A renovation project on two and a half hectares near the coast

Two bedrooms, one bathroom and a living area with a fireplace make up the 100 m² built area of this 2 bedroom finca - cortijo in Casares. Of that footprint, 95 m² is usable, accompanied by a compact 5 m² terrace. The details provides the basic components of the house rather than a room-by-room floor plan, largely because the internal walls are likely to change.

Condition and scope of work

This is a resale home that needs renovation throughout. For a buyer, that means the existing layout of one bathroom between two bedrooms is a starting point rather than a fixed arrangement. Anyone viewing will need to assess the structure, services and the permissions required by Casares town hall for updating a rural building. A five-square-metre terrace is enough for a table and two chairs outside the door, though the surrounding private garden and land provide the main outdoor space.

The 25,000 m² plot and its orientation

The defining asset here is the land: a 25,000 m² plot that includes a private garden and puts considerable distance between the house and its neighbours. The building faces south, so the front of the house, the terrace and the garden receive direct sun across the middle of the day. Because the land sits high enough to clear the surrounding terrain, it holds open panoramic views over the golf courses to the Mediterranean Sea and the African coastline.

Position along the MA-8300 road

Most country properties with two and a half hectares require a long drive inland, often up unpaved tracks. This 2 bedroom finca - cortijo in Casares sits in Bahía de Casares along the MA-8300 road, 2.5 km from the beach and roughly 2 km from the Finca Cortesín hotel and golf resort. Estepona is a ten-minute drive away, and both the Casares coast and La Duquesa Marina are within easy reach by car. Essential services, schools and leisure facilities operate in the wider area, while the historic white village of Casares lies further up the same road towards the Ronda mountains.
