This five-bedroom six-bath home in the mountainside village of Gaucín in southern Spain, about a half-hour drive from the Mediterranean, dates to the 18th century. Clad in white stucco, it was gutted in 2001 and renovated using old bricks, antique doors and other materials salvaged from demolished houses in the area.
Each of the three floors evokes a different culture and century. The bottom floor, originally an olive oil press, is now a sprawling space styled after a Moroccan den. The next floor, at street level, was designed to resemble an Edwardian house, with ornate wallpaper and period furniture. It has a formal entryway, dining room and library, as well as two bedrooms and two baths. The top floor, which houses the master suite, another bedroom and a living room, is decorated in a minimalist style.
There are full kitchens on every floor; the largest, on the bottom floor, has two antique marble sinks and exposed ceiling beams.
