This beautiful house is a magnificent example of Andalusian architecture stunningly reinterpreted for modern living. South facing with views over Almenara golf course, the property sits on a huge plot in the quietest and most private and prestigious street in Sotogrande Alto.

Perfectly distributed, the main house has a superb master bedroom suite of 75m2; four other large, comfortable en-suite family bedrooms; and separate large staff accommodation area with its own entrance. Cortijo el Olivo further benefits from a one bedroom guest house with ensuite bedroom and living room, and another separate guest bedroom garden suite.

The essence of Andalusia immediately surrounds you as you enter into the property past high walls and into the prettiest of courtyards full of ancient olive trees, various fruit trees and flowers surrounding a water fountain. From here the guest house is to the right, and the main house is straight in front of you.

Cortijo el Olivio is designed for entertaining on a grand scale, with a large formal living room (including an open natural fireplace) with double height ceilings, leading onto covered and uncovered terraces, and adjoining a brilliantly atmospheric bar and music area. The terraces have a dining table which can comfortably seat 12 people, together with multiple comfortable seating areas and a drop down projector screen for those warm summer nights.

The kitchen is a masterpiece in quality and comfort with its own large family TV area and a dining room in open plan, looking over a pretty water featured patio and leading out to a big terrace and garden. The kitchen itself has the highest quality modern appliances with multiple cooking and refrigeration options.

On the lower floor there is one of Sotogrande's finest leisure complexes, bathed in natural light and comprising a spectacular 16.5m indoor salt water swimming pool, sauna, steam room and fully equipped 42m2 gym. And the large superbly landscaped garden, which stretch down to the golf course, has a huge free-form infinity salt water swimming pool (adjacent to the indoor leisure complex) with adjoining covered terrace incorporating a bar and outside TV seating area and overlooking the padel court.

The property has been superbly decorated by the famous interior designer, Luisa Olazabal, and is sold fully furnished except for some personal belongings and selected artwork. This is a quite outstanding property and indeed one of the very best ever presented in Sotogrande - an Andalusian dream.
