Property Description

A simply glorious old cortijo, built in 1850 as an olive pressing station (lagar), now awaits a passionate renovator to complete its restoration and return it to its former glory. Nestled deep in the hills of the Montes de Málaga, this property offers a unique opportunity to create a bespoke country residence or a charming bed and breakfast for nature enthusiasts.

Location

Set along a well-maintained dirt track of approximately 4.7 kms, the cortijo is about 20 minutes from the town of Colmenar. Despite its secluded location, the cortijo has two neighboring country houses, ensuring a sense of community while maintaining privacy. A wall along the upper boundary of the property enhances its independence and seclusion.

The Land

The expansive 202,000m² plot features undulating terrain with various flat areas suitable for an orchard, vegetable patch, or other agricultural pursuits. The land descends into a picturesque valley and ascends the other side, dotted with olive and almond trees, carob, and oak trees, offering an ideal setting for walkers and nature lovers.

The Cortijo

This historic cortijo spans two spacious floors with high ceilings and beautiful wooden beams (some areas still needing completion). The ground floor comprises a vast room with original mill equipment and two deep, brick-built wells, which could be incorporated into the flooring with glass tops as unique features. There is also a rustic-style kitchen with access to a rear patio courtyard and an existing bathroom.

Upstairs, three bedrooms are located on one side, with a large, flexible space that can be divided according to individual requirements. Existing plans detail the potential for 5 bedrooms, each with an ensuite bathroom, making it perfect for a boutique guesthouse or a large family home.

Additional Features

• Sundial: An original sundial built into the corner of the outside wall adds to the property's historic charm.

• Ruined Building: A small ruined building beside the main cortijo offers potential for restoration into a separate apartment or workshop.

• Outdoor Space: The front garden includes an area suitable for a large above-ground pool, flush with the ground at one end, with ample space for a sunbathing terrace.

Potential and Opportunity

This cortijo is a blank canvas for the right buyer, offering endless possibilities to create a unique and charming residence. Whether you're looking to develop a rural guesthouse or a peaceful retreat in the Andalusian hills, this property provides the perfect foundation.
