A six-bedroom house in Colomera, Spain, has gone on the market for €1.5million – roughly £1.3million – and comes with its own mountain.
The vast 690-acre site boasts wild boar, rabbits, partridge and Iberian ibex as residents.
The main house, Cortijo Las Majas, built only 12 years ago, sits on the site of a much older cortijo, or traditional rural dwelling, and spans more than 5,000 square feet.
The house has been designed in the style of a rural hunting lodge, with large ground floor reception rooms for entertaining, a marble staircase and sliding glazed doors providing panoramic views over the land.
All of the six bedrooms are ensuite and the property comes with a large wine cellar, as the current owner has a vineyard.
The property’s new buyer will be able to make the most of a walk-in larder and laundry room. The house has also been kitted out with solar panels and a smart home control system.
Up for grabs: Cortijo Las Majas is on the market for €1,500,000 via Granada Village & Country
Outside, there is a swimming pool, generous terrace area and an outdoor kitchen. A veranda extends around two sides of the house.
The entire estate is fenced and the driveway is gated. The site also has a ‘sophisticated’ security system for remote and on-site monitoring, with approaching visitors seen from miles away.
‘While the site has a top security system, this is not some Richard Onslow Roper-esque hideaway.
‘It is a beautiful home in which to retreat from the noise of a contemporary world’, Ian Rutter, of Granada Village & Country, the estate agency selling the property, said.
He added: ‘This is a house for guests and entertaining without fear of disturbing neighbours.
‘It is a private hideaway surrounded by nature where peace and quiet are very much the norm.
‘Maintenance of the land is minimal. This is not an olive farm; rather, it is nature at its most beautiful and unspoiled, and it is hard to believe that the mountain belongs to the house, or the house to the mountain’.
The property is around 43km from the city of Granada, with Malaga Airport 157km away.
Rutter said: ‘The views are spectacular and represent everything that is so beautiful about Andalucia: vast skies, rolling hills, legions of olive trees, dramatic mountains and a wildness that is increasing hard to find’.

Be cautious: Always appoint an independent solicitor if you buy a home in Spain
Buying property in Spain
Buying a property in Spain as a British citizen is not a decision to be taken lightly. The process can be time-consuming and expensive.
Anyone considering buying a home in Spain should appoint an independent solicitor who specialises in Spanish land law.
They need to be acting in solely your best interests, and not for the estate agent or developer in question.
The Spanish property conveyancing system is different to the British system, so you should ensure that anyone involved in the transaction is qualified and experienced in Spain.
Britain’s Foreign Office says: ‘Use extreme caution if an estate agent, promoter or lawyer urges you to cut corners to save money or time.’
When it comes to selecting a mortgage, analyse and compare different products and services offered by lending companies carefully.
If you have any doubts about the terms and conditions, ask the lender to explain.
You should also check with the Bank of Spain that the lender is authorised to operate in Spain.
Taxes in Spain dealing with buying, selling or renting property can be complicated and vary depending on the location.
Consider appointing a professional tax adviser or get advice from an accountant before putting in any offers.
