A historic and magnificently restored 1890 olive mill, offering a unique blend of rich history and contemporary elegance, perfectly situated amidst the idyllic olive groves of Andalucia. This gorgeous property in the heart of nature promises an unparalleled escape for those seeking cultural immersion in the south, serene relaxation in rural Spain, and access to the wild natural park.
About the property
Dating back to 1890, The Olive Mill is a truly special home which nestles within its own 300 acre private forest near the pretty Andalucian town of Higuera de la Sierra - a soulful escape where Andalusian magic meets rustic elegance. Inside, discover a spacious living room with original beamed ceilings, a large farmhouse kitchen, and seven individually designed en-suite bedrooms – two downstairs and five upstairs. The original olive press still takes pride of place in the grand entrance hall, where soaring beamed ceilings, statement tiles and curated antiques offer an abundance of old-world charm - an inspiring space perfect for quiet contemplation or yoga.
When the sun is shining, head outside and get comfy on the loungers by the side of the pool. You can also take your morning coffee beneath the oaks, dine alfresco beside lemon trees or watch deer drink from the stream at dusk. Then, enjoy an indulgent dip in the pool to cool off in style. Hop into the wood-fired hot tub for a luxurious soak with a glass of bubbles as the sun begins to set. The enchanting gardens transform with the seasons, where you might even meet friendly llamas and our rescue donkeys.
Walk to the newly opened Tapas Bar where they use local, seasonal produce. Though just an hour from Seville, The Olive Mill offers a different world within the Sierra de Aracena Natural Park, where the pace is slow and local towns like Higuera de la Sierra and Aracena await exploration - And for a true fairytale flourish, your hosts Simone and Juan may whisk you into town by antique horse-drawn carriage for a glass of wine under the stars.
