A wonderful restoration project!

A rare opportunity has arisen to purchase and renovate a large traditional Cortijo with 54 hectares of land close to Murtas.

This property is quite a rarity these days as most of the large individual cortijos have already been sold for renovation. The cortijo could be reformed into a country hotel or a large private residence.

The approach to the property is from the main road along a private track which gently descends down to the property with the estate land on either side. The land is sloping and produces almonds, olives, figs and grapes.

In front of the Cortijo is a large flat area for parking and entrance to the house is through huge traditional moorish style wooden doors. The entrance salon is large with various rooms leading off. To the right is a large reception room with a kitchen of and a full room making up the fireplace and bread oven with the largest chimney I have ever seen a cortijo. There are three further large rooms leading from the main reception room which are currently occasional bedrooms and a bodega.

Across to the other side of the entrance salon are various doors leading into vast rooms/stables.

This lower ground floor has sufficient space for dining room, reception, guests lounge, catering kitchen, offices and ground floor guest bedrooms.

A large staircase leads to the first floor where the rooms are different levels some have been grain stores there is also an azotea ( a terrace with incredible views) There is easily sufficient room on this level for a further six bedrooms.

A courtyard to the rear of the property offers amazing views to the surrounding countryside and has a range of different outbuildings ripe for conversion.

This property has the benfit of a very large water deposito holding some 600,000 litres and this has a small ruin adjacent to it. (35m2 ruin). Mains water is also connected to the property. Should you wish to the water deposito could be converted to a swimming pool and the ruin to a pool house/changing room.

This property offers an excellent opportunity to develop a country estate for tourism or a wonderful family home.

Don´t miss it there are very few of these opportunities left!

Both Granada and Almeria airport can be reached in around 1 hr 30 mins.
