Andalusian Country House
Gaucín, Málaga Province, Spain

2 Bedrooms, 1 Bathroom | 2,000 sq m mountainside plot

Ref: AM28052025

Occupying an extraordinary position high above the Genal Valley, this traditional Andalusian country house is set within 2,000 square metres of land on the outskirts of the celebrated whitewashed village of Gaucín. The house offers sweeping views across untamed mountains towards Gibraltar and, on clear days, the distant coastline of Morocco — a truly panoramic outlook that shifts with the light and seasons.

Defined by its quiet simplicity and honest materials, the house has been built in the local vernacular: whitewashed walls, tiled floors, exposed beams and a chimney hearth all lend it warmth and character. Inside, an open-plan kitchen and living area form the heart of the home, arranged for relaxed, sociable living. There are two bedrooms and a shower room, all with views to the surrounding hillsides.

A deep, covered terrace runs along the front of the house, providing shade in summer and space to dine outdoors while taking in the uninterrupted landscape. To one side, a private swimming pool is set into a flat lawned area, bordered by a stone-built bar and dining space – a natural gathering point during long, sun-drenched days.

The land rises above the house in terraced levels, planted with mature olive and oak trees, as well as citrus and other fruit trees. An old stone bread oven remains intact – a nod to the property’s rural past. Though there are neighbouring fincas along the surrounding tracks, the overall atmosphere is one of peace, space and elemental beauty.

Located a short drive from Gaucín – a village beloved for its artistic community, cultural life and connection to nature – the house offers a rare opportunity to live in deep relationship with the land, in a place that feels both rooted and remote.

Setting
The house sits in wild, mountainous countryside, accessible via a track just outside Gaucín. From here, the coast is around 30 minutes away, while Málaga is 90 minutes away and Gibraltar airport is  reachable in around 45 minutes by car. Gaucín itself offers restaurants, galleries, and shops, with a strong year-round community.
