1. Fatima Country Estate

2. The beautiful property is set in some amazing countryside close to the Castril Natural park and the hidden jewel of Castril itself. Unusually the cortijo has three hundred and sixty degree unspoiled views of the surrounding sierras including the distant Sierra Nevada. This exclusive property with a build size of 391 m2 has recently been totally and sympathetically renovated to provide a luxury property complete with all modern amenities.

4. With its five bedrooms each with its own en-suite the house would suit a large family, small country hotel or B&B. You enter the house by an impressive hallway that sets the tone for the rest of the home. To the left is the very large L shaped lounge (just over 60m2) with French doors leading to a 50m2 covered terrace.

6. To the right is a spacious dining room with a fully renovated original fireplace and cupboards. Also from the hallway there is a large study or office area and a wine cellar. Completing the ground floor is a wonderful fitted kitchen with a central island with granite work surfaces. Included is a Smeg cooking range, dishwasher, large fridge and separate freezer. Leading from the kitchen is a breakfast room and a separate utility room with washing machine and dryer.

9. First floor On the first floor are five double bedrooms each with an en-suite. Two of the bedrooms are very large (over 20m2) and each of their en-suites has a walk in shower and separate baths. The master bedroom has a copious walk in dressing room and all bedrooms have built in wardrobes.

12. There are beautifully laid out and watered by an automatic irrigation system. The swimming pool has its own rockery and waterfall with stunning views to the distant countryside and mountains. Next to the swimming pool there is a summer kitchen with a build in BBQ, cupboards and sink. In total there are five and a half hectares (50,000m2) of land with olive, almond and fruit trees. Also in the grounds is a cave house of 48m2, which could be converted into further accommodation if required. There is a covered car port for 2 cars with plenty of additional parking space.

17. Services Oil fired under floor heating is installed throughout. The property has mains electricity and there is an emergency generator making it easier to convert to solar if required. The property also has telephone, ADSL Internet, satellite TV, and a monitored alarm system. There is both mains water and a well with an automatic pumping system and two large water tanks. The house has double glazing throughout. With these facilities in place it would be easy to live in luxury off the grid.

18. Location The house is three minutes drive from the small village of Fatima with its supermarkets, bars, restaurants and weekly health clinic. Ten minutes drive away is the picturesque town of Castril with its shops, market, banks, school and health center. Slightly further afield are the Natural Parks of Castril and Cazorla and the Lakes of Castril and Bolero. The entire area is one of outstanding natural beauty in which can be found a wide range of flora and fauna.
