Finca/Country House for sale in Alcalá la Real, Jaén

Welcome to this beautiful and authentic Spanish cortijo, set in the peaceful Andalusian countryside near Las Grajeras, a small hamlet belonging to the municipality of Alcalá la Real. Here, the landscape is defined by rolling hills, endless olive groves and the mountains of La Subbética on the horizon.
As soon as you enter the property, two things immediately stand out: the peace and the authenticity. Several terraces have been created around the house, each offering its own atmosphere and views. This is a place where outdoor living comes naturally, with far-reaching views across the olive groves and the surrounding Andalusian countryside.
The entrance to the house is through a charming patio, where grapevines provide natural shade and create a wonderful place to spend long summer days. To the right, a staircase leads to an elevated terrace with a large swimming pool, where you can enjoy the sunshine, tranquillity and beautiful views in complete peace.
We enter the house directly into the living room, where the authentic character of the property has been carefully preserved. At the rear is a cosy bar – a great place to gather with family and friends, enjoy a glass of wine and share a few tapas.
To the left, we continue towards the dining room and kitchen. Throughout the property, much of the original charm and traditional Spanish country character has been retained. Stepping inside almost feels like taking a step back in time.
The property has been used as a holiday home for many years and has also been successfully rented out, while always being carefully maintained. There is certainly scope to modernise and adapt the house to contemporary tastes, but the foundations are good and, most importantly, its authentic character is already there.
Behind the kitchen is the bathroom with bathtub. Next to the dining room, a few steps lead down to a second living area, where the original flooring has been uncovered and brought back to life. Together with the wood-burning stove, this creates a particularly warm and characterful space.
On the first floor, beneath the beautiful exposed wooden roof structure, there are three bedrooms. The layout offers plenty of flexibility to arrange and use the rooms according to your own needs.
Living here means consciously choosing nature and tranquillity without being completely isolated. Alcalá la Real is approximately 10.5 km away and offers all the amenities needed for everyday life, including supermarkets, shops, restaurants, schools, medical services and sports facilities.
Closer to the property is La Rábita, where you can still experience the everyday rhythm of a traditional Spanish village – a place to stop for a drink, enjoy a tapa and become part of local life.
The location is also attractive for those who want to explore more of inland Andalusia. Granada is approximately 50 km from Alcalá la Real, while Jaén and Córdoba are also within easy reach. The beautiful town of Priego de Córdoba, together with the natural scenery and characteristic landscapes of La Subbética, is also within comfortable driving distance. The area is accessible via the N-432 and the local JA-4307.
The property is being sold by the same owner as our reference ALR2659CH. For those looking for an investment opportunity, this creates an interesting possibility: both properties can be purchased together and continued as holiday rental accommodation, building on their previous use as rental properties.
This is not a property for those looking for the hustle and bustle of the coast. It is a home for lovers of authentic inland Spain – for those who dream of waking up among the olive groves, who appreciate nature, space and silence, and who value the charm and individuality of a traditional Spanish home.
A characterful place where life moves at a slightly slower pace and where Andalusia still feels truly Andalusian.
