THE APPROACH: A SENSORY EXPERIENCE

Your arrival begins along the scenic forest road of Barranco Blanco, enveloped by the refreshing aromas of wild thyme and pine. After passing the grand entrance gate, you drive past your private, fenced tennis court and a fully detached guest cottage. Because this guesthouse sits at a generous distance from the main villa, absolute privacy is guaranteed for both owners and visitors.

The primary villa has been completely upgraded to premium Northern European standards, showcasing top-tier materials like micro-cement flooring and the comfort of ground-floor underfloor heating. The ground floor layout is seamlessly designed for everyday living and high-end entertaining:
• Two elegant guest bedrooms featuring en-suite bathrooms and views over the verdant gardens.

An elegant staircase leads to the upper level, which opens into a massive office or lounge area (easily convertible into a 4th bedroom) overlooking the grounds.

A TROPICAL SANCTUARY: LUSH LAWNS AND NATURAL SPRINGS

What truly sets this estate apart in Southern Spain is the presence of vibrant, automatically irrigated green lawns—a true marker of luxury in this climate. Living steps from famous natural waterfalls, you also command your own tropical orchard yielding mangoes, avocados, figs, dates, and citrus, surrounded by exotic flora.
• Wellness: Unwind by the heated saltwater pool or take the spiral stairs down to a shaded retreat, where natural spring water flows through private fish ponds before rejoining the streams of Barranco Blanco.
• Gastronomy: Enjoy alfresco dining under the stars in the covered outdoor kitchen, utilizing fresh produce grown in your own terraced vegetable garden located right next to the kitchen area.

COMPLETE SELF-SUFFICIENCY: YOUR INDEPENDENT KINGDOM
