A lakeside cortijo built around a central courtyard
A 10,000 m² lakeside plot and an existing tourist rental licence set Villa Dos Aguas apart from standard residential listings near the coast. This 8 bedroom finca - cortijo in Cancelada spans 520 m² of built area, arranged predominantly across a single level around an interior courtyard.
Courtyard layout and accommodation
Six of the eight bedrooms open directly onto the central courtyard, which acts as the circulation core of the house and allows guests or family members to come and go without passing through the main living rooms. Across the residence, there are six bathrooms alongside multiple living and dining spaces, a country-style kitchen, and preserved original architectural details with rustic finishes. Because six bedrooms have independent courtyard access, parents of very young children will want to check the layout on site to see how the remaining bedrooms connect. The estate also includes independent staff accommodation, keeping live-in help separate from the main household or paying guests.
Ten thousand square metres by the lake
A private driveway winds through mature gardens and established vegetation to reach the house, screening the buildings from the outside. The 10,000 m² plot borders a lake, and the private swimming pool is positioned to look out across the water and the surrounding hills. Expansive terraces and outdoor dining areas sit beside the pool and gardens. Managing a plot of a full hectare requires regular groundskeeping, which the on-site staff quarters help to support, while the sheer scale of the land leaves wide scope for a buyer to redesign the landscaping.
Scope for renovation and hospitality use
This 8 bedroom finca - cortijo in Cancelada is sold as a resale property with its traditional Andalusian character intact, ready for a scheduled renovation and landscaping programme if a buyer wants contemporary fittings. The combination of eight bedrooms, privacy, and the existing tourist rental licence suits a boutique bed and breakfast or hospitality project. Any buyer considering commercial events, retreats, or weddings on the grounds will need to verify and apply for the specific municipal permissions and activity licences required for those uses.
Rural setting near the golf valley
Although the grounds feel rural and secluded, the estate lies close to the Villa Padierna Palace Hotel and the surrounding golf valley, which includes Los Flamingos Golf, Alferini Golf, and Tramores Golf. That position gives a buyer or guest rural quiet beside the lake while keeping established golf courses and coastal amenities within reach.

Yes, the property holds an existing tourist rental licence.

Property Description
Villa Dos Aguas
Occupying an exceptional lakeside setting surrounded by the Andalusian landscape, Villa Dos Aguas is a remarkable Spanish cortijo combining authentic character, complete privacy and outstanding potential for both residential and commercial use.
Beyond its appeal as a private residence, Villa Dos Aguas represents a particularly interesting investment opportunity. Its eight-bedroom configuration, extensive grounds, privacy and existing tourist rental licence make the estate especially well suited to a boutique bed & breakfast or hospitality concept. Equally, its distinctive Andalusian architecture, picturesque courtyard, gardens and lakeside backdrop could make it an exceptional setting for high-end private events, weddings, retreats and exclusive celebrations, subject to obtaining any additional licences and permissions required for the intended activity.
Set within more than 10,000 m² of mature gardens, the estate immediately captures the essence of traditional Andalusian living. Its distinctive architecture is centred around a beautiful interior courtyard, while established vegetation and extensive grounds create a peaceful and secluded environment rarely found within such easy reach of the coast.
A private driveway winds through the gardens towards the main residence, which has been thoughtfully arranged predominantly across a single level. The property offers eight generously sized bedrooms, six of which open directly onto the central courtyard, creating a wonderful connection between the different areas of the home.
Throughout the residence, a collection of living and dining spaces showcases the warmth and personality of a traditional Spanish cortijo. Original architectural details, rustic finishes and a characterful country-style kitchen have been carefully preserved, giving the property an authenticity that would be difficult to recreate today.
While already impressive in its current form, Villa Dos Aguas presents an exceptional opportunity for a new owner to introduce a more contemporary level of luxury while respecting the estate's original Andalusian identity. With the right renovation and landscaping programme, the property has the foundations to become a truly outstanding country estate.
The outdoor areas are one of the property's defining features. The swimming pool enjoys beautiful open views across the lake and surrounding hills, complemented by expansive terraces, outdoor dining spaces and extensive gardens. The scale of the grounds provides enormous scope for creating additional landscaped areas, entertainment spaces and lifestyle amenities.
Independent staff accommodation further supports both private and hospitality-oriented use of the estate.
Despite its peaceful countryside atmosphere, the property remains conveniently positioned just minutes from the prestigious Villa Padierna Palace Hotel and the surrounding golf valley, including Los Flamingos Golf, Alferini Golf and Tramores Golf. This combination of natural surroundings, accessibility and proximity to some of the Costa del Sol's most established luxury destinations adds considerably to its appeal.
Villa Dos Aguas is much more than a traditional country home. It is a property with the scale, character and versatility to be transformed into a spectacular private estate or developed into a distinctive hospitality and events destination.
A rare opportunity for an investor or private buyer looking to acquire an authentic Andalusian property with substantial grounds, a privileged natural setting and significant potential for further enhancement.
