Townhouse for rent in Andalucia, rural, Costa del Sol, Gaucin

view from sun terrace	reception
master bedroom	swimming pool

This exceptional property is a fine example of a successful conversion from a working wine press to a stunning home, offering ample space for living, relaxing, playing, dining, swimming and working, if needed. The views are far reaching from the terrace, the intimate spaces, either in full sun or dappled shade, invite to relax. A great place for a family with children or a couple luxuriating in this historic building full of character, original features and great design.
This historic mill is arranged around a central, open courtyard.
The press in the back room was for pressing grapes to make “mosto”, a rough wine, for the monastery that used to exist on the site of the Convento. The front rooms were a shop for “aguardiente” a local spirit . The Molino was previously owned by the “Contessa”, as she was known locally and then by a Cuban exile before the current owners bought the building seven years ago. The entrance hall leads to your right into a spacious dining room, or to the kitchen straight ahead of you. The kitchen is well equipped, with all a keen cook may want.
The master bedroom is spacious with an open pitched ceiling and en-suite bathroom. A large dressing room which faces the terrace, is alongside this bedroom, with a bed for under 5's,
2 further bedrooms share a full bathroom, one with a small double bed, the other with two singles beds.
The central courtyard reminds one of the Ryhads in Morocco, a very private, open-air space with a large dining table and flowering shrubs. The dining room is large enough to seat 10, with an eclectic library to suit all tastes. The reception is alongside the dining room, facing the open courtyard. Down and along another corridor is a further toilet and beyond the spacious living room, cool in summer and full of history with beautiful beams, and an amazing large open fireplace.
As the property is built around a central courtyard, and set on several different levels, most new visitors comment that it is "much larger than the photos show!" Children love being here, this ancient mill is a great place to play hide and seek, with all its different rooms, corridors, garden and patios.
The outside garden-patio is cobbled and private, with a lovely tree for shade. The swimming pool is partly walled in, ample for a swim with a good depth.
The garage is across the road, please ask for details.
