About this property

Spectacular Country Retreat

One-of-a-kind 3-bedroom villa, on an artists’ estate, perched high on one of the Coast’s most singular properties, a 5000 square meter plateau with totally unobstructed, 360-degree views of the entire Coast, Gibraltar, and on a clear day, the mountains of North Africa. The property is historic; once the site of a Moorish castle, with ruins still visible today. Nestled among olive and fig trees, the unique, rustic house boasts an immaculate 12 by 5 meter swimming pool. It's ample gardens and unique location, atop a plateau, create an experience of total privacy and pure peace. Casa Gordon features 3 bedrooms, two kitchens, multiple terraces; and a massive central living/dining room, with towering ceilings and huge windows which allow the light and views to come pouring in. The property is divided into two structures: the "main house" which contains two bedrooms, a living/dining room, kitchen and bathroom; and an adjoining "apartment" connected by an interior patio, that contains another bedroom, a bathroom and a kitchenette. (For additional guests please contact owner.) All is fully-furnished and decorated with the art-work of Charlotte and Harry Gordon, the American artists who designed and built the house, paying loving attention to its every detail. It has ample parking and is protected by an electronic gate and alarm system. Casa Gordon is located in the countryside, just 1 kilometer East of the town of Mijas. The entire Costa Del Sol is easily accessible and the location is ideally situated for a multitude of day-trips and getaways.

About the host

Hosted by Jesse & Ben

Host profile image
This plateau is steeped in history. It used to be a Moorish fortress almost 1000 years ago (you can still see some of the ruins on the other side of the pool). Our family purchased the property in the 1950’s when the only way over the Mijas road was by burro or Land Rover. We have always endeavored to preserve the natural beauty of this place and we hope to share it with you!

Simply put, this is one of the most unique properties you will ever experience. The views and privacy of the location are unparalleled!
