Wonderfully and classicly designed villa reminiscent of Roman or Grecian times, on a landscaped two and a half acre plot with gorgeous gardens, irrigated lawn, fountains, statuettes, a large swimming pool, and prepared tennis court.

This property is located about 5 minutes north of Ronda, and offers views of the countryside and mountains to the west. Lifestyle buyers looking for a second home close to Ronda yet far enough away to enjoy the tranquility of the countryside should find Shangrí Lá quite agreeable. Central heating, open fireplaces, and double glazed windows make this a comfortable home in the winter months.

Shangri Lá features 5 bedrooms, each with its own en-suite and built-in wardrobes, two large living areas with open fire places, two dining areas, a home office, cloakroom in the main entrance, and a fully equipped kitchen. The ground floor bedrooms each have a private terrace facing the rear, whilst the upstairs master bedroom and salon offer large terraces overlooking the pool and gardens.

The garage is spacious and has a roof top terrace overlooking the orchard, gardens, pool, and driveway. 3 phase power is supplied throughout the property. A small guesthouse with private patio is located on the other side of the garage, offering discretion in both directions. The guesthouse is ideally located for security, nanny, or housekeeping staff, and would be quite suitable for a couple who undertake a property management role.

A large spacious lawn dominates the garden, containing two attractive fountains with separate power and water pumps, several stone statuettes, a large swimming pool surrounded by stone paving and balustrades with ample room for several sun loungers.

Privacy around the pool is assured with many mature shrubs facing the perimeter of the property. Garden parties are easily accommodated, Shangri-Lá has a large bandstand adjacent the pool, whilst the patio surrounding the pool is large enough for dining tables if this is desired.

The garden is filled with mature trees, oaks, palms and yukas, as well as over 100 rose bushes. 1,000 Cypress trees have been planted around the perimeter and offer privacy and shade to driveway areas. The orchard contains fruit bearing apples, pears, cherries, nisperos, kakis (persimmon), oranges, plums, almonds, and pomegranates, whilst to the rear of the property there are 70 mature olive trees.

For Sale in Ronda, Shangri Lá Villa

Shangri Lá has been mentioned in a novel by Francisco Casas Delgado, a prominent writer of traditional Andalucían recipes. In his novel “El oscuro mundo de Epifanio Blanco”, he writes;

“Seen through the eyes of a child, walking in the old olive trees at Shangri Lá, along the paths kept by his father’s patient hands, among the rose bushes pruned and full of masses of white flowers that scent the air in the autumn afternoon. He approaches the two strong oaks where the hammock hangs, here where his father would lie down before dinner, sipping Martinis with ice and a lemon twist, that he served, along with a plate of olives stuffed with anchovies.”
