This exceptional estate offers a unique combination of privacy, nature and authentic Andalusian character, located just minutes from the historic city of Ronda and alongside the Sierra de las Nieves National Park. Set at approximately 723 metres above sea level, the property occupies a private 10,000 m² plot surrounded by olive groves, established gardens, palm trees, citrus trees and the natural landscape of the Ronda hills. The estate is situated within a discreet and secure setting, ideal for those seeking peace and privacy while remaining close to one of Andalusia’s most distinctive historic cities.

The villa offers approximately 350 m² of living space arranged over 2 floors and combines the charm of Andalusian architecture with an elegant and understated aesthetic.

The interiors have been carefully designed with a refined selection of furnishings and materials, complemented by large windows that create a natural connection between the interior spaces and the gardens. The upper floor also features a spacious living room with a dedicated work area, smart TV and private balcony overlooking the Sierra.

Outdoor living is one of the defining features of La Almunia. The extensive private grounds include a 14 x 5 metre swimming pool supplied with fresh spring water from the estate’s own 95-metre-deep well. Beside the pool, a private pebble beach creates an unusual and distinctive feature in the Ronda mountains, bringing a subtle sense of a seaside retreat to the heart of the countryside. The property also includes a garden pavilion surrounded by palms and citrus trees, together with an Ibiza-style summer kitchen equipped with a grill, refrigerator and kitchen island, providing a selection of inviting spaces for outdoor living throughout the year.

The 4 suites, named after some of Andalusia’s most emblematic cities — Ronda, Seville, Córdoba and Granada — have been designed with comfort and privacy in mind. The principal suite features a 200 cm bed, dressing room and en-suite bathroom, while the remaining bedrooms offer different views across the gardens and mountains. All bedrooms are equipped with air conditioning, fibre-optic Wi-Fi, Sonos sound systems, USB-C connections, organic cotton bed linen and quality mattresses.

The location combines the tranquillity of the Andalusian countryside with convenient access to Ronda and some of southern Spain’s most renowned destinations. The historic centre of Ronda is just 6 minutes away by car, while Málaga Airport can be reached in approximately 1 hour and 25 minutes. Marbella is approximately 1 hour and 5 minutes away, Seville around 1 hour and 45 minutes, Córdoba approximately 2 hours, and Granada and the Alhambra around 2 hours and 15 minutes. The Atlantic coast and Tarifa are approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes away, while Gibraltar provides another attractive option for a 1-day trip.

The surrounding landscape offers numerous opportunities to enjoy nature and outdoor activities. The estate lies alongside the Sierra de las Nieves National Park, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve offering a variety of hiking routes, including trails towards Pico Torrecilla at 1,919 metres. The nearby Caminito del Rey provides another of Andalusia’s most spectacular natural experiences, while the hills around Ronda can be explored on horseback, offering a different perspective of the surrounding countryside. Approximately 20 minutes away are also the ruins of Acinipo, an ancient Roman city featuring a remarkable theatre.

The property also offers the possibility of combining private use with an established premium holiday rental operation. It holds a tourist licence and is currently marketed as a premium holiday residence for up to 8 adults and 2 children. The estate benefits from a direct booking system and an established management structure, allowing a future owner to enjoy the property privately while maintaining a rental operation during the rest of the year.

The estate also includes its own olive grove, producing organic extra virgin olive oil of the Hojiblanca variety under the “The Godfather of Pure Olive Oil” brand. The stated production is approximately 300 litres per year, with the oil marketed in Switzerland, adding another distinctive dimension to the identity and character of the property. The transaction also includes the La Almunia brand, its digital presence and booking channels.

La Almunia therefore represents a distinctive opportunity for those seeking a private estate with its own character in one of Andalusia’s most appealing settings. A property designed to embrace nature, privacy and the lifestyle of the Ronda mountains, combining extensive gardens, carefully considered outdoor spaces, a comfortable villa and a location that provides easy access to the region’s principal cultural and natural attractions, as well as the Costa del Sol and its international connections.
