Fabulous, renovated oil mill with a swimming pool in the heart of Melegís, nestled in the Lecrín Valley.
For two centuries, Molino Bajo was the center of the olive oil trade in Melegís, producing, according to experts, the best olive oil in the province of Granada. This former mill converted into a luxurious holiday retreat boasts five bedrooms, three bathrooms and a toilet, and was tastefully renovated in 1998 while maintaining its Moorish-Moroccan essence.
Entering through the impressive Vintage Moroccan carved wooden door, one appreciates the taste, style and seduction of the place. The peaceful patio with its Arabic tiled roof and garden furniture in harmony with the surroundings, together with the private swimming pool illuminated throughout the day, add a touch of freshness to the place.
Its L-shaped living room, decorated with exquisite care, maintains the essence of the old mill, while the amphitheatre-style seating area and the huge terracotta jars near the fireplace (which each used to contain 5000 litres of olive oil), transmit peace and harmony. In this space, the fusion of traditional and exotic elements becomes evident among Arab cushions and a wall-mounted fountain. The table, made with the original mill stones, can accommodate more than 20 guests, creating a fascinating atmosphere around the fireplace. The separate kitchen, spacious and comfortable, is ideal for culinary lovers.
The main bedroom is located on the upper floor and offers privacy and comfort. It includes an en-suite bathroom and a walk-in closet. The remaining four bedrooms are more accessible and open to the outside, and the two separate bathrooms and the guest toilet, finely decorated with tiled floors in green and blue tones, are cosy, functional and bright. There is underfloor heating in the living room, dining room and kitchen, and radiators in the bedrooms and bathrooms.
Outside, two terraces connected by a staircase leading to the upper floor offer a space to enjoy outdoor living. One of them is equipped with an Arabian brass gazebo. There is also an outdoor dining area and a solarium next to the swimming pool ideal to gather in the company of family and friends. There is a separate WC accessed from this terrace.
This beautiful property is located in Melegís, in the Lecrín Valley of Granada, famous for its orange and olive groves, and it is a mere 2-minute walk from Los Naranjos, the most popular restaurant in the valley. That, together with its proximity to emblematic places such as La Alpujarra and the city of Granada, with its famous Alhambra and the Costa Tropical, make Molino Bajo the perfect place to take up residence in Andalusia.
