All of the carpentry has been hand crafted to copy the original antique doors and windows and there is also some handcrafted, reproductions of the decorative metalwork.

The house enjoys an energy efficient electric heating system of radiators and there are also aircon units in the main rooms on the 1st and 2nd levels. This property really is rather special , offering a very comfortable and stylish home with the added bonus of offering the potential for developing a small rural tourism business. The pueblo of Carratraca is an Andalucian village of less than 1000 inhabitants but enjoys many amenities such as shops, restaurants and sport facilities. It is 49kms from Málaga city and international airport and just a short drive from the Guadalteba lakes and El Chorro. The El Chorro area is one of the most important areas in Europe for rock climbing and related outdoor activities. In recent years the area has benefited from substantial investment from the Spanish government and Europe to redevelop an old walk way known as the "Caminito del Rey" and this has resulted in an important influx of tourists to the area throughout the year.
