Haus Antequera

This traditional Andalusian cortijo with 8 bedrooms is located in a quiet rural area but offers easy international access, with nearby high-speed trains taking you to Málaga in 25 minutes and Madrid in 2 hours. Just a 15-minute drive from the town of Antequera, you will live in the very ”heart of Andalusia.” It is the perfect place for courses and clinics.

Access is very simple from the road, via a short path lined with olive trees leading to a large double gate that opens onto a beautiful traditional cobblestone courtyard. The courtyard is spacious and offers numerous parking spaces. From the courtyard, you enter the ”Sanctuary Garden,” where body awareness and meditation sessions have been held for clients.

The heart of the house is the kitchen. Spacious and bright, with beautiful beams, marble floors, walls adorned with traditional Andalusian tiles, a wood stove, and a separate pantry with a wine cellar. The current owners have equipped this kitchen as a true professional catering kitchen, featuring a built-in fryer, electric hobs, gas burners, traditional-style furniture with Moroccan latticework, granite countertops, a double sink, and a breakfast bar.

The kitchen has two doors: one leads to the rear of the property, where there is an impressive ”Moroccan corner” with numerous shrubs and topiary hedges. This idyllic garden must be seen to be believed; it even includes a cold water pool with a dome, recreating the authentic feel of a Moroccan hammam.

From the kitchen, there is a room currently used as a small lounge, followed by the dining room. All rooms in this cortijo are very spacious and bright, staying cool even on the hottest days. All bedrooms retain the original beams and combine quality natural slate floors, marble, traditional tiles, or terracotta. There are also numerous retro-style radiators. They are currently not in use but could be easily connected to a gas supply if needed.

On the ground floor, there is a guest bedroom with an en-suite bathroom. This room features a wood stove and original tiled flooring. From the dining room, an impressive staircase leads to the first floor, where there is an en-suite bedroom with ample storage space. This room connects to another additional bedroom with a terrace that descends to the outdoor kitchen area.

Another bedroom on this floor has two charming Juliet balconies overlooking the stunning exterior.

The exterior of the property features numerous trees and plants, including a large plantation of approximately 1,300 productive olive trees, as well as cacti, fig trees, almond trees, citrus, apple, and pear trees. A second large terrace with original terracotta tiles of distinct Spanish character is also accessible from the ground floor bedroom.
