This beautifully restored farmhouse set in private grounds is only a 10 minute drive from the white village of Jimena de la Frontera, in the province of Cadiz. The overall décor is natural, comfortable and romantic with everything you need for relaxing or entertaining.
The main house consists of a spacious living area which features a large corner fireplace with entertainment being provided by the TV, Bose stereo/DVD, iPod docking station and full size American pool table. Wi-fi internet access is available to those who bring their own laptop. The Bulthaup kitchen with Gaggenau appliances includes a built-in coffee machine, steam oven, regular oven, dishwasher, fridge/freezer and icemaker. The dining table on the main (covered) terrace can seat 10.
The master bedroom is furnished with a king sized bed, fitted wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom with large walk-in power shower and double basins. A freestanding hand carved marble bath sits in a corner of the bedroom by the fireplace. The second double bedroom features a king sized bed, walk in wardrobe and a bathroom with walk-in power shower.
The tower bedroom which boasts a lovely elevated view over the swimming pool is furnished with two single beds, a wardrobe and a desk. The bathroom to the tower bedroom is located underneath and is shared with the small but very sweet single bedroom next to it.
The casita (guest cottage) located a few steps down from the dining terrace consists of a large double bedroom, a private bathroom with walk in shower, a comfortable living room, a small but fully equipped kitchen and a private terrace to the rear. The casita is furnished with a plasma screen TV, music system with speakers and iPod docking station. Two sofa beds are also available if required.
A separate laundry room and drying area can be found to the side of the guest cottage.
All the bathrooms are in the Moroccan style with polished plaster walls and various handmade mosaic features. The fittings are of the highest standard, and water pressure is powerful with all the bathroom floors having under floor heating.
There is air conditioning throughout (for cooling & heating), which is rarely needed due to the breeze and ample shade, however it can be useful in the height of summer (july/august). In addition the house is fully centrally heated, and has two fireplaces. A baby cot and highchair can be provided.
The outdoor features include an Andaluz style central courtyard with lemon trees and a fountain, a large shaded outside terrace for dining and entertaining, a 10m x 10m swimming pool, chiringuito (pool bar, fridge/icemaker and barbecue) and music system/iPod connections for the terrace and pool area. Beach/Pool towels are provided.
Olive, fig, almond, pomegranate, eucalyptus and citrus trees grow in the garden, along with organic salad, herbs, tomatoes and vegetables in season. There is a large area of lawn winding all the way around the property for children to play. A garage is found at the top of the driveway that leads to the house.
Birdwatchers will enjoy seeing all sorts of migratory birds including hoopoes, swallows, eagles, vultures and in the spring the meadows are full of wild flowers. Every evening at about 8pm the normally peaceful atmosphere is broken for a few brief minutes when the black pigs who reside on the hillside opposite realise that it's feeding time. All of this is part and parcel of the rural appeal of this wonderfully charming country residence.
