches, like handmade tiles and antique doors, decorate the property with authenticity, history and charm. With a six-car garage, carport and ample parking, this private country retreat near the New Golden Mile and the Mediterranean Sea offers luxury estate country living and could make the ideal high-end Spanish rural hotel.

This is a unique property given its proximity to Estepona, Marbella, and an hour’s drive (or 10-minute helicopter trip) from Málaga Airport.
