Villa for sale in Otura, Granada

Set within Cortijo de la Luz in Otura, this 570 m² Andalusian villa occupies a private 1,180 m² plot and combines traditional regional architecture with the comfort and technical specification of a fully renovated contemporary home.

Built in 2004 and comprehensively renovated in 2026, the property retains an unmistakably Andalusian character while introducing carefully selected materials, contemporary interiors and modern building systems. Its defining architectural feature is a spectacular central courtyard, conceived as the heart of the house and reminiscent in atmosphere of the courtyards of the Alhambra.

The house is arranged over three levels and designed around the relationship between the interior spaces and the courtyard. On the ground floor, the entrance hall leads towards the principal living area, where the sitting room, dining area and bespoke kitchen are arranged in direct relationship with the courtyard. The bedrooms on this level also open onto it. As a result, the principal living spaces and bedroom accommodation all enjoy a direct visual and physical connection with the courtyard, bringing natural light into the interiors and creating a strong sense of continuity between inside and out.

Upstairs, the principal suite has its own dressing room, bathroom and private terrace with views towards Sierra Nevada. The lower level provides a four-car garage, laundry, additional living and games areas, a further bedroom and the technical room. This additional space gives the house considerable flexibility for family life, guests, working from home and hobbies.

The exterior has been designed for everyday family life and entertaining. Mature gardens surround the property, with established trees and fruit trees, a private swimming pool, children's play area and a covered porch with an outdoor kitchen. The size and configuration of the plot allow different areas to be used throughout the day, from family meals and informal gatherings to quieter moments in the garden.

The renovation has been carried out throughout the property, with particular attention paid to materials and finishes. Macael marble, high-quality bathroom finishes and a bespoke, high-specification kitchen are complemented by Schüco window and door systems with double glazing. The property also benefits from underfloor heating, aerothermal heating and cooling, air conditioning and solar panels.

These systems provide the technical specification expected of a contemporary residence while preserving the architectural character of the original Andalusian design. Generous glazing allows natural light to reach the main living spaces, while the courtyard provides a private centre around which much of daily life takes place.

The property would particularly appeal to an international family seeking to establish a home in Granada, combining the space, privacy and outdoor living of a substantial contemporary residence with easy access to the city and its cultural and international educational environment. Its layout is especially well suited to family life, with generous areas for children, guests and independent working, while the separate levels provide a natural sense of privacy for different generations or visiting family members.

Located in Otura, the property offers a residential setting within easy reach of Granada, while also providing convenient access to Sierra Nevada, Spain's premier ski resort, and the Costa Tropical. This allows both mountain and Mediterranean lifestyles to be enjoyed without living directly in either environment. For international owners, good access to Granada's airport and the wider network of regional airports further enhances its appeal as a second residence.

The existing tourist rental licence provides an additional degree of flexibility, allowing owners to combine personal use with occasional rental income and potentially broadening the property's appeal to buyers considering both lifestyle and investment value.
