Do you have a question about this home or the local area?

Located in Cártama, in the foothills of the Sierra de Mijas Mountains, this modern countryside home is an idyllic place if relaxing, hiking, and golfing are on the agenda. Not only is its design style the definition of calm, but its rural Andalusian spirit guarantees a tranquil retreat for you and your loved ones. This charming house offers a contemporary interior with all the comforts you’d wish to call this place home. The large open layout allows light to flood the space whilst also creating cosy areas for afternoons on the plump sofas with your new summer read. You’ll come to appreciate the thoughtful precision that went into this home whether you’re challenging a family member to a game of cards in the patio lounge, floating in the shimmering pool or preparing a grilled tapas spread in the outdoor kitchen. Turn on your summer playlist, then fix up a pitcher of sangria and soak up the Spanish rays. As the night sky descends, stretch out on your loungers for a stargazing session. Put on your walking boots and head out to explore the hiking trails, making sure to stop off at Puerto de la Graja, an observation deck with breathtaking views. Or, make the drive into Málaga for a day of beaching, gallery hopping and dynamic dining.
