Whatever You Want - Gaucin, Malaga..

This stunning finca occupies a spectacular location in Parque Naturale de Crestellina with 360 degree views over one of the most wonderful landscapes in the world. Gibraltar and Morocco are visible 20 kilometres to the south.

Peaceful, tranquil and with wonderful dark night skies, yet only 20 minutes drive from all the facilities of the Costa, 30 minutes from Gibraltar, and only one hour via the motorway from Malaga International Airport.

2.5 hectares (25,000 m2, 6 acres) of which 2 hectares (5 acres) is natural campo but fenced and with piped water, and 1 acre is landscaped as an ornamental garden and a vegetable garden, both of which are enclosed and with fully automated irrigation systems. There are two large graveled parking areas.

450 m2 built in traditional Andaluz style, but to the highest modern standard designed to be cool in summer and warm in winter (extra thick insulated walls, double glazing with integral internal window shutters, ceiling fans in all main rooms)
