F5521054 Rural Chalet With Guest House In The Mountains Of Casares

Set in the hills near Casares, this country property offers privacy, space and views across the Mediterranean towards Gibraltar and the Atlas Mountains of North Africa. Sitting on over 11,500m² of land, the property comprises a three-bedroom main house and a separate one-bedroom guest apartment, making it suitable as a family home, holiday retreat or a property with rental potential.

The main house measures 193m² and is accessed via a mostly concreted track, approximately five minutes from the main road. Automatic gates open onto private parking and a driveway leading to a carport.

Inside, the entrance opens onto a spacious kitchen and dining area with a high beamed ceiling and large double-glazed wooden windows. Natural light fills the room throughout the day, while the views south towards the sea, Gibraltar and the Moroccan mountains are a defining feature. The kitchen leads directly onto a terrace, ideal for breakfast or outdoor dining, with access to the swimming pool.

A Moorish-style archway leads to the living room, where high ceilings and a wood-burning stove create a comfortable space for cooler evenings. A guest WC completes this level.

On the lower floor, the master bedroom has an en-suite bathroom and fitted wardrobes. French doors open onto a gallery connecting the bedrooms with the terrace and pool area. Two further bedrooms, one currently used as a library, and a family bathroom complete the accommodation.

The outdoor spaces are designed for enjoying the Andalusian climate. The 10 x 5 metre swimming pool is surrounded by sunbathing terraces and a large covered area for relaxing in the shade. There is also a fitted outdoor kitchen with a bar, barbecue area, Jacuzzi and space for outdoor dining, providing plenty of room to entertain family and friends.

The separate 49m² guest apartment has its own entrance and comprises a sitting room with a semi-open kitchen, one bedroom and a bathroom. Although functional, it would benefit from some updating. Nearby, a carport and garage area provide additional storage, alongside a workshop and technical room.

The grounds combine a landscaped garden with Mediterranean planting and more natural woodland. Part of the land is relatively flat, offering space for growing fruit and vegetables, while the remaining area includes cleared, accessible forest with established cork oaks. There is also a chicken pen and pathways throughout the plot, allowing you to explore the land and enjoy the surrounding nature.

Built in 1998, with the guest apartment completed in 2002, the main house, kitchen and bathrooms were refurbished in 2018. The property has gas-fired central heating, although the current owners use two wood-burning stoves and hot-and-cold air conditioning. It is connected to mains water and electricity, with internet access and a septic tank.

Casares is a whitewashed village that offers a taste of Andalusian life, with narrow streets, local shops, restaurants and views across the surrounding hills.
