Once upon a time there was a cortijo in Ronda, owned by a Spanish farmer who took took care of his sheep. For that time, this was a very typical in Andalusia. The farmer felt lucky: he loved his animals, of course, but most of all, he loved coming to this magical and peaceful place. He was surrounded by a forest of cork oak trees in the middle of a dehesa landscape. As he walked around the land each morning, the fresh smell of trees and damp grass soothed him. Taking his sheep on a stroll with him, he could see the rolling mountains of Ronda. He would just stand there to take nature’s beauty in.
The cortijo was charming, endearing and so beautifully secluded. Moreover, the architecture was majestic for its time. Whomever built it truly had an eye for style and detail. Years later, the renovation transformed this old barn into a jaw-dropping architectural wonder. The new architect understood that the old historical features ought to be preserved. Every stone and tree was a part of that cortijo’s history. This Cortijo for sale in Ronda is a masterpiece.
Preserved historic elements
To honour the initial style, the renovated cortijo too needed to “be one” with the natural landscape. Specifically local and characteristic plants such as lavender and olive trees were planted to decorate the symmetrically built patios. The purpose of the symmetry was to safeguard tranquility and the same peaceful feeling the farmer felt when he lived there. The innate red tints of the mountains and the soil were incorporated in the design by means of terracota flooring. Additionally, natural stones were used to build walls. Furthermore, grand wooden doors were preserved to give this cortijo the authentic feel it always had.
