GAUCÍN – IT’S ALL ABOUT THE LOCATION & THE VIEWS
Sometimes, the only way to get exactly the home you want is to build it yourself.
And this is one of those opportunities.
Two adjoining traditional village houses, sold together under one title deed, occupying a fantastic position in Gaucín and spanning two streets. The existing buildings are large, arranged over three floors plus a roof terrace — but in our view, the current layout is almost irrelevant.
This is a property to look at differently.
Think of it as a building plot with existing façades, offering the opportunity to substantially rebuild and create a completely new home behind them.
And what makes it worth doing? The location and those extraordinary sea and mountain views.
There is enough space to think creatively: a substantial two- or three-storey contemporary Andalusian home, a garage, internal courtyard, swimming pool, generous terraces and a spectacular roof terrace designed to make the most of the panorama.
Alternatively, the site could potentially lend itself to creating two independent homes — perhaps one to live in and one to rent, or two properties as an investment or holiday-rental project, subject of course to the necessary planning approvals.
Originally one large two-storey village house, the property was divided into two homes by the current owners' parents. Today, bringing the two buildings back together opens up some fascinating possibilities.
Forget the rooms you see in the photographs. Look at the space. Look at the position. And most importantly, look at the views. Room to build a third floor . A roof terrace .
A pool in a private internal courtyard?
A rooftop pool overlooking the Mediterranean?
A fabulous entertaining terrace?
A completely new home designed around light, outdoor living and the landscape?
Be creative.
We have already carried out some preliminary architectural studies exploring what could be possible, and buyers can consult with our architect to discuss ideas for transforming the property.
Because when the location is this good, it may be worth starting again.
The sky really is the limit — and from up here, you can almost see it all.
