A quaint finca almost out of Grimm’s Fairy Tales perfect for the reclusive artist, writer or painted, or simply someone in love with nature.

After passing a winding dirt track up the mountain (in total 1.7 km) all of a sudden the the terrain opens into a flat and shallow valley.

The 28.000 m2 (7 acres) finca covers almost all of the valley and is surrounded by natural stone walls and fences. The finca is south-west orientated and offers spectacular views unblemished by electricity masts, cables or wind mills.

The natural stone exterior of the completely renovated farm house blends perfectly with the rocky outcrops against which the building is leaning. The cottage embraces a small patio (about 5 x 5 meters) on three sides.

Entering the cottage to the right is the spacious, rustic and very comfortable lounge with open plan kitchen, dining area and log fireplace. The central part of the cottage includes a bathroom with sunken bath tub, a bedroom built into the overhanging rocks and a covered barbecue stand. From there, turning left is another bedroom with a shower bath en-suite. The third bedroom completes the accommodations.

The approximately 120 m2 cottage is lovingly furnished and decorated and satisfies all needs of day to day life. Near the cottage is an original bread baking oven and further up in the garden is a beautiful 8 x 4 meter swimming pool with sun terrace and breathtaking views.

There are about 80 orange trees in full production, many different fruit trees and a herb and vegetable garden. All the area around the cottage and the pool is grassed and interspersed with colourful flowers. The larger part of the finca is dedicated to pastures for horses or donkeys.

The present owner installed a state-of-the-art solar come windmill power station providing uninterrupted electricity throughout the year. The water comes from a spring in the mountains and besides providing water for the cottage fills the pool and waters the gardens and trees. There is satellite TV and telephone with the possibility to connect internet.

Situated high above the village of Facinas, the site of the historic Roman town of Baelo Claudia and near the pristine beaches of Bolonia. The nearest village with shops, banks, pharmacy and restaurants is Facinas and can be reached in under 10 minutes. Gibraltar airport is about 45 minutes away and even a day trip to Morocco is no effort.

And if you are worried about neighbours, don’t be as there are thousands of hectares of the Natural Park of Los Alcornocales (cork oak trees) surrounding the farm and the nearest neighbour is about 2 km away.
