Description Set in the mountains of Málaga province, twenty minutes from Ronda and bordering the Sierra de las Nieves Natural Park, this fully renovated cortijo estate pairs a beautifully restored Andalusian main house with more than 161 hectares of productive countryside. At around 750 metres above sea level, the estate enjoys open valley and mountain views, complete privacy, and easy access to Marbella, Málaga and the Costa del Sol — all within about an hour's drive. Property Overview Arranged around a classic Andalusian courtyard shaded by a mature carob tree, the cortijo has been carefully renovated while retaining original details such as wooden doors, terracotta floors, hand-painted tiles and exposed beamed ceilings. The main house extends to 321 m² and offers an entrance hall, a large living room with fireplace, a separate dining room, a fully equipped kitchen, and five bedrooms — including a master suite with en-suite bathroom on the upper floor. French doors open onto a covered terrace overlooking the countryside, with steps leading down to a 12 x 4.5 m swimming pool and shaded sun terraces. Guest and staff accommodation is equally generous: two independent two-bedroom guest houses each with their own kitchen and living area, a separate four-bedroom staff house, and a large multipurpose room currently used for gatherings and events — making the estate as suited to entertaining as it is to full-time living. Equestrian Facilities & Riding Potential Formerly run as a horse breeding farm for up to 80 horses, the estate retains an impressive range of equestrian infrastructure: a large stable block, a dedicated foaling area, machinery rooms, field shelters and a 40 x 20 m sand riding arena, currently in need of restoration. Numerous trails cross the property and connect directly into the Sierra de las Nieves Natural Park, making this one of the more compelling equestrian estates for sale in the Ronda area for buyers looking to re-establish a serious riding or breeding operation. Land, Olive Grove & Agricultural Income Of the estate's 161+ hectares, around 60 hectares are cultivable fields currently producing hay, oats, wheat and peas, while a 6-hectare grove of Hojiblanca olive trees yields approximately 20,000 kg of olives — around 4,000 kg of olive oil — each year. The farmland also qualifies for approximately €15,000 in annual agricultural subsidies. The remainder of the estate is fully fenced woodland and open countryside, home to wild boar, deer and Spanish ibex. Water, Services & Infrastructure The estate has its own water supply from a natural spring and a stream, in addition to mains electricity and Wi-Fi. All houses are centrally heated via a diesel boiler, and the whole property is fully fenced — combining genuine self-sufficiency with everyday comfort. Location — Ronda & the Sierra de las Nieves Just 20 minutes from Ronda and close to the villages of El Burgo and Yunquera, the estate borders the Sierra de las Nieves Natural Park — one of Andalusia's most protected and scenic landscapes. Despite its rural seclusion, Marbella and Málaga are around an hour away by car, with Málaga–Costa del Sol Airport providing straightforward international access. A rare combination of scale, infrastructure and natural beauty, this versatile cortijo estate suits equestrian use, agriculture, hospitality or simply life as a private country retreat within easy reach of Ronda and the Costa del Sol.
