description

This country house was formerly a flour mill, built in the sixteenth century and now consists of owners home and three separate apartments. This charming, full of character country property has been refurbished keeping many features of the original Andalusian architecture. In the west of Granada, known as the last Nazari border, is the much sought after town of Montefrio, where you can enjoy one of the top ten best views of the world, as mentioned by the magazine National Geographic, in 2015.   The beautiful country house is located in the middle of the countryside, 6.5km from Montefrio, situated in an absolutely natural setting, full of tranquility and surrounded by silent fields of holm oaks, olive trees and pine trees, and during the night, covered with a spectacular starry sky. The property sits on a plot of 5090m2, besides a stream with waterfalls and natural pools, just 50m from the house.   The country house itself consists of a private house for the owner and three separate apartments for holiday rental. The owners' house, all of the ground floor, consists of a large hallway, a cozy living room with fireplace, a fully equipped kitchen/dining room, an en suite master bedroom, a guest bedroom followed by a study/office, and a large laundry/storage room. The 3 apartments are fully equipped. The first apartment has 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a large living room and an American kitchen with a rustic style.   The second apartment, a bit smaller, has a living room with kitchenette, a family bathroom and two double bedrooms.   The third apartment, is a beautiful cozy, all-diaphanous studio, with a unique and special charm. In front of the house there is a shared patio, with barbeque facilities and nice views overlooking the countryside and the valley. The property was completely restored to high standard, with thick walls and wood beamed ceilings.   Main electricity is available and the property has it's own well, septic tank and internet connection.   The closest airport, which is Granada airport, is a 45 minute drive.
