About this property

Rural Cortijo with Land and Workshops

Set in a rural location in the Andalucian Mountains, this substantial cortijo offers approximately 300 sqm of living space, 12 acres of land and scope for a business or other rural pursuits. The house has four bedrooms, three bathrooms and four reception rooms, as well as two dressing rooms, a studio and a pantry. Two large garages or workshops provide useful additional space; one has an inspection pit. There are two separate entrances and ample parking.

Outside, a patio and plunge pool sit within approximately two acres of fenced land around the house. The wider grounds include olive and almond groves, along with plum, lemon, fig and grapevines. The setting also offers direct access to the surrounding countryside, making it suitable for equestrian use. A Citroën Picasso can be included in the sale; it is older but roadworthy. The sellers are also open to a swap for a detached rural property in the UK or Scotland with adjoining land, or land nearby.

Owned and refurbished by an artist, the property has a distinctive character. The electrics and plumbing were renewed in 2019, and the house is described as fully legal. It is double glazed and heated by two large wood burners. Much of the refurbishment has been completed to a high standard, while some areas remain open to improvement, offering the opportunity to add value and personalise the home.

The cortijo is around a five-minute drive from Oria, a village with a 24-hour medical centre, schools, banks, a supermarket and other everyday amenities. Albox is approximately 35 minutes away, while the coastal towns of Garrucha and Mojácar are around 45 minutes by car. Located in the province of Almería, this is a peaceful base for enjoying the countryside and wider Andalusia, with good road access via a concreted track and tarmac road.
