An increasingly rare item these days - a cortijo in the natural park of the Sierra Nevada which is habitable rather than in ruins or just a stone hut.

Set around 20 minutes drive form the nearest town (shops, schools, doctor etc.) this is a really quite beautiful property. Small but well finished with a plumbed in water supply from its own spring, the house could be inhabited immediately and any minimal further work you may wish to do could be carried out once you're happily installed.

As can be seen from the photographs opposite, the property consists of the following accommodation:

Lounge and Dining Room. 2 Bedrooms. Fitted Kitchen. Bathroom. There is a lighting system installed which is currently powered from a car battery, but this could be upgraded to a simple solar system with the addition of a solar panel and small current inverter.

The property is set within around 10,000m² of its own land including some established planting of Almonds, Cherries, Plums, Sweet Chestnut, Walnuts, Apples, Figs. There is a private spring on the land which both feeds the domestic supply as well as the water storage tank for irrigation.

There is a shaded vine covered terrace outside the main door for enjoying the long summer sunshine and the general environs of the Sierra Nevada natural park are one of Europe's great wild spaces - the perfect place for bird watching, walking, cycling. The views from this cortijo are simply stunning with huge wide open vistas sweeping south toward the Sierra de Gador and the coast. Definitely not a place for agoraphobics.

An attractive, habitable rural cortijo in a wonderful rural mountain setting.
