Finca - Cortijo in Pizarra

Located in the rich green valleys, nestled comfortably between Alora and Pizarra, this glorious finca looks out seemingly surveying its acres of land that surround. Skies stretch out as far as the eye can see, meeting with the mountainous horizon visible from every angle.

Driving up the lengthy private driveway the size and position of the plot can truly be appreciated - a plot of 14 hectares has been carefully planted with fig trees that produce incredible fruit and outstanding rentability. The driveway, which delivers you to the front of the finca, passing the swimming pool on the way, uniquely continues past the property and down over to the outbuildings farther along, both of which are used as storage facilities. Huge in their own right, these buildings house vehicles such as mini tractors and trailers. These buildings could also serve as garages for family vehicles, being close enough to the main property for easy access.

Entering the property by walking across the extensive front terrace, where you can dine alfresco whilst taking in the never ending views, you are welcomed in like an old friend. Both of the living spaces open up on either side as if throwing their arms wide to draw you in. The living area is rich and warm in its colour, plush sofas and seating arrangements. Opposite a dining area stretches elegantly across, offering generous seating at an oval shaped glass table . Both sides are brightly illuminated by tall windows that frame the stunning views and allow vast quantities of natural light to flood in.

Through into an open hallway an ornate stairway offers access to the upper floor. A grandiose Wurlitzer from years gone by stands in divergence against the modernity of the sleek grey marble flooring underfoot. Hidden behind an ornate stained glass door is a fully fitted bathroom, mosaic tiled from floor to ceiling in earthy tones and offering a marble corner sink unit and a walk in rain shower.
On the opposite side, and also esconded behind a matching stained glass door is a double bedroom, bright and spacious.

Moving further into the property a striking and much more grand living space opens up in front of you. This is as dazzling as it is open, bright and airy. Surrounded by vast windows allowing continuous shards of light to filter in and brighten the room from corner to corner, this area is a clever take on a completely new concept in open plan. The lounging area is furnished in varying shades of white interspersed with silver and black flourishes and a brick surrounded wood burning fireplace offers winter warmth.

Adjacent is a dining table seating six, sleek and formal in glass and silver giving the effect of being open and streamlined. Situated next to vast glass windows guests can look out into the courtyard located at the rear of the property, which is open to the heavens above yet kept secure within the four walls. At the far side, the kitchen is found which is spacious and bright, with clean cut white fitted units and cupboards, complementing the grey and stainless steel of appliances within. On one side the windows throw the fantastic countryside view at you whilst on the other side the work top and hatch allow total view thought to the living area. Bar stools offer seating to guests who can either enjoy the chefs company or a hearty breakfast.
A further two double bedrooms feature on this floor, both furnished simply yet elegantly, again brightly lit, and with fitted wardrobes offering plenty of storage.

The master bedroom is found on the top floor, secluded and peaceful. A bay window allows light to flood in and irradiate the room whilst pulling your gaze out across to the mountain ranges. Adjacent, the ensuite bathroom completes the privacy whilst the rooftop terrace beckons with an invitation to get even closer to the heavens above. The views from up here stretch over the gardens and off into infinity.

The propertys grounds are far reaching, with the immediate vicinity of the finca offering respite from the summer heat in the pool, stylishly surrounded by a tiled terrace and swaying palm trees, featuring loungers, a sofa area and dining area. A children’s playground offers fun and recreation for those younger visitors.

To live here would surely be akin to being at one with nature, in a constant state of discovery at what lies within the property grounds and in the countryside beyond. They say man is master of his own kingdom - this finca will make you feel exactly that. From sunrise to sunset you can marvel in the stunning surroundings and exceptional peace, all from within this abode set against the rolling hills of Pizarra.
