Description
Welcome to your own corner of paradise! Completely private, rural cortijo set among orange groves, overlooking the village of Bedar with excellent views of the Sierra Cabrera mountain range and the Mediterranean sea.
This beautiful cortijo features numerous orange, lemon, olive and almond terraces on a two-acre site. There is also a ramped entrance through the back of the property. In the courtyard, accessed from the kitchen and sitting room, there is a traditional built-in pizza oven and barbecue: perfect to try out homemade pizza, pork ribs or barbecued trout with freshly picked lemons.
There are sofas and comfy chairs on the entrance terrace overlooking the gated pool and jacuzzi (not heated) with wonderful views back to Mojacar pueblo, the Sierra Cabrera and the sea.
Please note, access is down a steep private road not suitable for novice nervous drivers or minibuses to a private parking area where steps then lead you down to the wide entrance terrace.
