Villa for sale in Mojácar, Almería

Traditional Andalusian country villa with private pool, extensive gardens and tourist licence in Sopalmo, Mojácar. This traditional Andalusian country villa offers 202.46 m² of built area on a 727 m² plot laid out over two separate levels, which considerably widens the possibilities for both personal use and rental exploitation.

The upper level is occupied by the main house, surrounded by extensive landscaped outdoor areas, a private swimming pool and a fully equipped barbecue area designed to make the most of the south-eastern Spanish climate almost all year round. The property also benefits from a garage. Inside, a spacious lounge-diner is centred around a fireplace, while the separate American-style kitchen has its own dining area. Adjoining it is the utility room, with direct access to the exterior, where a practical guest cloakroom is located.

An internal staircase leads to the first floor, dedicated entirely to the sleeping quarters. The master bedroom features a private en-suite bathroom with shower and opens onto a large terrace with outstanding views over the surrounding mountains, the swimming pool and the gardens. Three further double bedrooms complete this floor, all of them exterior-facing and fitted with built-in wardrobes, alongside a second full bathroom with bathtub.

The lower level of the plot is one of the property’s most appealing features: an independent leisure area fitted out with two prefabricated wooden cabins. One is arranged as a bedroom with its own bathroom, and the other is equipped as a kitchen. Please note that these are timber-built structures without mechanical ventilation or air conditioning.

In terms of specifications, the villa has double-glazed aluminium exterior joinery and insect screens throughout. It is sold unfurnished. It has air conditioning (hot and cold) in the living room and master bedroom. There are ceiling fans in the bedrooms and window bars on the ground floor. The property is in acceptable condition, although it does require a modest investment to bring it fully up to date — an opportunity for the buyer to personalise the home to their own taste and add value in the process.

The key point for investors is that the property holds a registered tourist licence number, an increasingly scarce asset in this area. This allows it to be legally operated as a rural holiday rental, taking advantage of the strong demand Mojácar enjoys for much of the year, or alternatively to be used as a main residence or second home. Two clearly distinct routes to return on a single property.

Sopalmo offers the tranquillity of the Almerían countryside, with the Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park and the Sierra de Cabrera as a backdrop, just a short drive from Mojácar’s beaches, amenities and historic old town. It is a combination that is hard to find: privacy, nature, views and the coast within easy reach.
