A traditional cortijo which has been partly updated with spectacular views above Capileira in the high Alpujarra.

The cortijo is accessed via a short track from the main track leading into the Sierra Nevada National Park. The property is set on a sloping hillside and the accomodation is split level.

The entrance is at the higher level of the main house and steps lead down into a light and spacious lounge dining room with alpujarran style kitchen. The views are spectacular and the room has plenty of windows looking out on to the views.

Half way down the steps from the front door is a doorway leading to a large double bedroom and also a doorway to the shower room.

An archway leads to a staircase which has three further double bedrooms and a huge marble shower room. The staircase then leads on further down to a large and spacious entertaining room which has been partially updated and has a bar/galley kitchen with exquisite hand carved wooden bar and uprights, with a mouse detail carved into them. This room also has a large picture window with views to the mountains.

This property has mains electricity and Sierra Nevada spring water connected.

To the rear of the property close to the car parking area is a very large stone garage with windows which could be converted easily into a seperate guest cottage. The main cortijo could also be split easily into two apartments if required.

Some of the 12 hectares of land is grassland with almond and fig trees which is surrounding the cortijo, and the majority is conifer woodland which is looked after by the Sierra Nevada Park authorities. There is also a large water deposito (open storage tank) which could be converted to a swimming pool just 50 meters from the house.

If you are seeking a rural retreat, or a peaceful home then this property may just be for you!

NB. Please note that this cortijo is slightly above the snow line and therefore will see snowfalls in the winter months.

The airports of Almeria and Granada are approx a 90 minutes drive.
