A beautiful cortijo farmhouse in excellent condition with land, views and easy access – 25 minutes from the coast

Cortijo El Olivar has been kept in excellent condition by its owners, with improvements and repairs, making it a beautiful, typically Andalusian country house still with plenty of character, but retaining its truly rustic nature.

The cortijo sits on a plot of 8930m2, all of it useable and  planted with productive olive trees and some fruit trees.  A gated entrance leads up a concrete drive to the parking area, which could also be made into beautiful gardens or the location of a pool.

The house consists of 270m2* on two levels, including an outbuilding to one side of the house.  To the side of the house is a spacious patio terrace, perfect for outdoor living, with a little outbuilding to one side, currently used as a store room.

The house is on two floors.  On ground floor are 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, plus two living room areas with beautiful, original fireplaces and a country kitchen.  On the upper floor are two bedrooms, although upstairs could be easily converted into one bedroom and one dressing room and second bathroom.

Below the house are two outbuildings, incorporated into the structure of the house, one of which is perfect for a wine bodega.

The land beyond the house and gardens slopes up the hill and is planted with mature olive trees and a number of fruit trees.  There is plenty of space for extra planting and for growing vegetables and vineyards and for keeping animals.

Cortijo El Olivar is located 15 to 20 minutes from Velez-Malaga, and the coast is just 5 minutes beyond.  The picturesque mountain village of Canillas de Aceituno is just a 10 minute drive, with lovely restaurants and walking areas in stunning countryside.

The property is perfect for both permanent living, or to use as a holiday home.
