Finca El Abuelillo, Timeless Country Estate - Ronda

Set within the rolling countryside of Ronda, Finca El Abuelillo offers over 35,000 m² of private land, combining enduring architecture with quiet seclusion. Designed by local architect Adolfo Izquierdo Caballero, known for his work on Ronda’s Plaza del Socorro, this estate is rooted in the region’s traditional style and built with a solid structural foundation to withstand the natural movements of the land.

The main residence measures 1,177.20 m², thoughtfully laid out across two floors, with over 300 m² of terraces designed for outdoor living and dining. The construction sits on a reinforced concrete platform, ensuring long-term structural integrity.

Inside, the property features 5 bedrooms, including a primary suite with dressing area and en-suite bath, 4 additional bathrooms, and 1 guest toilet. The interiors are defined by handcrafted elements, high ceilings, and a palette that reflects the natural surroundings. Heating is distributed throughout the home via a system installed by the original owner, with a pre-installation in place for solar energy. Thanks to the orientation and insulation, the house maintains a stable temperature year-round, eliminating the need for air conditioning.

Finca El Abuelillo is more than a home; it is the result of a shared vision between Mari Carmen and Mateo, who met in their teenage years and spent a lifetime building something lasting together. After years of running stores in Barcelona, they followed their love for Ronda—a place of deep connection and memory. They acquired this land and, from afar, planned each detail of the house, overseeing every phase of construction with care. The name of the estate is a tribute to Mari Carmen’s father, affectionately called “El Abuelillo,” whose memory remains part of its foundation. Every tree planted, every brick laid, carries the imprint of a family who chose this land as their family place.

The estate’s terrain of 35,939.34 m² is arranged into several functional areas. To the north, a mature olive grove yields between 700 and 1,000 kilos of olives every harvest season, supporting private oil production through the local cooperative. Directly in front of the main house, a fenced plot with fertile soil has proven ideal for cultivating vines, offering potential for a small-scale wine venture.

A detached structure houses a prefabricated swimming pool, outdoor barbecue, and summer kitchen—spaces designed for hosting family gatherings. Adjacent stables with two horse boxes accommodate equestrian use, with room for expansion if required.

Finca El Abuelillo is accessible via a well-maintained road, offering privacy without sacrificing proximity to the historic centre of Ronda. The location provides sweeping views of the surrounding countryside, olive trees, and distant mountains.

This estate is suitable for those seeking a refined country home with agricultural possibilities, equestrian facilities, and a clear architectural identity tied to the region.
