We’re thrilled to present to you the 11th edition of our Rural Luxury Gem series! Each property we highlight in this series has its own story, its own soul, and a certain spark that makes it truly special. And this month’s gem, nestled in the rolling green hills of Casares, may just be one of the cosiest and most soulful of them all. So, don’t wait any longer, and find out why this charming finca could be your perfect Andalusian dream house.
A Setting Out of a Postcard
This charming finca is tucked away in the breathtaking hills of Casares. This is a place where time slows down and the views do all the talking. Surrounded by ancient oak trees and lush greenery, the property offers panoramic vistas stretching across the valley, to the Rock of Gibraltar, and even the distant peaks of Africa. Though it feels wonderfully remote, the location is surprisingly well-connected:
- Just 7 minutes from the white village of Casares
- Under 10 minutes to the beach
- 15 minutes to Estepona and several golf resorts
- 1 hour to Málaga Airport
This finca is truly a postcard-perfect slice of Andalusian countryside, but with comfort, access, and style.
Traditional Soul with a Modern Heart
When the owners found this charming finca, it already had soul. But it needed care in the form of an update that would honour its rustic charm while gently pulling it into the present. So a full renovation with exactly that intention has been carried out.
Step inside and you immediately sense the harmony. The wood burner crackling in the living room, the earthy tones of the terracotta floors, the beams overhead, it all feels authentic. But then you notice what sets this home apart: floor-to-ceiling glass sliding doors that let in the light, underfloor heating, solar panels, a modern heat pump, and even fiber optic internet. It’s a perfect example of what we like to call traditional soul, modern heart.
This thoughtful renovation preserved the finca’s traditional stone walls, warm tones, and rustic character, while ensuring it’s move-in ready and future-proof. Living here means enjoying a classic Andalusian feel without sacrificing the comforts of modern life.
Independent Guest House with Private Terrace
Just a few steps away, through a path that winds gently down the hill, you’ll find the guest house, or casita, as it’s affectionately known. And what a lovely surprise it is.
This separate space feels completely private, ideal for visitors who want their own corner of paradise. It comes fully equipped with a kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, and its own terrace, where the views stretch endlessly across the mountains. It even has underfloor heating and the same quiet charm as the main house.
Best of all? This charming finca has a rental license, meaning this casita isn’t just for guests, it’s ready for income too. Whether you’re thinking of a boutique retreat or just hosting friends and family, the possibilities are wide open.
Andalusian Outdoor Living
This charming finca in Casares embraces what Andalusia does best: outdoor living. The terraces wrap around the house, both covered and open, giving you spaces to dine, rest, read, and watch the world go by. In summer, the wisteria vines provide shade and fragrance. In the cooler months, the warm sun fills the patio with golden light.
Just below, a saltwater pool seems to float above the valley. It faces west, meaning the sunsets here are nothing short of spectacular. And for those who love to grow their own food, this finca delivers more than most: a well-tended vegetable garden and over 25 mature fruit trees, from mangoes to lemons, figs to pomegranates.
It’s the kind of place where your days find their own rhythm: morning coffee under the trees, a swim after lunch, a glass of wine at dusk. And always, that view.
