A traditional rural cortijo in the Alpujarras in extremely good condition and with the rare benefit of both mains water and electricity.

Add to this the fact that it really is just a few minutes walk from the village centre, this attractive rural property - with some of the most superb panoramic views - should definitely be seen to be appreciated.

A new renovation of an existing rural cortijo, the house comes fully finished and partly furnished and offers 3 Bedrooms, A large (9m plus) Lounge and Dining Room with Beamed Ceiling. Small Kitchen. Shower and WC. The property has been restored by a local builder and appears to be both structurally sound and watertight. New wiring, plumbing and joinery besides the use of more modern construction materials like concrete and blocks means that the accommodation is fully functional and comfortable and having mains electricity - something many of you know is a genuine rarity outside of towns and villages in this part of Spain. There is a lot of potential to make this a luxurious comfortable property. As can be seen from the photographs there are some notable original or typical features within the property including an upper floor hallway with the native rock cut away to form part of the wall.

The nearby village, just a few minutes walk away, offers most facilities for daily living including bakery, supermarket, pharmacy, doctor, bank, junior school and the nearest larger town is about 20 minutes.

Granada is around 90 minutes away and Motril within the hour. See our maps page for a better orientation and reference to airports, coast and surrounding villages.

The property is detached and has no immediate neighbours and included in the sale are three flat terraces of land. With irrigation water available, it would make an excellent space for a garden and with the currently installed 'deposito' for water - basically a large concrete structure for storing irrigation water - you would be able to have a reasonable sized swimming pool without too much additional expense.

The south facing views are spectacular and like a lot of these areas on the flanks of the Sierra Nevada, you can see the African coast when the atmospheric conditions are right - cooler air over the coast producing less humidity - and the Moroccan coast is visible to the naked eye.

There is additional land which could be purchased adjoining the current property for which we are told some building permissions are available. Hence if you planned to provide additional income, or provide stables for horses (again the flat land is rare to find in an essentially mountainous area) so that a sustainable living could be earned. Price would be negotiable.
