Description

This exceptional 375 sqm house is just a 5-minute drive from the historic centre of Ronda.
Set in a 12,000 m2 plot, it enjoys spectacular views in a totally unspoilt natural setting. The valley and surrounding mountains are classified as an unbuildable Natural Park under the current nomenclature.
Built between 2006 and 2007 by a renowned Franco-Iranian architect (Kourosh Mohsenipour), the signature of this residence is a contemporary synthesis of Mozarabic, Andalusian and French styles.
The quality of the materials and the extreme care taken in all the finishing touches give this space a rare luxury and refinement. The orientation of the entire house and each of the rooms has been designed to follow the path of the light and sun throughout the day.
The large bay window in the living room, which is visible from the entrance, sets the tone and reveals the immensity of the landscape and the exact proportion that has been sought between sky, mountain and landscape. The landscape is literally framed by the central bay window.
The first floor, from which you enter the house, comprises 3 spacious bedrooms with en suite bathrooms and large wardrobes. On the same floor is the master bedroom with its dressing room and a large bathroom opening onto a terrace and the swimming pool.
Access to the ground floor is via the vast staircase that defines the central axis of the house and characterises the ensemble.
The large living room is the architectural and functional heart of the ground floor, with a ceiling height of 7 metres. Through the immense bay window, the sky is omnipresent, as is the very large fireplace whose flue occupies the entire height of the room.
To the right of the lounge, a comfortable library/office/TV room extends the lounge into a more intimate space. To the left of the great room, the kitchen-dining room has two windows giving access to a patio and the very large terrace opposite on the ground floor.
Behind the visible part of the kitchen is a utility room where all the meals are prepared.
Behind the living room is a guest toilet and a large bedroom with bathroom on the garden level. Finally, in the rounded space created by the stairwell at the back of the living room, a large hammam and its jacuzzi with space for a massage room and another generously sized shower room are revealed as a space for relaxation and calm.
The immense outdoor terrace facing the untouched landscape is the other main attraction of this extraordinary house. However, this very spacious area also features a large ‘summer lounge’ area and a shaded dining room.
The choice of materials, including natural stone, custom-made terracotta tiles designed by renowned artists, balconies, a waterfall and floor designs on the terrace, all add a touch of sophisticated luxury. The windows and doors are all identical, with Iroko wood doors providing acoustic and thermal insulation.
The interior design reflects the same attention to detail, with every piece of furniture, lighting and fittings designed specifically for the space.
The swimming pool is a long, narrow pool measuring 17 metres long and 4 metres wide. It is set high and unoverlooked, with the sky and mountains as its only horizon.
This house can be defined as a town house in the heart of nature.
The gardens have been designed for hardy, resistant plants: lavender, rosemary, santolina, wild roses and laurel. The trees in the grounds themselves are olive and oak trees, as well as bushes of regional species.
An ingenious rainwater collection system means that the garden can be watered throughout the summer without using city water.
A large, spacious awning at the entrance to the property can accommodate 5 cars, and a system of closed gates restricts access to invited or expected guests only.

A yurt imported from Mongolia is located on the highest part of the property, providing a place for reading and meditation that can be transformed into an amazing guest room.

Located just a few minutes from the centre of Ronda, it takes 50 minutes to drive down to Marbella, 1h15 to Malaga international airport, and 40 minutes to reach Antequera train station from where you recah Madrid with the high speed train AVE in 2h30.
Seville is only 125 km away.
