Property Description
This holiday property has been built in traditional Andalucian style, nestling amongst olives, almonds and carobs on four acres of rugged hillside in Andalucia. It is a lovely comfortable home, wonderfully spacious, yet with an intimate feel.
It is only a kilometre from the village of Gaucin, and its sheltered location combines peace and privacy with stunning views to the distant mountains of North Africa.
The property is bright and sunny in the summer and, with its cosy wood burning stove, a perfect winter holiday hideaway.

Local Information
Finca de la Fuente makes an ideal base for day trips to the beautiful cities of Ronda, Jerez, Cadiz, Seville and the Atlantic Coast. All of these cities have much historical and architectural interest as well as having fabulous shopping and fine restaurants. Ronda has a famous gorge and also has the oldest Bullring in Spain.
Gaucin, the nearby village, is a spectacular, unspoilt white village with many food shops, a chemist, bank, bars, four restaurants and two tennis courts. Throughout the year Gaucin has many fascinating fiestas, traditional Saint days and the ‘Semana-Santa’ (holy week) processions. In August Gaucin celebrates its ‘Feria’ with a fairground and dancing.
Overlooking the village are the ruins of a Moorish castle, which has incomparable views over to the Mediterranean Coast, North Africa and Gibraltor. This area is a paradise for walking, exploring, horse-riding and bird watching. A few kilometres down the valley is the river Genal, and this is a good spot for fishing, swimming, diving and exploring.
The Mediterranean beaches are about a thirty minute drive away, while the Atlantic coast, with its fine white sand and famous wind surfing is one and a half hours drive away.
Activities nearby include: Beaches and the resorts of the Costa del Sol, 26 kms * The Atlantic beaches, about one and half hours drive * Restaurants and bars within walking distance * Golf courses, about 30 mins drive * Ronda, about 1 hours drive

Next to the main house is the original bread oven and beyond that is a charming small stone house. This has a small double bed and is an ideal spot for a siesta.
The beautiful large pool, with a depths of 1.4- 2.7 metres, has been cleverly terraced to provide both natural shade and full sun all day long. The pool measures 12.5 x 5 metres and is fitted with underwater lighting, a great feature for all ages.
You will find plenty of deck chairs and patio furniture around the pool, as well as two hammocks between two olive trees.
There is also a further terrace with a Table Tennis table. The Tennis courts in Gaucin are free and available on a first come first served basis. Tennis rackets are provided, albeit not to Nadal’s standards!
There are a couple of acres of private countryside to roam about with rock formations, rugged terraces and even a variety of trees to climb. A natural adventure playground for children of all ages.
Please note that the one kilometre track to the house is quite steep in places, and a 4WD vehicle is recommended, especially during the winter months.
