This charming country cortijo is located in a beautiful setting with no close neighbours and offers a glimpse of traditional country life in this idyllic part of the Granada countryside. The property is surrounded by olive groves, almond trees that blossom in February and many ancient protected oak trees.
The property comprises two independent houses – one for the owners and one for guests. This ability to enjoy a peaceful life in Spain and generate income from holiday rentals is the perfect way to settle into life in a new country. There is also a further apartment offering a further bedroom and bathroom, ideal for busy times when extra accommodation is needed.
The property was fully reformed in 2014 to a high standard with new electrical installation, new water supply and gas for central heating. A solar water heating system with a gas backup keeps costs down and a full gas central heating system in both houses give the option of renting the property throughout the year.
The guest house has three bedrooms and three bathrooms and plenty of space to relax inside and outside. The property is also well suited for visitors throughout the year with full central heating to radiators.
For the summer visitors there is lots of outside space to relax in and soak up the peace and privacy on offer. A private patio area has space to relax and dine and the use of BBQ/woodburning pizza oven make cooking outside a treat.
The large swimming pool is totally private and there is a sunbathing terrace, a sandy beach terrace and a pretty courtyard to enjoy.
The house has breathtaking views of the olive groves and mountains that surround the property. In total, there is approximately 21,000M2 of land which equates to just over 5 acres. This includes around 300 olive trees which are currently tended by a local farmer who provides the owners with olive oil for the year and plenty of wood for burning.
The owner´s accommodation comprises one or two bedrooms depending how you want to use the space and a bathroom, a kitchen and living space with access to the gardens and a private patio area.
A further apartment has separate access from the outside to a bedroom with en-suite bathroom which is perfect for overspill and to accommodate extra guests.
