Historic Andalusian Posada | Luxury Country Inn & Hospitality Estate

Dating back to 1852, this exceptional Andalusian estate began life as a traditional posada and historic grain mill before being lovingly transformed into an elegant rural hospitality retreat. Set within the picturesque Guadalhorce Valley, surrounded by rolling hills, mountain scenery and charming whitewashed villages, the property combines authentic Spanish heritage with modern luxury.

Located approximately 35 minutes from Málaga International Airport and the Costa del Sol beaches, the estate offers tranquillity and privacy while remaining conveniently connected to Málaga, Marbella and the wider region.

Officially registered as a Superior Category Casa Rural, the property accommodates up to twelve guests across six individually designed suites and benefits from a municipal operating licence for a Casa Rural con Mesón, permitting rural accommodation and restaurant operations.

Set on approximately 5,700 m² of land, including 2,000 m² of landscaped gardens, the estate features a spectacular 10 x 6 metre swimming pool with integrated jacuzzi, spacious terraces, Mediterranean planting and panoramic mountain views. Traditional materials, including antique timber beams, handcrafted terracotta floors, reclaimed bricks and solid oak doors, preserve the building’s historic character, while air conditioning, insulation, soundproofing and modern access systems provide contemporary comfort.

The interiors include a welcoming reception and lounge with a magnificent natural stone fireplace, a charming restaurant and breakfast room, and a fully equipped professional kitchen. The six guest suites feature en-suite bathrooms and air conditioning, with several offering private terraces and three enjoying their own jacuzzis. The exceptional 100 m² master suite includes a private jacuzzi, sauna, steam room, double shower, fireplace and expansive terrace with breathtaking countryside views.

A separate owner's residence provides a spacious living room, two bedrooms, a bathroom and a private garden, offering the opportunity to combine business operations with a comfortable private lifestyle.

The principal buildings are situated on land classified as Suelo Urbano No Consolidado (Residential N3). The owner has initiated the AFO procedure, and the municipality has confirmed eligibility, although formal issuance of the certificate remains pending. Completion arrangements may therefore require appropriate legal safeguards. Mortgage financing is currently unavailable, and buyers should obtain independent legal advice regarding the property's planning status and any future development potential.

Offering scope for an established country inn, destination restaurant, exclusive wellness retreat or boutique hospitality venture, this remarkable estate presents a rare opportunity to acquire a distinctive piece of Andalusian history with established tourism credentials and exceptional character.
