Opis:

My colleague described this enormous (525 m2), superbly restored and impeccably maintained country home as "A Finca fit for a King, or a Duke of Osuna at the very least!" and who am I to argue? This gem of property is quite simply stunning!

The imposing house sits high above historic, full service, Osuna, just 10 minutes from the town with stunning views all around.

The grounds are as extensive as you would expect as the property comes with 42,000 m2 of gardens, with olive groves, patios, a vegetable garden and sunny and covered terraces. The views from everywhere are a delight but on the top terrace they are genuinely 360 degrees.

Access to the property is through the old iron gates and these lead onto the original stone circle courtyard totally intact with low walls surrounding it. A rare find in Andalucia these days.

The house itself is accessed via imposing glass doors but the feel is homely and relaxed whilst the lovely decor and furnishings show how loved this property is. This is a home not a museum piece even though so many original features, including the wood beamed ceilings, have been maintained!

From the front door you enter into the Hall with stunning archways. A study is on the right, featuring the stunning original fireplace canopy, with wood burning stove. The windows to the front of the house are shuttered for those hot Andalucian afternoons or cosy winter evenings.

A warm cosy relaxing lounge is to the left of the archways, featuring a a wood burning stove, and glazed door leading into the conservatory.

On the right hand side of the hall is the cloakroom and lavatory, fitted out to the high specification you would expect from such a property.

The old stone archways lead you through to the hub of the home, the massive beamed kitchen, which is double height with two shuttered windows and one single glazed and shuttered door overlooking the back garden. This opens up to another snug area perfect to sit and chat while making lunch.

Double doors (glazed) lead from the kitchen into the dining conservatory looking towards the pool area, with covered terraces to the left running the length of the house.

From here a solid wooden door leads into the second private suite with massive double-height formal vaulted-ceiling lounge with mezzanine bedroom with en-suite, and private terrace. Another door leads to the porch and 11m swimming pool in the garden (more about those later) and private terrace.

Back in the conservatory, double glazed doors lead into a beautiful small open patio, with fixed stone dining table. Large original antique wooden doors lead out to the front of the property and stone courtyard.

A metal gate at the bottom of a staircase leads up to the tower and upstairs terrace, with 360º views perfect for star spotting.

A solid wooden door leads into the third bedroom suite - perfectly houses a larger bedroom, en-suite shower-room and kitchenette again it has its own private terrace with views of the large olive grove.

There are double glazed doors with view to the side of the house and terrace, door leads back into the enclosed courtyard.

Back in the entrance hall, stairs lead upstairs to the huge master suite occupying the whole of the first floor. The suite comprises a very spacious bedroom with full length fitted wardrobes, an office and lounge and dressing area together with large marble bathroom. This could be a separate private apartment on its own, and the views towards Osuna are a delightful treat, as is the stone work in this suite where huge archways adorn the walls, shuttered windows overlook the patio, Osuna in the distance and the olive groves.
