A stunning 3 bedroom country house set on a beautiful plot of useable farmland, with an established rental income and potential for further business opportunities

This very special property, located within a private estate of 85,000m2 of totally accessible and useable land, has a beautifully restored 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom country house, a separate 2 bedroom holiday cottage, a  separate studio, large pool,  a large barn, outbuildings, 600 olive trees and good farmland fields.  Access is perfect, the whole property is set apart from other houses, the views are idyllic, there is mains and well water, 12,000L water storage tanks, electricity and some interesting natural rock formations on the land, including an ancient historic cave!

The property is accessed via  a short concrete track from a pretty country lane, located between Alora and Valle de Abdalajis towns (Abdalajis is just 10 minutes away).  The concrete driveway onto the land first takes you past the rental cottage which has its own gardens, and the lane continues up to the main house, where there is a large parking area and turning circle, all beautifully landscaped and planted.

The main house, looking out over a spectacular valley and mountains, is 117m2 and has a large covered porch area for outdoor eating in the shade, (15.4 x 3.3m), a smaller North facing veranda and a rear veranda.

Inside, a spacious living room has high sloping ceiling with beams, a large woodburner and sitting area at one end, and dining area at the other (9.5 x 3.75m).  This room has two pre-installed points to add air conditioning units if required.  The separate kitchen is fully fitted with quality units and is a good size (3.75m x 4m).  There are three bedrooms; bedroom 1 (3.5 x 3.7m) has a walk-in wardrobe and a large store on a higher level, hot and cold air conditioning unit, and a bathroom of 2.5 x 2m.  Bedroom 2 is around the same size  and also has a walk-in wardrobe, two higher level store areas, hot/cold air conditioning unit and a bathroom (1.5 x 2.7m).  Bedroom 3 is a similar size again and has a WC, and this room is currently used as a hobby room/library, as the current owners do not need to use all three rooms as bedrooms.  The house is very well built, with quality materials throughout, comfortable and modern, with traditional rustic touches such as shuttered windows (arch shaped in quality wood), beams and rustic tyling.

Outside, across very pretty landscaped gardens and a little lawn area is the studio ‘casita’.  This consists of a living/sleeping area (4.5 x 5.5m) with a bathroom (1.7 x 1.7m)

Beyond, and up a few little steps, is a most magnificent pool (9.5 x 4.5m) with lawns and gardens around and a wooden pool house for dining or relaxing by the poolside.  Beyond the pool house, walk along the little paths, past huge and fascinating old rocks, passing a little ‘grotto’ and to the bouldering area, where bouldering enthusiasts can practice rope-free rock-climbing.  The bouldering area (which is like a secret “hide-out”) is also a wonderful place for social gatherings, forming a circle of huge ancient boulders.  Here there is a fascinating cave which is said to have hidden the ‘maquis’ (guerillas fighting the dictatorship in Spain back in the 40′s and 50′s).

Below the house, on a slightly lower level is an empty reservoir area, which could easily be made into a small lake and another beautiful feature, with water being supplied by the well.

The large goat shed/barn/garage is 11 x 5.7m and would make excellent stables for horses.  There are also various smaller outbuidings and a dog kennel.

The rental cottage is equally beautiful, and consists of a private drive, parking area and gardens, covered terrace area, a large living room, fully fitted kitchen, two spacious bedrooms and one bathroom.  It provides the owners with a regular income from holiday makers seeking accommodation in this popular area.

The finca has several fields ideal for growing crops of all sorts.  There are also 600 productive olive trees, currently looked after by two locals, who help the current owners to prune the trees and pick the olives.  Everywhere the views are magnificent.  There is potential here to develop the holiday business, offering walking, riding and other types of activity holidays, in  addition the specialist bouldering facility.  The rental cottage could also be let full time for a regular ongoing income.

Included in the sale is a tractor and trailer, plough and an air conditioned 4×4 vehicle.
All paperwork is up to date.  Offers will be considered.

Distances: Alora 20 mins, Abdalajis 10 mins, El Chorro and the lakes 25 mins.

This is what I can only describe as a thoroughbred of cortijos, the real thing, a jewel of a place set in a simply perfect location – lucky the person who manages to acquire this wonderful piece of pure Andalusian culture and history!!

When I saw this place I was awe-struck!  This is it!  The classic country cortijo, surrounded on all sides by fields and hill, with distant mountains and total, magical, Southern charm!!!  For anyone who wants the real thing, and a chance to carefully and lovingly restore a true piece of history, and have lots of land into the bargin, this is your property!

Set on 140,000m2 (approx.) of land, consisting of cereal and vegetable crop fields and scrub, undulating hills, with wonderful views all around, this old farmhouse has a walled patio courtyard with original flagstone floors, which is surrounded on one side by the outer wall to the car parking area, on two further sides by huge barns, and on the remaining side by the two storey house itself.  The house is divided into two halves but they could easily become one house.

The structure is on the whole sound, the rooms small with small windows, which is typical, but the whole thing could be opened out and redesigned as required, with patio doors from the house, and the two barns (which could be guest accommodation) giving both onto the central courtyard,and, from the other sides, onto the land.

The house has beams galore, old floors, fireplaces and so much more!  It is a basic habitable at the moment, so for anyone wishing to move in and gradually restore this simply incredible place it is perfect.  A place to change a lifestyle, to take on animals and horses, to enjoy the outdoors, to grow crops, to take in holiday makers and guests and offer activities such as walking (walk to the lakes at El Chorro!!) horse riding, quad biking, cycling, etc.

The property is approached by an extremely good, all year round track, perfectly accessible with an ordinary car.  The track is just 1.1Kms long, and from the beginning of the track to the main A343 road between Antequera and Valle de Abdalajis is an asphalted country lane of just 1.3Km.  From the end of the lane, Abdalajis village is around 3Kms, Alora is 22km, Antequera 19Kms and Malaga 54Km.

This is a stylishly renovated, bright and spacious townhouse in the pretty white village of Canillas de Albaida.

This house is located in the older part of the village, but conveniently on a quiet road where stopping outside to unload shopping etc is possible. On-street parking is available nearby.  It is only a couple of minutes’ walk to the picturesque village square, local shops, playground, swimming pool, bars, bank, school, pharmacy, surgery, post office etc. and a short drive to the larger and busier village of Cómpeta, or to the lovely Sierra de Almijara Natural Park.

The front door opens into an entrance hall/lobby, (3m x 3m).  It is currently being used as an office space, but if this is not required, it would simply make a lovely reception area.  There is an under-stairs cupboard and stairs up to the first floor.

The sitting/dining room (6m x 3.2m) is located on the first floor, with a lovely ‘juliette’ balcony overlooking the street.  The room has a built-in TV stand and shelves, and an alcove with fittings for the log burner.  A door leads through to bedroom 1, with an archway to a wardrobe/storage area and bathroom 1.  Bedroom 1 (3.2m x 3.3m) is currently used as the master bedroom.  Bathroom 1  is tastefully decorated and equipped, and is fully tiled with large walk in shower, close coupled WC and pedestal washbasin.

Stairs lead to second floor where the second and third bedrooms and second bathroom are located.  Bedroom 2 (3m x 3m) is a double bedroom and is nicely heated in the winter by the flue from the woodburner below.  Bathroom 2  is beautifully renovated and is fully tiled with large walk-in shower.  It has a close coupled WC and tiled basin stand, plus a spacious linen cupboard with larger than usual hot water cylinder.  Bedroom 3  (4m x 3.5m)  is a spacious room, currently furnished with twin beds.

Stairs lead up again to the kitchen and roof terrace.  The fact that the kitchen is on the top floor should not put anyone off – it is a wonderful place to be, with the lovely roof terrace open to the kitchen for easy outdoor dining!  This is the real hub of this lovely house.

The kitchen is 3.5 x 4m and is fully fitted with a modern floor and wall cabinets, ceramic hob, electric oven and extractor fan, freestanding washing machine and fridge. It is a bright and sunny room with doors onto the beautiful roof terrace.

The roof terrace is 5.2 x 4m and offers stunning views over the village and mountains and down to the sea. On clear winter days, it is possible to see the mountains in North Africa.   The terrace has lighting, water and an electric supply, a barbecue and space for a drinks fridge, making this a quite idyllic place to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.  There is an automatic irrigation system fitted for watering plants on the terrace.

This property is perfect for comfortable full-time living, or as a fantastic lock-and-leave holiday home. The pictures look great, but it is even better in the flesh!  The village is not only very picturesque but is very friendly, with a perfect mix of Spanish locals and happily settled Europeans.

A nicely rebuilt 100m2 village house  on the outskirts of Viñuela village with good open spaces and plenty of light and could make an ideal ‘lock-and-leave’ holiday home at a very affordable price.

The house is located on the outskirts of La Viñuela village and is just a short walk to the centre.  There is easy parking here and it has the advantage of a bus stop just across the road.  The house has been completely rebuilt to modern standards.

The front door leads into an open plan hall and living area, with a living room to the right (4.5 x 3m), and a spacious kitchen to the left (4.5 x  4m), separated by the hallway area in the centre (4.5 x 2m) with downstairs WC beyond (2 x 1.5m).

The kitchen  is fully tiled with all electrics and plumbing in place ready to add the kitchen units and whitegoods to the taste of the owners.  There is plenty of light in this lovely open plan living area, and excellent quality floor and wall tiling throughout the house.  the windows are white aluminium with security blinds.

Stairs lead up to the first floor and landing.  Two bedrooms are at either end of this floor (3.5 x 3m and 3 x 2.5m).  Opposite is a third room which is big enough to add a single bed or could be used as a very useful storeroom (3.25 x 1m).  There is a bathroom with basin, WC and shower base on this floor and a small en-suite shower room serving the main bedroom.  Both bedrooms have excellent built-in wardrobes (exluded in the measurements above).

Stairs lead up to a very generous roof terrace (around 32m2).  The terrace has a sink and electricity and some lovely views.

Being sold at an excellent price, and reasonable offers will be considered.

A very nice house in a tiny hamlet in pretty countryside with a little garden and a very sunny roof terrace – fully restored.

The village of Rio Bermuza is spread around a sun-drenched hillside just North of the town of Velez-Malaga.  This cottage is located at the end of a little street of country cottages, (end of terrace) and there are no dirt tracks to reach it.

Located at the end of a short driveway, the house faces onto its own private plot of land (approx. 150m2) which consists of a flat grassy area which would make a lovely garden and it would not be difficult to  incorporate a splash pool here.  There are some lovely views of the hills and valley and below, for most of the year the sound of the bubbling river Bermuza is an added delight!  The water and the many trees attract a large variety of birds, so the sound of cheaping and birdsong, intermingled with the sound of water,  is ever present!

The house has double doors into the newly restored interior, entering first into a living room area (7 x 3m), with fully tiled, wired and plumbed kitchen area beyond (3 x 2.5m).  The kitchen units are not fitted, allowing the future owners to choose a kitchen to their own taste and style.  There is a downstairs bathroom with bath (2.5 x 2m).

Steps lead up to the first floor, where there are three bedrooms (all around 3 x 2.5m) with built-in wardrobes,  and a shower room.

Steps lead up again to a very generous roof terrace of around 33m2 with a sink and electricity, to allow for rooftop barbeques and cooking!

Opposite the house, along the little street, is a small ruined house which can be fully restored into a 2 bedroom house on two floors with roof terrace.  The current owner has a quote for the work which comes to around 45,000 Euros, allowing the possibility of creating a second living space, perhaps to let out to holiday makers, or for guests coming to stay.  (In the photos, look for the red steps, which is the entrance to the ruined cottage).  Alternatively, the second house could be renovated and then sold separately, fetching up to 80,000 Euros.

If your aim is to secure a simple, economic property in Spain, perhaps something you can quickly move into but offering a project such as the ruin, and the potential to make some income perhaps on holiday lets, then this property is one to consider.

Currently being used as a holiday home with a regular rental income, and therefore fully furnished and stocked, this 100m2 country house is ideal for a rental income, or as a beautiful permanent home in Spain.

Sold fully furnished and ready to enjoy or let, Casa Cumbre is a detached single storey villa, with high vaulted and beamed ceilings, wooden doors and traditional wooden window shutters. The kitchen is well equipped, with a cooker, microwave, fridge/freezer and a washing machine. There is a main bathroom off the hallway, complete with full-size bath, separate shower, toilet and basin.

The double bedroom has a king-size bed and an en-suite bathroom with shower, toilet and basin. The twin bedroom has two single beds. There is an additional room, currently furnished as an additional ‘Summer’ bedroom  for extra guests, which is accessed from outside, around the side of the house, with its own patio area. It also has its own sink. All bedrooms have wardrobes and storage drawers and the bathrooms have electric towel rail heaters.

There is an outside covered terrace with sun awnings and a cane table with four chairs. The secluded and private pool (6m x 4m) can be found down a few steps in landscaped, mature gardens. The pool is currently maintained on a weekly basis by a local company. The pool area is walled and gated and there is also a covered pergola to provide some shade if needed, complete with sunloungers, table and chairs. Part of the gardens are fenced and gated, including the driveway. There is ample parking available.

And the views are wonderful all around!

All the paperwork for this ideal country house is in order, and the house is currently bringing in a very reasonable rental income as a holiday home, being let out for an average of 16 to 20 weeks per annum. As such, it is well looked after and maintained. Accounts for the rental income are available for anyone who is seriously considering this property.

This property was withdrawn from the market by the owner, who has now decided to put it back on at an excellent price for a quick sale.

A homely, sunny and comfortable country house in a most beautiful and much sought-after location just a few minutes from the village, and surrounded by stunning views, with some excellent land and plenty of possibilities!

This attractive house (approx. 85m2) is located in a small cluster of country houses in one of the prettiest areas of inland Eastern Malaga, just a few minutes drive from one of the most beautiful and picturesque villages in the region.  The house has the added benefit of a completely separate garage (25m2) which could, should anyone wish, be converted into a separate annexe or rental unit to earn a little extra income to the new owners!

Nestled on the lower slopes of Mount Maroma (the highest peak in Malaga province) and within view of spectacular Lake Viñuela in the valley below, just 20 minutes from the coast, and 5 minutes from the lovely village of Canillas de Aceituno, this property is ideal for anyone wishing to have a country house to escape to and perhaps earn some income from excellent rental potential, or to live in on a permanent basis and even convert the garage into a separate unit for tourists or guests.  There is off road parking outside the garage, with a gated entrance, and a pedestrian gate takes you down some steps to the front garden with lovely pool (8 x 4m) and ample terraces and gardens with spectacular views of the valley and mountains.

There is a large covered terrace for outdoor eating, and from here, one enters the house via the sun lounge.  The sun lounge has an all-glass wall with glass that brings warmth into the room in the Winter and keeps out the heat in the Summer.  From here, one enters the main hall (3.25 x 2.25m) with a fully fitted, light and sunny kitchen through an archway to the right (3.5 x 2m).  To the left of the hallway, double doors lead into the comfortable living room (5 x 3m) with a quality wood burning stove for the Winter and lots of light from the front windows.

To the rear of the hallway are two double bedrooms, to left and right (both are around 3.5 x 3.5m) and centrally located bathroom (2 x 2.5m).

If a third bedroom is required, it is possible to close in half of the sun room.

The land with this property is varied and interesting.  To the rear, a very large flat area, which is part landscaped, at the far end of which is the garage and car parking area.  There are some steps down to a very pretty sun terrace where one can sit and contemplate some wonderful views, with a clear window on those spectacular Andalusian sunsets – every day!

And below, in a series of wide, flat, grassy, terraced levels, is some excellent land for growing all sorts of fruit and nut trees, vegetables and flower gardens.  It is a gardener’s idea of paradise, just waiting to be made productive and beautiful!

All the paperwork including the pool, is correct and the property is being sold at a competitive price for a quick sale.  This area tends to attract a higher price for quality, established properties and as such is a sound investment for the future, with easy, immediate rental potential.

A rare opportunity to buy an old cortijo or country house with good access, just 5 mins from Vélez-Malaga and 10 mins from the coast. This is a traditional country house that was originally two houses, but can be altered to make one large house.  The main section has been recently redecorated, but the whole house needs some renovating to make it into a home. It has some interesting original features such as beams, wooden shuttered windows and double wooden doors.  It might be ideal as a roadside B&B, and its proximity to the main A356 road and the old Trapiche road could prove an advantage for this.

This is a very large house, with a good number of rooms, which would make a 4 to 5 bed house with 2-3+ bathrooms with a lovely large, flat garden (around 3000m2). The house is all on one level and there is a walled courtyard with doorway out onto the land.  The road could be hidden by planting a pretty barrier of cyprus trees.

This property is within easy walking distance of El Trapiche village, which has a small shop and several bars and restaurants.  It is within 5 minutes drive from the town of Velez-Malaga, under 10 minutes from the coast, and within 30 minutes of Malaga city.  Great business potential.

A house in need of complete renovation, but at an excellent price – an opportunity to make a lovely house with private patio garden at a good price, just 15 minutes from the coast.

This very interesting house, previously withdrawn from the market and now for sale again, offers an excellent opportunity to achieve a good sized house with garden and terrace, in a quiet village in the tropical valley of Velez-Malaga, just a few minutes drive from the town of Vélez and 15 minutes from the coast.

The house is on two floors, both with access to the street, as it is on a hillside, on the outer rim of this little village.  At the moment it is very old and grubby inside, and needs complete renovation, but can quite easily be made into a 2 to 3 bedroom house with lovely terrace on the upper level and a nice patio garden on the lower level.  Rough diagram of layout available on request.  Being sold at an excellent price.

Triana village has a supermarket, a chemist, severals bar/restaurants, an infant school, medical centre, sports centre and open air public swimming pool.  In the middle of a sub-tropical valley surrounded by avocado, mango, mandarin and lemon trees, this area has an excellent climate all year round.

Malaga city/airport:  approx. 40 mins.

This amazing Andalusian cortijo brings together rustic tradition with modern sophistication, set in a rural paradise of spectacular countryside just half an hour from the coast.

A ride through the beautiful countryside, along a tarmac country lane, close to the rural hamlet of Rio Bermuza, set in the most outstanding, peaceful and natural countryside, brings you to this little piece of paradise.  The current owners bought the land and built their own, idyllic home.  The result is a rustic style, but extremely comfortable Andalusian home, spacious and light, beautifully designed and built.  The property is gated, with a gravel entrance, ample parking and a covered car port.

The 178m2 house is built entirely on one floor and consists of a hallway, from the covered front porch (2x2m), a most beautiful dining room (5.5 x 4.7m) with wood burner with patio doors to the gardens, open plan through to the living room (4.8 x 4.9m) with woodburner fireplace; study area (2.6 x 2.4m); fully fitted kitchen (4 x 2.7m) with a central island and quality units and equipment and door to the garden area; master bedroom (4.2 x 3m) with walk-in dressing – wardrobe room (2.4 x 2.5m) and en-suite bathroom; second bedroom (2.8 x 3.4m) with built in wardrobe; third bedroom (3 x 3.1m) with built in wardrobe; and a family bathroom in an L shape.

The gardens are most beautiful indeed!  Accessed via a garden gate from the parking area, from the kitchen door, or from the living room patio doors, there is a shady ‘garden room’, consisting of a covered terrace which for most of the year acts as a second living room, with garden sofas and tables (ideal for reading a book on Summer afternoons!)  A brick built barbeque completes this area.

Beyond this covered terrace, the main patio area, surrounded on all sides by carefully tended flowering shrubs and bushes, houses as its centrepiece a beautiful swimming pool with walk-in steps to one side.  Beyond that, a ‘secret garden’, and one which entices you over, drawn by the incredible views of a vast valley, flooded with light, and distant mists, and bathed every evening in the warm light of the lowering sun.  With such a view, it is only normal that the owners have built wide, low seating area, with built-in storage areas to hold tailor-made cushions, to enable one to fully contemplate and meditate over – and never grow bored of – this most beautiful view!

Walking back towards the garden gate, where the view of the house is most enchanting, three very neat kennels have been built, complete with a fully gated little run.  It would be very possible to offer kennel services at this property and these could be extended.

Through the gate, and back in the car park area, to the opposite side of the car port is a storage outbuilding.  Beyond that, a concrete slope leads down to the equestrian area.  Here are three spacious stables (each one 3 x 3m) and an open ended hay barn (4 x 7m).  In front of this is a paddock (24 x 5m) enclosed with electric fencing.  From here, a track leads down to the land below, where two further fenced paddocks can be found.  Here is also an exercise arena, or ‘manege’.  All of these facilities make this an excellent location for commercial stables, horse training or as an equestrian holiday attraction.  Alternatively, the stables might be converted into a guest apartment.

A little path, hidden away, also leads to some steps, taking you down to another area, a small grassy field where a young fruit tree orchard has been planted.

This property is in a fairly isolated spot, around 10 minutes’ drive from the nearest town with shops and amenities, but there are other houses dotted around, but none too close to this one, making it very private.  There are NO DIRT TRACKS to reach the property.

The house has electric panel heaters in most rooms, heated towel rails in the bathrooms and air conditioning in the living room and master bedroom.  Rustic features such as rustic floor tiling and beams, but double glazed, quality windows and doors.  Mains electrics and mains water are connected and there is a 10,000L water deposit to ensure a contant supply.
Council tax (IBI) approx. 600 Euros p.a.  House and pool built 2005, house registered on property registry since 2006.

An opportunity to finish a 3 bedroom, luxury house on a private plot, close to the coast, with its own water and mains electricity ready to connect, in glorious countryside just a short distance from the pretty village of Benamocarra.

The house has legal planning permission and to date has been built by the owner for his own family’s use, and not as a speculative project, using top quality materials throughout.  It is unusual, especially in this sought-after municipality which rarely offers country houses for sale, to find such a large and luxurious house for sale, at a point where the new owner is able to imprint his own style to finish the property to his own taste and requirements.

This house consists of a very large covered terrace with wonderful views, an entrance hall, very spacious living room which has huge double patio doors to let in maximum light, a dining room, a large kitchen with double patio doors, three double bedrooms, and two bathrooms, all on one floor.  Underneath (not counted within the square metres of the house) is an underbuild which is approximately 20m2, with windows, which could be used as storage space or, in the future, possibly as extra house space.  There is no upstairs in this house, although it does have a purely decorate feature of a little ‘tower’.

The plot, 6,000m2 of flat land, is planted with many avocado and fruit frees, has a pretty boundary wall all around, a large swimming pool (around 5.5 x 9m2), a brick built outbuilding which houses the private well, and pretty double entrance gates.

The property is accessed via a short dirt track (500m) which belongs to several neighbours for private use, and is under 1Km to the village.  The village has many amenities, such as shops of all types, bars and restaurants, two schools (infant/junior and senior), public swimming pool, sports centre and many local activities.  The provincial town of Velez-Malaga, with a population of 70,000, is just 5 minutes away, and the coast a further 5 minutes beyond.  There is a large shopping centre and leisure complex nearby, plus a water park, and lots of beautiful countryside to explore.

The owner has estimated that to finish the house entirely to top quality standards, a further investment of approximately 100,000 Euros would be required, although it could easily be achieved for less.  As this is a work-in-progress project, the vendor is selling the house with its full project and architects’ involvement, in order that the new owner is able to follow the build through to completion and registration.

Please note that this is one of two projects that this vendor is offering for sale.  The other project, next door, can be viewed on the link to property reference AX338.

Please note that this is one of two projects that this vendor is offering for sale.  The other project, next door, can be viewed on the link to property reference AX339.

A simply breathtaking rustic farmhouse beautifully renovated, part of which is a holiday let, perfect horse country, set in stunning unspoilt countryside, with Kms of wonderful riding tracks, and 850 productive olive trees for extra income.

Located some 25 minutes South of the beautiful city of Antequera, just 15 minutes from the village of Valle de Abdalajis and 15 minutes from the well known Guadalorce lakes (including famous El Chorro), this wonderful 200 year old farmhouse is ideal if you are looking for space, land, open countryside and total peace and privacy!

A very good all-year-round dirt track of 2Kms leads to the entrance to the estate, with a 400m private driveway bringing you through the pretty olive groves to the house.  There is a large gravel parking area, from where it is easy to access the house, hay barn, horse stables (room for two horses at present but could be extended), horse enclosures and menage area.

A beautiful central courtyard with a lovely pool and sunbathing terraces all around, has a shady pergola and a stone built barbeque which can be used all year round.   The pool is 9.5 x 4.5m with a 2.5m depth at one end, making it suitable for diving.

The cortijo is divided at the moment into two houses.  The first house, currently run as a successful holiday let business, is accessed from this area and consists of:

- double  patio doors lead  into a large living room (30m2) with fireplace, beamed sloping ceiling and large windows looking out to the countryside; to the left of the living room, a bedroom (8m2) with ensuite bathroom (5m2); at the far right hand end of the living room an arch leads into the fully fitted kitchen (10m2); from the kitchen, a very short passage to two further bedrooms (7m2 and 9m2) and a bathroom (4m2) with wet-room style shower.

The second house,  joined by one wall and which COULD be incorporated to make one single house, currently has its own garden, with garden gate making it very private and separate from the first house, and includes a very pretty little tiled, round splash pool, such that should the new owner wish to continue to offer the first house as a holiday let, the main pool can continue to be for the exclusive use of the Summer guests.  There is also a wonderful tiled dog kennel in its own enclosed area, lovingly referred to as “Barkingham Palace” by the current owners – it even has its own little terrace!  The second house consists of:

- entrance into a very attractive, fully fitted rustic style kitchen (14.5m2), with a bedroom off to the left (12m2), a living room (22.5m2) beyond the kitchen with fireplace and double patio doors onto the central courtyard patio and pool area, and beyond the living room, a spacious and extremely comfortable and attractive bathroom (8m2) with large cupboard for storage of linen (4m2).  Steps lead up to the second bedroom (14m2) with door to a lovely roof terrace (22m2) with wonderful country views all around.

Both houses are fully centrally heated with hot water radiators using solar panels to heat the water for both the domestic hot water and the central heating radiators, backed up by gas for when the sun goes down or for less sunny days.  There is large hot water tank to ensure a constant and plentiful supply of hot water.

Both houses are bursting with character, with beams, thick, stone walls, little wall alcoves, rustic finished plastering, rustic floor tiling, fireplaces, pretty blue-painted ‘rejas’ (traditional Andalusian window bars) and wonderful views from every window!  It is a light, sunny, happy place, one to be loved and treasured!

The land : for anyone seeking a large plot with productive and totally useable farmland, this is perfect!  All 70,000m2 of it stretches out around the farmhouse, with some 850 productive olive trees and plenty of space for further planting.  The countryside around the house is very varied, with a mixture of wild evergreens, mostly Holme Oaks from which the neighbour makes a wonderful honey, pines and many more varieties of trees, all of which attracts a vast array of wildlife.

This is the ideal property if you wish to work or live with horses.  La Grajala has two horses, Blue and Sienna, available for purchase at the time of publication.  Their paddock consists of a very large, flat area under the shade of around 10,000m2 of almond trees, with flexible electric fencing (easily moved from one place to another). There are mud floor stables for two horses (can be extended) and a large hay barn which holds 600 hay bales.   There is also a large fenced manege, (30 x 15m), ideal for learner riders and training.  The wonderful countryside invites you to explore on horseback or on foot – indeed, it is possible to ride out from the farm and not come across a tarmac road for an hour and a half!

The current owner earns an income from the rental of the first house and has an established clientelle.  This business could be further developed, to encompass activity holidays, some out of season, (the Summer season is  guaranteed!), such as riding, walking and trekking, painting and photography, wildlife watching, yoga, meditation, teaching, and so on.  This would provide valueable extra income outside the peak season.  And in the Winter, the olive harvest is there too, to booste the income!

This is not just a most wonderful property, it is a chance to create a whole new way of life, and all at a very reasonable price!  Scroll down for photos, and click on the first to view each fully, clicking each time on the Next button.

A comfortable and attractive country house, located in a quiet spot within an hour of Malaga and 20 mins to Villanueva de la Concepcion, with a wonderful, completely flat plot of land planted with many fruit trees.

This very nicely presented modern country house is located in the middle of some of the most beautiful countryside of inland Andalusia.  Situated within an hour of Malaga, and Antequera, this house is private and quiet, and, whilst being in a fairly secluded country location, is not totally alone as there are other houses dotted around, and all good, friendly people!

The property is fully fenced, and from the village of Pastelero and the town of Villanueva, there is no dirt track.  The house has double entrance gates leading to private parking area with pretty walls with orange trees peeking out from beyond!  There is tiled terracing all around the house and an open terrace with barbeque to the rear.  A covered porch area (3 x 2m) leads to the house front door.

Inside, the front door leads into a large living room (5.5 x 4m) with air conditioning unit and a small woodburning stove which could be replaced easily and at little expense with a prettier corner fireplace.  A wooden door with glass panelling leads into a spacious dining room (4 x 4m) with corner woodburning stove set into a fireplace.  From here, a door to the rear leads into the fully fitted kitchen (4.5 x 3m) which has a door to the rear terracing area of the house.

From the living room, an archway leads to the two bedrooms (3 x 3.5m each), a family bathroom (3 x 1.5m) and a large utility room (2.5 x 1.5m).  The utility room could easily be converted into a second bathroom or small third bedroom.

The land is very pretty indeed, with many trees including orange, peach, tangerine, ‘níspero’, pomegranite, figs, almonds and 20 olives trees.  There are sweet smelling rose trees, grapevines and 20 grape bushes.  Indeed, there is enough land here to grow all sorts of vegetables and even keep a few animals (there is a large chicken coup).  There is also a separate double garage (5 x 5m) which has a very high roof with a mezanine floor accessed via a ladder.

There is no pool, but one could easily be fitted.  The property is on mains water and electrics.  The house and garage are 15 years old.  There is also a 5000L water deposit with pump.

A great value property in true inland Andalusian, totally unspoilt countryside!

Located in a small cluster of old houses known as a ‘cortijada’, this house is detached and on its own plot, with private concrete drive, and being sold at an excellent price to allow money for full renovation.

The cottage stands on a plot os 5,500m2 of land, much of it sloping, but ideal for planting fruit trees on all its little terraces, down to the bubbling river in the valley below.  It is a lovely, peaceful and very natural valley, reached via a 3.5Km dirt track that meanders along the river on a good all-year-round track surface.

The private concrete drive leads down to one side of the cottage, with enough flat space around to make a lovely garden and front terrace.  The house consists of around 7 or 8 large rooms, and could be renovated to suit individual requirements.  As long as it is renovated (as opposed to knocking it down) there would be no problem obtaining planning permission.

It has its own well for water, a large water deposit and electricity.  For sale for a good price, to allow most people enough in the budget to renovate and convert this lovely house into a home!

The renovated house next door is also for sale (see AX334).

A very well presented village house in perfect condition with gardens and splash/jacussi pool in the little village of Triana, just a short drive from Vélez-Málaga and the coast.

This very nicely presented town house is located in the little village of Triana in the heart of the sub-tropical valley of Velez, amongst avocado, lemon and mango groves.

The house, located in a very quiet street set back from the centre, has a front terrace, setting the house away from the street.  The front door leads into a spacious living room with woodburner fireplace and air conditioning.  The separate kitchen (4 x 3m) is fully fitted and modern, with a dining room of 3 x 3.5m.  This dining room could easily be converted into a fourth bedroom if required, but as it is, with a sofa bed it could easily be used as extra sleeping accommodation.  There are three double bedrooms all around 3 x 4.5m, and a family bathroom with bath and shower.  There are slimline electric panel heaters in all rooms.

The rear garden consists of a very large patio area (around 10 x 6m) with lemon tree and a lovely corner jacussi splash pool.  Here, there are also two outbuildings, one being an outdoor-accessed bathroom, the other a store room.  Steps to one side lead up to a roof terrace (ideal for sunbathing and hanging out the washing!) of around 10.5 x 5.5m with a large roof store room accessed from this terrace.

This is an ideal family house, or for a couple who don’t wish to be hemmed in by the standard, very compact Spanish village houses, with the additional advantage of a private and spacious outdoor space.

A wonderful old cortijo with stunning sea, mountain and lake views, exquisitely converted into two beautiful homes

A unique country estate with 3 plot numbers (separately registered at the Land Register) on a total of 41,309 m2.  The cortijo can be bought with either 5300m2, (option A), or with the whole plot (option B).  Within the 5300m2 is the whole complex, some good, flat land and several terraces of land ready for planting, plus stables and a well.
The entire estate is terraced and with simply breathtaking sea views.  The finca is partially ecologically cultivated with more than 4000 Aloe Vera plants and there is plenty of land to further increase the crop, or to cultivate many types of fruit trees or for vineyards.

At the highest point of the finca there is an old cortijo farmhouse (more than 200 years old)  which has been converted in its entirety into two separate houses with a total of 288 m2.  The walled courtyard is more than 400m2 and has a wonderful salt water pool (3 x 10 meters), and this is an ideal place for private parties or meetings.

The houses are constructed in a traditional bioclimatic way (no need for air conditioning in Summer and the building captures the warmth in Winter).  The houses have been a reference for the architectural studies of Farfan Estella in Madrid, specialising in bioclimatic constructions.

From the property you have a beautiful view over nine villages (Vélez-Málaga, Torre del Mar, Caleta de Vélez, Triana, Benamocarra, Iznate, Cutar, Almachar and Comares) and of the Sierra Tejeda natural park and its dramatic Maroma peak, down to the Mediterranean sea.

Other existing constructions: stable 30 m2, utility room 12 m2+15 m2. There is an existing building permit to construct a house of 65 m2 with a maximum height of 5 meters.  The property also benefits from a water storage tank of 20,000 l. for irrigation and there are two spring water wells.

Other services: electricity 220 V and 380 V, the electricity line is underground, to ensure no cables spoil the view.  There is mains water for household use  in both houses.  Telephone service (benefiting from a cost of 0.01 €/min for international calls), high speed broadband internet (20MB), digital TV and satellite.

There are two ways to reach the property, both have part concrete and part dirt track roads although there is an approved plan to add to the asphalt on the Southern  access road to a point close to the cortijo.  Access is passable using an ordinary car all year round.

This amazing property might be an ideal location for easy conversion into tourist accommodation, for two families buying together, or for anyone wishing to live here and earn a little extra by letting the other cottage.

Situated within walking distance of the picturesque village of Almachar 10 minutes from Velez Malaga and15 -20 minutes from the beach at Torre Del Mar this lovely150m2 detached villa is easily accessed from the road and is a credit to the current owners.

This lovely house is  located in a peaceful valley near this pretty village and is both private and quiet.  The property is approached via a very short track (just a few metres) and through a private gateway with drive leading to a spacious parking area.  To one side, a higher level has 3 original raisin-drying beds, and would make an ideal location for a vegetable garden or fruit trees.   To the side of the house is a patio area with gateway to the back garden.  There is also a large garage to one side of the house which can also be accessed from within the house and would potentially make a third bedroom and bathroom.

The house consists of a lovely dining room, a very large, fully fitted kitchen with wood burner, and a large living room also with wood burner.  There are beamed ceilings in these rooms and a real ‘cottage’ atmosphere.  The bedrooms, one at each end of the house, are spacious and comfortable,  one with an ensuite shower room and the other has double doors to the back garden.  There is also a large family bathroom with large bath.

The back garden is lovely, with many plants and shrubs, a swimming pool and some lovely views of the distant mountains.  There is an outbuilding to the rear, ideal for storage, and beyond the garden fencing is a piece of  land, (a small field) once used for vineyards, which could quite easily be restored to their former glory, or the land could be used for fruit trees or keeping animals.

The property also benefits from an internet connection and satelite television.  A little work on the gardens would make this property very beautiful from every viewpoint!

With all paperwork in order, this is a great property and a complete bargain, priced by its owners for a fast sale!
