Finca/Country House for sale in Sorbas, Almería

This charming cortijo has two bedrooms and one bathroom, situated in La Herrería, a small hamlet in the municipality of Sorbas, in the province of Almería.

La Herrería is situated in the south-eastern part of the municipal area, in a particularly attractive location due to its proximity to the A-7 and because it offers much easier access to Mojácar and the Levante Almeriense coast than the town centre of Sorbas itself. The area combines tranquillity, mountainous scenery and good transport links, with Mojácar and its beaches approximately 20 minutes’ drive away.

The property retains the simple, traditional character typical of this type of house and offers a practical, single-storey layout. It requires some improvements – mainly cosmetic – but has a solid foundation and great potential to become, with the right refurbishment, a particularly cosy home.

One of its main attractions is the private outdoor area. The access allows you to drive almost right up to the house and, once inside the property, there is a lovely terrace spread over two levels, with plants and various nooks and crannies that can be used to create relaxation areas, an outdoor dining area or small landscaped spaces.

On entering the house, we find a spacious living-dining room, which serves as the main room and a hub leading to the rest of the rooms. The living room also features a fireplace, creating a very cosy atmosphere during the cooler months.

This room leads to the separate kitchen, which is a good size and currently in good working order, and is furnished and equipped with everything needed for day-to-day use.

Next, we come to the fully fitted bathroom, equipped with a shower, washbasin and washing machine.

The property has two bedrooms, both situated on the left-hand side of the house. One of them is slightly larger than the other, but both offer enough space for a bed and some additional furniture. A fresh coat of paint, new finishes and a touch of redecoration would easily bring these rooms up to date whilst retaining the property’s original character.

The property has water and electricity supplies, as well as a sewerage system, as it is situated on land zoned for urban development. The Sorbas municipal development plan classifies La Herrería as a settlement zoned for urban development.

It also features a solar panel system for hot water production, supplemented by an electric heater for times when solar energy is insufficient.

The property is also in good legal order, a particularly important consideration for those looking for a property of this kind who wish to have greater peace of mind during the sale process.

The surroundings are another of the property’s major attractions. La Herrería is situated next to the Sorbas Gypsum Karst Natural Area, one of the most unique geological sites in the province of Almería, characterised by its gypsum formations, dry riverbeds and semi-desert landscape.

Its location, far from large urban centres and brightly lit areas, also allows visitors to enjoy particularly peaceful nights and very dark skies, creating ideal conditions for stargazing and enjoying the surroundings after sunset.

Despite this sense of tranquillity and connection with nature, the property is not isolated. Its proximity to the A-7 motorway provides easy access to Los Gallardos, Bédar, Turre, Mojácar and the beaches of the Levante Almeriense, allowing you to combine a peaceful lifestyle with the amenities, restaurants, shops and coastal areas of this part of Almería.

Given its features and price, this property represents an attractive opportunity for anyone looking for a house with character, outdoor space and potential for improvement, whether as a main residence, a second home or simply as a retreat where they can get away from the hustle and bustle and enjoy the natural surroundings.

With a renovation that is mainly cosmetic, this farmhouse could be transformed into a truly charming home, whilst retaining its traditional character and making the most of its lovely terrace, its location and the tranquillity of La Herrería.
