MANILVA, Andalusia, Address available on request

This beautiful 8 bedroom Andalucian house is available for sale in the picturesque, and historic, wine producing village of Manilva. Not only would this property make the most amazing family home but, due to its layout and size, it would also lend itself to being a successful hospitality property such as a B&B for those looking for a lifestyle change. The views from this home are absolutely outstanding, spanning across the surrounding countryside, local mountain range and the Mediterranean sea. The property is currently split into two areas. 
On entering the house on the upper level, you pass through a lovely terraced area and under a beautiful grapefruit tree, which takes you to the traditional wooden front door. You are greeted by an airy entrance hall that leads into the spacious sitting room with direct access to the large terrace, with beautiful open views across the private pool area, countryside and the coast. From the sitting room there is direct access to the large Andalucian style kitchen which also leads onto this fantastic terrace, from where you can enjoy a leisurely breakfast and alfresco dining. On this upper level there are 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. Two of these bedrooms have ensuite bathrooms and the other three bedrooms (one currently used as a Tv room) share a large family bathroom. There is also another terrace on this level that has been closed in, which allows two of the bedrooms to have a direct access to a conservatory type area which could be used as an office, children´s play room or an extra living room for year round use.
Downstairs there are three more bedrooms, all with extra high ceilings and plenty of natural light, and two ensuite bathrooms. The living area downstairs is open plan with a modern and airy feel. There is the large kitchen with breakfast bar, a Tv area with comfy sofa, a more formal seating area and an office. The property offers plenty of outdoor space, with many different terraced areas around the swimming pool, under the grapefruit tree, around the summer kitchen and also a basketball area.

The entrance of the property is accessed via gates and a concrete driveway that leads past the property´s front door and down to the large garage situated under the house. There is private parking for over 10 cars within the property. On a lower level from the house is a field that is part of the property, accessed via a separate gate, which would be ideal for anyone who wants to grow their own fruit and vegetables (it is currently unused).

Locationwise, this house is accessed by passing through the village and offers easy access to the Ap7 which takes you directly to Marbella and onto Malaga. The house sits on the outskirts of the village, with the village centre only a one minute drive from the house. The coast and beaches are a 10 minute drive at most, with the beautiful coastal town of Sabinillas offering long sandy beaches, shops, bars, and restaurants, that remain open all year round. Another few minutes by car will take you to the lovely Marina of La Duquesa with yachts and year round night life, plus the exclusive Sotogrande marina is only 15 minutes away. World famous Marbella and Puerto Banus are 25 mins away by car. Malaga airport is 50 minutes away and Gibraltar airport only 20 minutes away.

Within 10kms of the house there are 7 golf courses, one being the exclusive Finca Cortesin Golf resort, hotels, spas, horse riding, Roman mud baths, yacht rentals, jet skiing, vineyards and dolphin watching. The house offers a lot of space, privacy, views and tranquillity but is close enough to "life" for when you want the hustle and bustle that the Costa del Sol is so famous for.
