A very nice rural finca in an excellent location with good access this is a property with a lot of potential in today's growing market.

At the outset we should point out that the overall condition of the property to include the ruined stable block adjacent and the lack of any internal amenities or fittings did lead us to consider whether this property would be better placed within the renovation section of the site. But we feel that despite the extensive overall scope of the works necessary to return the entire farm to its former glory, the overall structure was sufficiently sound that this property could be considered an ongoing labour of love rather than a total rebuild or renovation.

So as we hope the photos may show, this property offers a large workable farm with good open land and flat spaces, excellent communications via the adjacent asphalt road, copious spring water supplied via a permanent spring within the farm and established and highly productive gardens and orchards.

Set in a quiet valley just 5 minutes from the nearest village (where you can buy just basic supplies and there are just two bars) the nearest large towns are 30 - 40 minutes away where you would find the expected shops, services and amenities. The amount of land we have had to estimate since the vendors could not tell us and on viewing the boundaries we have estimated the land as being in excess of 15 hectares and correct supporting documentation of the true area will be available for completion of purchase.

The approach to the buildings is shown in the main photograph above and is a short private gated driveway which leads onto a wonderfully shaded terrace and seating area at the front of the property - which facing generally southwards will benefit from all day sun. As mentioned above there are essentially two parts to the property which comprises a two storey traditionally constructed cortijo of 150m² which appears to be in overall sound and watertight condition and the adjacent old stabling which would need entirely rebuilding to either reinstate the stables (enabling a rurally based enterprise to be run from here) or which could be added to the existing residential building to provide something close to 300m² of living space - quite a substantial residence and indeed sufficient for rural accommodation.

Undoubtedly one of the best features of this property is the extensive cultivated land and planting. the scale of the planting combined with the abundant water (which is entirely the property of the farm and is not shared with any neighbours) and established citrus (mostly oranges) means that a large quantity of produce could be grown throughout the year and with a little knowledge a lot of high yield cash crops could be planted to provide a reasonable income from the farm independent of any rural tourism activity.

Besides the spring water there is main piped water available for connection close by and we are told the proximity to the village would allow installation of mains power although this would have to be confirmed by an engineer.

For the area and with current prices and the availability a genuine properties we feel that this finca represents good value for anyone looking to take on a rural property and needs to realistically derive an income.
