Molino el Tejar
Unique Andalusian estate with two homes and a remarkable artistic heritage | Villanueva del Rosario, Málaga
Molino el Tejar is an exceptional country estate combining authentic Andalusian character with space, luxury and a surprisingly contemporary interior. Behind the charming façade of the traditional cortijo lies an impressive home with the open, spacious feel of a loft.
The estate offers two fully independent living units, five bedrooms, five bathrooms and approximately 12,000 m² of land. The walled residential area provides peace and privacy, while the centre of Villanueva del Rosario is only a three-minute drive away.
A spectacular loft-style home
At the heart of the main house is an impressive open-plan living area with soaring ceilings and a mezzanine. Authentic features, generous proportions and contemporary finishes combine to create a truly distinctive atmosphere.
The newly fitted bespoke kitchen opens directly onto the living space and features a large island, an American-style fridge and a high-quality combination steam oven. It is a wonderful setting for cooking, dining and entertaining.
The main house has three spacious bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom. There is also a separate TV room, an office and an exceptional amount of practical storage. The well-considered layout allows the different areas to flow naturally into one another.
A fully independent casita
The separate casita is a complete second home with two generous bedrooms, its own kitchen and two bathrooms. It also enjoys a private terrace and garden.
This independent accommodation is ideal for relatives or friends who value their own space and privacy. Subject to the applicable permissions, it could also serve as guest accommodation, a workspace or a rental unit.
Ideal as a family home or luxury guesthouse
Molino el Tejar is exceptionally well suited to life as a spacious family home. The main house offers comfortable everyday living, while relatives or guests can stay independently in the casita.
Thanks to its layout and the separate access to the rooms, the estate also presents interesting possibilities for a small luxury guesthouse or B&B concept. Guests can be welcomed discreetly without compromising the privacy of the main residence. Any tourism-related use would, of course, be subject to the necessary licences and permissions.
A remarkable artistic heritage
Molino el Tejar has a special connection with the internationally renowned Spanish painter and printmaker José Hernández. The artist spent extended periods here, creating works in this inspiring setting.
This artistic heritage adds another dimension to the estate and contributes to the home's unique character and atmosphere.
Outdoor living, nature and privacy
A variety of terraces and inviting seating areas surround the house, offering a pleasant place in the sun or shade at any time of day.
A fully enclosed relaxation area with a plunge pool provides a sheltered setting in which to cool off and unwind in complete privacy.

Several walking routes can be followed directly from the surrounding area, leading through the beautiful Andalusian countryside. It is an ideal setting for those who appreciate peace, nature, walking and outdoor living.
The village is only three minutes away

Molino el Tejar therefore combines genuine tranquillity and privacy with the convenience of a lively Andalusian village nearby and good connections towards Málaga.

Authentic Andalusian cortijo with 24,000 m² of land, pool and renovation potential – Las Carboneras
Looking for space, privacy and authentic Andalusian character, with the opportunity to complete part of the property entirely to your own taste?
This impressive cortijo, with 588 m² built according to Catastro, sits on approximately 24,000 m² of land with olive trees and panoramic countryside views, in the peaceful area of Las Carboneras, Villanueva del Rosario, Málaga.
Important to know about the condition
The cortijo consists of two clearly different parts.
One part of the property has already been renovated and is ready to live in, with bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen and living areas.
A significant part of the cortijo, however, is still in an unfinished casco condition and requires renovation and completion before it can be used as finished living accommodation. This gives the new owner the opportunity to determine the final layout and create additional bedrooms, guest accommodation, studios, workspaces or other living areas according to their own requirements.
Some images in this listing have been digitally edited using AI to illustrate the renovation potential of the unfinished areas. These images are visualisations only and do not represent the current condition of those spaces. The original photographs are also included so that the current condition can be clearly seen.

Layout and renovation potential
The renovated section provides comfortable accommodation that can already be used while work is carried out on the remaining part of the cortijo.
The unfinished casco offers considerable additional space and flexibility. Depending on the buyer's plans, it could potentially be transformed into extra living areas, guest accommodation, studios or other spaces, subject to any necessary technical and administrative approvals.
For complete transparency, the unfinished part requires renovation, the swimming pool requires re-tiling, and some exterior painting and cosmetic finishing is still needed.
The combination of an immediately usable section and a large unfinished section makes this particularly interesting for buyers looking for a property they can enjoy now while gradually creating additional space and adding value.
Location
The cortijo enjoys a peaceful rural setting with good connections towards Villanueva del Rosario, Archidona, Málaga and Granada.
With its substantial built area, approximately 24,000 m² of land and considerable renovation potential, the property could work as a spacious private home, a multi-generational family property or a small retreat or guest accommodation concept, subject to the buyer's plans and any required permissions.
