An exceptionally private estate tucked in the hills behind the traditional town of Benahavis, best known today for its gastronomical pleasures, but once an Arab fortress. Only 7km from the coast at Puerto Banus and Marbella, the pleasure estate boasts its own cattle farm, several hundred hectares of Iberian woodland traversed by crystal springs, two swimming pools heated in winter and shaded tennis courts. The garden incorporates the ruins of an historic Moorish tower from the 10th Century, and still incorporates the original Moorish irrigation streams and channels, now used for the small organic farm and a productive organic herb garden. Numerous vantage points offer breathtaking views of the surrounding unspoilt mountains and valley below. The main house is set on three levels including a two-bedroom apartment with private access and a separate double bedroom suite. With many original features, including beautiful antique tiling, furniture, and textiles, a large dining room opens onto a terrace set with day beds under vine-covered pergola, and a covered dining table perfect for al fresco breakfast or dinners.
