Cortijo del Moro is being sold with its 3 resident horses and 2 donkeys
El Cortijo del Moro is set in 69 acres of lush grounds, nestled on the banks of the Río Guadiaro at the base of the Sierra de Grazalema mountains in Andalusia, Spain.
The country estate is being sold along with three horses and two charming donkeys, and comes with vegetable gardens, a palm grove, a chicken coop, and a fenced area with horse shelter.
Originally built on the site of a Roman villa dating back to the first century, Cortijo del Moro has a rich and storied past.
The ruins of a Roman "columbarium" still stand next to the house, serving as a reminder of the property's ancient origins.
The cortijo, a traditional farmhouse found in the southern region of Spain, has been transformed into a luxurious retreat that seamlessly blends modern comforts with Andalusian charm.
The villa features interiors by the late, award-winning Portuguese designer Duarte Pinto Coelho, known for his work on the Finca Cortesin hotel, consistently ranked as one of the top resorts in Europe.

The distinguished decorator was famous in his adopted homeland of Spain and abroad, and was known to rub shoulders with high society friends with Coco Chanel, Dali, and even decorated the pre-wedding celebrations of the current King and Queen of Spain.

The elegantly appointed living spaces feature authentic beamed ceilings and large windows that offer stunning views of the surrounding mountains.
The heart of Cortijo del Moro is its traditional Spanish patio, around which the villa is built.
This spacious home offers four bedrooms and five bathrooms, including a luxurious master suite on the ground level that opens onto a private Mediterranean garden.
Completed in 2008, the restoration upgraded the property with modern luxuries such as underfloor heating and a gourmet kitchen with top-of-the-line Miele and Gaggenau appliances.
El Cortijo del Moro also boasts a wine cellar, and a spa area complete with a gym, Turkish bath, and jacuzzi.
Outside, the heated swimming pool features a counter-current swimming system, surrounded by landscaped gardens with automatic irrigation.
Conveniently located near Andalusia's famous white villages, this luxurious cortijo is also just a three-minute drive from the Cortes de la Frontera railway station, and within easy reach of the historical town of Ronda and Gibraltar International Airport.
