The countryside location is both beautiful yet convenient – directly accessed from a tarmaced/gravel road.

Not isolated from neighbours and just 1km from two bar/restaurants. Neighbours of different nationalities are dotted around and then two excellent bar/restaurants known as ventas are just down the road in the hamlet of Pastelero.  The ventas serve excellent home cooked food.  Traditional cuisine made from local produce.  Open during the day for menu del dia which is a three course lunch with drinks for less than €10!  Or, enjoy a BBQ outside during the summer, or sit by the big open fire during the winter and relax whilst enjoying a great meal and good wine.  Within the hamlet of Pastelero is also a bakery where you can collect bread or have it delivered.  Plus there is little convenience store where you can pick up things you need for daily life.

The vibrant small town of Villanueva de la Concepcion is only 10 minutes away by car and here you will find everything for modern day living and bus routes to Antequera and Malaga.  For its size, Villanueva de la Concepcion has an incredible amount of amenities normally associated with a big town.

Accommodation in brief includes:

Main cottage has big thick walls throughout.  A small entrance hall/boot room, one large bedroom, one large shower room, a spacious kitchen/dining room and a sitting room with French doors onto the terrace.  A laundry room is attached but accessed from outside.

Guest cottage has an entrance hall, spacious shower room, sitting room which could equally be a second bedroom (and even partitioned to make it private with a double bed, bunk beds or sofa bed), a kitchen fully fitted with units and work surfaces and a very large bedroom on the first floor.

The gardens are mature with low maintenance drought resistant plants, shrubs, trees and palm.  It is a tiered garden with paths running throughout and views down into or over the top of the garden from the terraces above (of both the main cottage and guest cottage).

Central courtyard/central terrace finished in natural stone separates the main cottage from the guest cottage and features a mature fig tree which the property is named after.  The courtyard/central terrace is also home to a summer house, laundry/utility room and seating area.

If a swimming pool is desired to comply with the current Andalucian land law; below the gardens is an open area slightly sloping that would be the perfect location to place an above ground swimming pool cut into the land with decking around it to create an infinity effect and sun bathing terrace.  From here you would take in the far reaching views towards the different mountain ranges beyond.

There are many areas around the cottages where a Jacuzzi would sit perfectly if that is desired also.

This property has been a much loved permanent home for 20 years.  This means that everything has been installed for guaranteed comfort year round and throughout the seasons.  Just a small example that everything has been considered is, there is not only the obvious such as; air-conditioning, ceiling fans, wood burning stoves etc. but there are even swing fly mosquito screens doors which is so unusual but so convenient!

Both cottages and the gardens/land have been immaculately cared for and improved over time. Modern comforts and conveniences together with a higher specification than is usual in the average Andalucian country home have been installed.  Both cottages have new roofs that are fully insulated and both cottages have new flooring that is also insulated.  Air-conditioning is installed in both cottages (cooling and heating) as are ceiling fans and fly screens.  The main house has recently been fitted with UPVC double glazing to windows and French doors and a modern wood burning stove and a fitted kitchen with granite work surface means enjoyment can be had from day one of moving in.  Both cottages have been re-wired and re-plumbed.  The guest cottage retains its original wooden windows which does actually add charm.  There are ceiling fans throughout both cottages.

The house has, in the past, been used as holiday accommodation and only needs new accreditation for rural tourism.
