The property is located in a quiet, private unspoilt position on a south facing hillside 3 kms. from the pretty whitewashed village of Riogordo. Surrounded by mature Olive groves it is approached via a good dirt road from either the main A356 (Casabermeja to Velez Malaga) or the road between Riogordo and Benamargosa.
This small and unspoilt area of Andalucia known as ‘Axarquia’ is still a well kept secret and has retained its’ traditional rural character, with the local villages celebrating all the traditional feast days, harvests etc. with Fiestas, music, dance, food and wine. Untouched by mass tourism, it remains predominately agricultural.
Bordered to the north and east by the rugged mountains of the high Sierras, and to the south by the Mediterranean coast, it is a designated area of outstanding natural beauty, and contains many National Parks.
Since the completion of the new motorway system, the historic great cities of the south: Granada, Cordoba, Malaga, Antequera, Seville and Rhonda are all easily accessible; and the Ski Slopes of the Sierra Nevada are only an hour and a half away.
