Finca Carmelica, Canillas de Aceituno

2 bedrooms – 2 bathrooms – large outbuilding – store room – 16,246m2 land

A traditional, rustic style semi detached country house one one level, 74m2, with an 80m2 outbuilding, store room of 18m2 and chicken run, set on a large plot of land.

Set in true, rural countryside, this original little cottage dating from 1960 or earlier, is perfect for anyone seeking a small, truly traditional little cortijo in the country, and yet within half an hour of the coast at Torre del Mar.

There is no dirt track to reach Finca Carmelica, with excellent access, albeit in the remote hills to the South West of Canillas de Aceituno.  The house is attached to another, with very good local neighbours.  This is true, Andalusian country living.

Steps from the driveway lead into a courtyard area or patio, which is very pretty as it is, but could be made very attractive with very little effort. To the far right of the courtyard is a door into an outside kitchen or utility room (around 2.5 x 3m) and an outside bathroom (2 x 1m).  Also from the courtyard, straight ahead, the main house front door leads into a large kitchen/dining area of around 5.5 x 3m with a traditional fireplace at the far end on the right.  Beyond, to the left hand side, is an original staircase leading to an upstairs bedroom with sloping ceiling and beams (6 x 3m).  Continuing on downstairs, beyond the staircase, is a large living room (6 x 3m) with double doors out to the patio.  From the living room is also access to the second (downstairs) bedroom (5 x 3m including a small partition area where a single bed currently stands, but this wall can be taken down) with a bathroom at the far end (3 x 2m).

The outside kitchen/utility area could potentially be incorporated to the rest of the interior of the house.

On the opposite end of the patio area, to the far left, is the store room (around 3 x 2.5m) with a chicken house and a run next door.

Further away from the house, on the land, is a large barn, of around 80m2 which has the potential for conversion.  The land is unused at the moment, but could be made into simple gardens or to plant trees, grow an orchard, etc.

This is for anyone looking for true, simple, Spanish rural living, in lovely, traditional Andalusian countryside, far away from the crowds, and yet within an easy half an hour from the coast.
