Description
An enchanting Cortijo set in the countryside of Estepona, a tranquil location and yet only a 5 minute drive to the beach and town. This charming Cortijo was originally a water mill and has a long, rich and fascinating history. Originally constructed by the Moors, it was seized as a war prize by the Catholic Kings Ferdinand and Isabela in 1485. The watermill remained active and changed hands multiple times after being gifted to Fernando Pérez, a loyal knight. The history of the El Molino is a testament to the enduring legacy of Moorish and Spanish influence on the region.
Now used as a private residence, the property has 9 bedrooms, all with ensuite bathrooms and has great potential to be exploited for commercial purposes such as a boutique hotel. Set in a generous 6000m plot, it is easy to become immersed in the peaceful tranquility of the countryside. Many of the original features have been lovingly maintained and create a wonderful atmosphere in this historical property. Authenticity and character are the two words that spring to mind when exploring this wonderful property. If you are looking for modern contemporary, then this is NOT the place for you. This is a rustic property, full of charm and character, waiting for the right person to realize the potential of this historic property.
