A traditional cortijo situated on the Sierra de Contraviesa with
wonderful views to 360 degrees. The cortijo is actually made up
of two seperate buildings with a shady walkway in between.
The
first comprises of two floors and the living accomodation for this
building is on the first floor. Although because of its situation
it is on a hillside access is from ground level. On the lower floor
are the animal stables and store rooms.
There
is a kitchen dining room with a large storeroom off which also houses
the solar power batteries etc.
Adjacent
to this through the entrance hall is a large room used for family
get togethers which has a lovely traditional open fireplace, (it
was cold on the day of our visit and the fire was burning well very
cosy) Towards the back of this room is a small bathroom and a bedroom.

The second part
of the cortijo is again on the first floor with access via a outside
staircase. On entering the central sitting room bedrooms are set
off to the sides. A bathroom is accessed through one of these bedrooms.
There are again
numerous stores and animal rooms etc below.
This property
does need reorganising and requires some degree of renovation but
the property appears to be structurally sound and dry.
There is 10,000
m2 of land with the property some is situated in front of the first
part of the Cortijo and would make a lovely garden with fantastic
views and the remainder is a strip of land running down to the river
bed. Which is planted mainly to almonds and figs.
About 20 mins
to the nearest village amenities including shops, bars restaurants
and schools. 30 mins drive to the coast and about 90 mins to both
Granada and Almeria airports.
