A spectacular loft-style home
At the heart of the main house is an impressive open-plan living area with soaring ceilings and a mezzanine. Authentic features, generous proportions and contemporary finishes combine to create a truly distinctive atmosphere.
The newly fitted bespoke kitchen opens directly onto the living space and features a large island, an American-style fridge and a high-quality combination steam oven. It is a wonderful setting for cooking, dining and entertaining.
The main house has three spacious bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom. There is also a separate TV room, an office and an exceptional amount of practical storage. The well-considered layout allows the different areas to flow naturally into one another.
A fully independent casita
The separate casita is a complete second home with two generous bedrooms, its own kitchen and two bathrooms. It also enjoys a private terrace and garden.
This independent accommodation is ideal for relatives or friends who value their own space and privacy. Subject to the applicable permissions, it could also serve as guest accommodation, a workspace or a rental unit.
Ideal as a family home or luxury guesthouse
Molino el Tejar is exceptionally well suited to life as a spacious family home. The main house offers comfortable everyday living, while relatives or guests can stay independently in the casita.
Thanks to its layout and the separate access to the rooms, the estate also presents interesting possibilities for a small luxury guesthouse or B&B concept. Guests can be welcomed discreetly without compromising the privacy of the main residence. Any tourism-related use would, of course, be subject to the necessary licences and permissions.
A remarkable artistic heritage
