This breathtaking country estate in the heart of the polo area of Sotogrande, Andalusia, is a chance for all the horse lovers out there to make their dreams come true. The large plot of land that comes with the house gives you the possibility to keep your own horses and even create your own private training field. The area is known for many polo teams with Ayala and Santa Maria, and many polo clubs are just a stone's throw away.

The property is only 20 km away from the beautiful peninsula of Gibraltar and 100 km from Malaga, which means that you will have the airport and stations with high-speed trains near your home, making this an ideal holiday home in the romantic region of Andalusia.

Enjoy your breakfast with some very Spanish views

This amazing property dates back to 1813, but it was rebuilt and designed in the 80s. The property has over 1000 m2 (10,000 sq ft) of built land and a typical, idyllic Andalusian courtyard with a palm tree. When entering from the courtyard you will find a large office at the entrance, a garage that fits 4 cars, laundry area, storage rooms, the possibility for a staff room, an extensive covered outside kitchen, BBQ area, large kitchen with a dining room, and a living room with a fire place. The 4 individual bedroom suites and a large master bedroom suite can be found on the first floor. As a bonus, the house comes with a 137 m2 (1,500 sq ft) guesthouse with 3 bedrooms and storage sheds.

The property also has a beautiful old Andalusian style, with handcrafted ceramic tiles, beamed ceilings and a garden with amazing views, terraces, shady hideaways, luscious lawn and your very own private pool, where you can relax during the hottest days of the Spanish summer.

Andalucia is known as the most "Spanish" province in Spain, being home to the roots of flamenco dancing and music, traditional fiestas, amazing dishes and of course, a lot of horses (and even horse related events!). Start your Andalusian life in this house that is characterised by the magnificence of the Andalusian Moorish Cortijo style, with its ornaments, vaults, archways, ceramic tiles and wooden ceilings. The estate also includes 6 stables for horses, so you will definitely fit right in!
