A village renovation project with two street entrances and a guest annexe

Fifty square metres of terrace, an upper patio, and a garden give this 4 bedroom detached villa with garden in Casares genuine outdoor room right in the historic village centre. The property measures 300 square metres of built area and needs complete renovation. Instead of a standard single-door layout, it has dual access from two different streets: one entrance sits next to the main village plaza, and the other lies at the entrance to the town.

The main house and the hayloft

Three of the four bedrooms are in the main part of the house, along with a living room, a kitchen with its own fireplace, a full bathroom, and a small guest toilet. There is also a former hayloft and a storage room within the footprint. Because the building requires full refurbishment, the hayloft gives raw volume to work with, whether that becomes a larger living area, a work studio, or additional sleeping quarters during the redesign.

A separate annexe with a rustic oven

The fourth bedroom belongs to a separate small annexe that functions as an independent unit from the main house. It has its own living room, a bedroom, and a second kitchen equipped with both a fireplace and an authentic rustic oven. Having two separate entrances to the property makes this layout practical: visitors or extended family can use the annexe without walking through the main residence, and builders can plan the renovation of the two sections as distinct zones.

Garden, upper patio, and terrace space

Outdoor space in a white village is often limited to a narrow balcony, so having a garden, an upper patio, and 50 square metres of terrace alters how the house can be used once the building work is finished. The terrace looks out over the whitewashed buildings of Casares village, while the patio and garden provide enclosed outdoor areas away from the cobbled streets. A buyer viewing this 4 bedroom detached villa with garden in Casares should check the orientation of both the patio and the terrace, as well as the structural condition of the walls around the garden.

Life in historic Casares village

Casares sits on a hilltop 435 metres above sea level, surrounded by the Sierra Bermeja mountains and valleys looking down toward the Mediterranean Sea. The village is a declared Historic-Artistic Site with narrow cobbled streets, ancient fountains, and castle ruins. Reaching the coast takes a short drive down the mountain road: the beaches at Playa Ancha and the golf course at Finca Cortesin are 12 to 15 kilometres away. Estepona lies 10 kilometres from the village, Manilva is a similar drive down the hill, and Gibraltar is roughly 30 kilometres to the southwest.
