Picture-Perfect Riverside Home with Garden Between Cortes and Gaucín

Picture-Perfect Riverside Home with Garden Between Cortes and Gaucín https://www.marybeker.com/listings/pi... Positioned between the historic white villages of Gaucín and Cortes de la Frontera, this beautifully conceived house sits quietly on the banks of the River Guadiaro, surrounded by the gentle sounds of flowing water and native birdsong. Defined by a sense of space and calm, the house spans over 200 sq m and is arranged across two levels. A wide entrance hall welcomes you into the home, where a staircase leads to the upper floor. To one side, a generously proportioned living room invites relaxed gatherings, while to the rear, a bright, newly fitted kitchen unfolds — its clean lines and dining space extending seamlessly onto a sunlit terrace. Here, steps descend to a large verdant private garden with automatic irrigation, offering a tranquil connection to the river beyond. Below the terrace with access from the garden is a generous storage room with plenty of space for garden tools and machinery. On the ground floor, a guest bathroom and a well-appointed pantry complete the layout. Thanks to the home’s generous proportions, there is scope to easily create one or even two additional bedrooms, enhancing its flexibility for family living or guest accommodation. The upper floor houses the private quarters. A small single bedroom is accompanied by a spacious principal suite, complete with an en suite bathroom and access to a private terrace — an ideal spot for morning coffee overlooking the river landscape. Throughout, natural materials and traditional features are paired with modern comforts. A wood-burning stove powers the central heating system during the cooler months, and mains electricity is in place. The interiors are characterised by careful attention to detail, subtle textures, and an undeniable sense of character. Located within the peaceful hamlet of Cañada del Real Tesoro — a hidden gem between Gaucín and Cortes — the house offers a rare opportunity to live immersed in nature, while remaining close to the cultural richness and amenities of southern Spain.
