Property Description

TRANQUIL FINCA, CLOSE TO THE ISTAN LAKE

With glorious mountain views and a glimpse of the lake, the architect designed house stands in 2 acres of wild gardens, within a terraced orchard of olive, almond and fruit trees. It is situated halfway between Istán and Marbella, above the lake ( Embalse de La Concepción) and below the carretera de Istán.

The private and tranquil finca is reached via the scenic winding mountain road and an unmade private road. A steep drive brings you into the wonderfully untamed garden, bright with wild flowers in spring and home to 200 olive, fruit and almond trees. Informal footpaths twist and turn through the grounds to the private pool with poolside bar.

Some 100 metres from the cottage, a track from the house leads to the shore of the lake, which is visible from the bedrooms and higher terraces. Inside, La Palmera has a country style kitchen/dining room with access to one of the outside terraces for outside dining, a sitting room with an open fire and large French windows, which lead out onto the south facing terrace. A large shower room is also provided on this floor.

A spiral staircase leads to the upper floor with three bedrooms tastefully furnished in cool colours. The master bedroom has a double bed and en-suite bathroom, and a full suite bathroom for the other two bedrooms, one twin, one double. To the front and back of the house are large paved terraces. A few metres away in the garden there is a guest house containing a fourth bedroom with two double bunk beds. The house has TV and is fully equipped for holiday rentals with no shared facilities.

OUTSIDE: open upper terrace and covered lower terrace; garden bedroom house with two double bunk beds; swimming pool (semicircle 7 x 4m) and wet bar with fridge; fruit orchard.

STAFF: two gardeners (also all house and pool maintenance) €12 per hour; two maids €11 per hour - all from Istán, with mobile phones, bank accounts for money transfers and cars.

Note: A kayak is available for use on the lake by private arrangement with the owners.
