A large Cortijo situated on the Sierra de Contraviesa with many outbuildings. This is a traditional working Cortijo producing numerous grapes, fruits and nuts and the very expensive commodity wild saffron! The property is very traditional and abounds with rustic style. Beams. large open fireplaces and many traditional nooks and crannies.

This Cortijo although in need of serious updating is sound and habitable after the addition of a bathroom and toilet..

The property has 23 rooms in total some of which are stables and stores and there is a large open area on the first floor ripe for conversion into bedrooms and bathrooms.

There is also a Bodega which has all the equipment neccessary for making your own wine,Barrels and a grape press etc. The Sierra de Contraviesa is famous for its wines and is now producing more and more with the re-introduction of vineyards to the area. Thirty years a blight affected the vines and all were lost , but now after a lengthy period of growing almonds and figs landowners in the area are introducing more and more vines back on to the land.
