Finca/Country House for sale in Bérchules, Granada

Outstanding cortijo, very tranquil with separate casita

This tastefully reformed two-bedroom property with a separate casita is located within walking distance of the villages of Alcutar and Bérchules.

This tastefully renovated two-bedroom country house with a separate casita is located within walking distance of Alcutar and Bérchules. Set within approximately 8,000 m² of lush mountain terrain, the property enjoys spectacular valley views and a peaceful setting. The current owner has previously operated the main house as a successful holiday rental. Access is via road and track from Cádiar, and while the route is manageable, a 4x4 vehicle is advisable.

Main house

Metal gates open to a private driveway with parking directly beside the house. Recently refurbished to a high standard, the property retains many traditional features including slate roofs and exposed beamed ceilings. To the front is a tiled terrace with a generous, partly covered porch — an ideal space for outdoor dining and relaxation. The main entrance leads into a large open-plan living, dining and kitchen area. The kitchen is fitted with bespoke wooden wall and base units and modern appliances. The living and dining space features wooden flooring, high ceilings and a large wood-burning stove which also provides hot water for the central heating system. Traditional cast-iron radiators are installed throughout.

The accommodation includes:

Two very spacious double bedrooms. One bedroom with freestanding furniture. One bedroom with large fitted wardrobes and direct access to a sunny side terrace. Family bathroom with four-piece suite including bathtub with shower and tall radiator. Moorish-style light fittings and natural materials add character throughout.

Independent casita

A short distance from the main house stands the separate casita, finished in the same traditional style. It is arranged as an open-plan studio with an enclosed shower room. The main living space has high ceilings with slate and exposed beams, and a wood burner. Outside, a covered terrace enjoys beautiful views along the valley, making it ideal for guests or additional rental income.

Land and outdoor space

The land is particularly attractive and well maintained, planted with colourful flowers, shrubs and mature greenery. A series of terraces create multiple secluded seating areas, perfect for relaxing in privacy. There are fruit and olive trees, along with space for a vegetable garden. Both buildings benefit from recently fitted insulated roofs. Electricity is supplied by a combination of mains and solar, and mains water is connected.

The area

Alcutar and Bérchules form part of Alpujarra de la Sierra, a peaceful mountain municipality known for its traditional architecture and walking routes. Bérchules offers café-bars, small shops, a primary school, health centre and a municipal swimming pool in summer. The nearby town of Cádiar provides supermarkets, banks, secondary schooling and additional medical facilities. The Mediterranean coast can be reached in around an hour, while the historic city of Granada offers wider cultural, educational and transport connections.

A characterful mountain property with flexibility for family use or continued holiday letting in one of the Alpujarra’s most beautiful areas.
