Finca Zahurdones, 2 houses on a productive mango plantation, El Trapiche, Velez-Malaga

Two country houses (one fully habitable and well presented) – 19,840m2 farm with productive mango plantation – wonderful views – 15 minutes from the coast

A spacious, 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom main house in good condition plus a second house to renovate on an incredible mango plantation providing a good annual income – perhaps an ideal opportunity to begin a new life!

This is one of several, well established, productive plantations located in the countryside of Trapiche (north of Velez-Malaga) within a private, gated location, accessed only by only four plantation owners with properties within the community, making it very safe and private.

The communal access gate (remote control operated), leads to a track that winds its way past several productive ‘fincas’, ending at Finca Arroyo de los Zuhardones.  Here, a private gate leads onto the land, with the main house immediately to the right and incredible, panoramic country and mountain views to the left.

Behind the main house is a large round water deposit holding around 200,000L supplied from two private wells and water from the Viñuela reservoir.  The finca has ample water from its wells, one of which also supplies water to the house.

The main house has a large terrace (40m2) which is ideal for outdoor living, and for enjoying the wonderful views.  The front door leads into a spacious living and dining room which is open plan to the kitchen, total space around 13 x 4m, with a corner fireplace.  A central arch to the rear leads to a short passage to the three spacious bedrooms (5 x 3.5m, 4 x 3.5m and 5 x 3m) and a large bathroom (4 x 3m).  Steps to the outside of the house lead up to a large roof terrace over the entire house, with fabulous views.

Next to the main house, about 20 metres away, is the second house and a barn, consisting of a number of rooms and store rooms, currently entirely used as storage of fruit and farm equipment, but with the potential to be converted into a second house (registered as a house).  The approximate size is around 134m2 on one level.

The rest of the property consists of around 3000 productive mango trees, currently producing around 50,000 Kgs of fruit per annum (yearly production varies).  There are also a few avocado trees, fig trees, caquis and lemon trees.

This beautiful property might be ideal for anyone looking to be in an isolated and private location, and yet near to the coast and ‘civilisation’, to start a new agricultural lifestyle and learn to become a mango farmer, perhaps combined with a separate rental cottage to rent to tourists enthusiastic to pull up their sleeves and help with mango picking in the Autumn.
