Colmenar Country House

Set within the protected landscape of the Montes de Málaga Natural Park, this substantial country estate enjoys a truly private and tranquil position surrounded by indigenous Mediterranean forest. Despite its seclusion, the property lies just 30 minutes from Malaga, the coast and the international airport — a rare balance between independence and accessibility. The estate extends across six hectares and includes approximately 1,000 m² of built space distributed among several buildings. It is entirely off-grid, powered by a modern photovoltaic solar system with lithium batteries, supported by an automatic auxiliary generator when required. Water is supplied by both a spring and a well, serving the houses and the cultivated areas. A wastewater treatment system is also in place, making the property fully self-sufficient and eco-sustainable. One of the distinguishing features of this finca is its abundant water supply — unusual within the Natural Park — allowing for productive agricultural use alongside complete independence from external utilities. Main HouseThe principal residence is arranged over two floors. On the ground floor: Spacious living room with open fireplace Large kitchen with access to a wine cellar for storing wine produced from the estate’s own vines Bathroom Sauna area and jacuzzi Upstairs: Three bedrooms Two bathrooms, one en suite Wide-reaching views over the surrounding mountains The house benefits from central heating throughout, powered by propane gas stored in a 2,000-litre tank. In front of the main entrance, a generous outdoor entertaining area includes a barbecue, oven and picnic space — ideal for gatherings in the open air. Guest & Caretaker AccommodationConnected via an interior patio planted with orange trees, there is separate guest accommodation comprising two bedrooms and a bathroom. In addition, a caretaker’s house provides four bedrooms and a bathroom. Along the access road to the main house stands another building divided into various compartments, suitable for uses such as horse boxes, storage rooms and wine production. Land, Orchard & Self-SufficiencyThe estate is surrounded by native flora and fauna, offering exceptional privacy with no near neighbours. Within the grounds are: Organic orchard with fruit trees Vegetable garden Vineyard Substantial henhouse The combination of fertile land, reliable water and full energy independence makes the property particularly suited to those wishing to live sustainably or develop a small-scale agricultural lifestyle project. Access is via a five-minute track requiring a 4x4 vehicle — a modest requirement in exchange for the property’s exceptional seclusion within a protected natural environment.
