Traditional Andalusian Cortijo with Equestrian Facilities, Olive Grove & Business Potential – Bobadilla, Antequera Finca – Cortijo, Bobadilla, Antequera, Málaga 8 Bedrooms | 6 Bathrooms | Built 1,000 m² | Plot 110,000 m² Property Description A truly unique opportunity to acquire a substantial and very traditional 8-bedroom Andalusian Cortijo, set within approximately 110,000 m² of private rural land in a peaceful and secluded location close to Bobadilla and Antequera. Situated in the heart of Andalusia – “el corazón de Andalucía” – the property enjoys a tranquil countryside setting while remaining exceptionally well connected. Antequera is approximately a 15-minute drive away, while the nearby high-speed railway provides connections to Málaga in around 25 minutes and Madrid in approximately 2 hours, making this an ideal location for international access. The property would make an exceptional family residence, equestrian centre, retreat, wellness venue or other rural tourism/business venture. It has previously been operated as a successful rental property for approximately 10 years and has also been used for Body Awareness courses, meditation sessions and clinics. Traditional Entrance & Courtyard Access to the Cortijo is via a short private lane lined with olive trees, leading through large double gates into a beautiful traditional cobbled Andalusian courtyard. The generous courtyard provides extensive private parking and forms an impressive entrance to the main house. Leading from the courtyard is the property's “Sanctuary Garden”, an established area previously used for meditation and Body Awareness sessions, offering a peaceful environment surrounded by nature. Spacious Traditional Interior The kitchen is the heart of the home and is particularly impressive. Large, bright and full of traditional character, it features exposed wooden beams, marble flooring, traditional Andalusian tiled walls and a log burner. A separate walk-in pantry and wine store provide excellent additional storage. The current owners have created a substantial working catering kitchen, equipped with: Built-in deep-fat fryer Electric hobs Gas burners Traditional-style units with Moroccan fretwork Granite worktops Double sink Breakfast bar From the kitchen, one doorway leads towards the rear gardens and another connects with a comfortable snug and dining area. Throughout the Cortijo, the rooms are exceptionally spacious and filled with natural light. Despite the generous proportions, the property remains pleasantly cool during the hotter summer months. Original wooden beams are found throughout, together with a combination of quality natural slate, marble, traditional tiled and terracotta flooring. Numerous retro-style radiators are also installed. These are not currently in use but could potentially be reconnected to a gas supply. Bedrooms & Accommodation The ground floor includes a guest bedroom with en-suite bathroom, original tiled flooring and its own log burner. An impressive staircase rises from the dining room to the first floor, where there is an en-suite bedroom with excellent storage. This bedroom leads through to a further bedroom with access to a terrace overlooking the exterior of the property. Another first-floor bedroom benefits from two attractive Juliet balconies, enjoying views across the beautiful grounds. The property also includes a separate guest accommodation area, comprising: 4 bedrooms 2 bathrooms Kitchen There is also a laundry room and separate toilet. Moroccan-Inspired Garden & Pool From the kitchen, the rear of the property opens onto a remarkable Moroccan-inspired hideaway garden, surrounded by established shrubs, mature planting and carefully maintained topiary hedging. This peaceful and private garden creates a wonderful Hammam-style atmosphere and includes a cold plunge pool with dome, providing a unique spa-like feature. The main swimming pool measures approximately 10 x 4 metres and is surrounded by mature laurel bushes, fig trees and grapevines. A second large terrace retains its original old terracotta tiles, creating a wonderfully authentic Spanish outdoor living area. This terrace can also be accessed from the ground-floor bedroom. Extensive Grounds & Olive Plantation The approximately 110,000 m² plot offers an exceptional combination of privacy, agricultural land, gardens and equestrian facilities. The grounds contain a wide variety of mature trees and plants, including: Approximately 1,300 productive olive trees Cacti Fig trees Almond trees Citrus trees Apple trees Pear trees Approximately 20 acres of the land is fenced, allowing horses to be turned out together as a herd and providing an additional level of privacy to the property. Extensive Equestrian Facilities The equestrian facilities are a major feature of this exceptional estate and offer an extensive range of facilities suitable for serious equestrian use. The property includes: 2 large barns Numerous stables of varying sizes Dedicated equestrian office Sand school 15-metre round pen Multiple groundwork areas Isolation areas 20 x 60 metre dressage arena Areas suitable for seeding Large tack room Workshop Groom accommodation Additional animal areas, including an area previously used for pigs The combination of the extensive land, private turnout areas and professional equestrian infrastructure makes this a particularly interesting property for riders, trainers or equestrian businesses. Business Potential The Cortijo offers considerable potential for a variety of uses. It has previously been rented for approximately 10 years and has been used for courses, clinics, meditation and Body Awareness sessions. With its combination of extensive accommodation, private grounds, swimming pool, gardens and equestrian facilities, the property could potentially be developed into a highly successful: Equestrian centre Riding and training facility Wellness or retreat centre Course or clinic venue Rural tourism business Multi-generational family estate Private country residence The property benefits from a full open OCA licence. Condition The Cortijo is currently in generally good/fair condition but requires updating, maintenance and some reforms.
