AX1069 – Casa Acuña, small country house to renovate, Canillas de Aceituno

9950m2 of, with a small 31m2 ancient cottage to restore, with a little front terrace and an animal shed. Sea views.

A tiny cottage to renovate with the possibility of extending to add a kitchen and a bathroom – glorious land, and wonderful, panoramic views.

Located along a very good dirt track (around 400m), and within 10 minutes of Alcaucin and also Canillas de Aceituno,  this delightful cottage is perfect for anyone wanting a small, but perfect, country home, perhaps reproducing the wonderful original features of these ancient buildings, such as the sloping roofs with wooden beams and cane infill, and reproduction Andalusian floor tiles.  The cottage, currently 31m2, has an original fireplace at one end, which could potentially be restored, along with the front porch/terrace.  From the terrace are wonderful views down the valley and out to the Mediterranean sea.

The land consists of 9768m2 of hillside, with ancient raisin drying beds and it would be possible to make little paths down the hill leading to different areas, perhaps an area with a fruit tree orchard, a vegetable plot, and plenty of space for animals.  The owners remember the existence of a natural water source at the very bottom of the hill, which could be investigated and perhaps used. However, there is a mains water connection and electricity is just a few metres away.  There is a second piece of land on the other side of the track, included in the price (182m2).

As of Spring 2023 we have had a builder’s quote to fully renovate the house, level and fence off the land around the property and create a mezzanine inside the property for 21.300€.  This property would let well to holidaymakers and is the ideal peaceful, simple, rustic escape from a fast, busy world!
