Cortijo Los Olivos — Historic Mountain Retreat with Rental Licence, Extensive Land & Off-Grid Infrastructure

A unique opportunity to acquire a beautifully restored historic cortijo currently operating with a rental licence and accommodating groups, set in approximately 52,200 m2 of spectacular mountain countryside in the Lecrín Valley, Granada.

Cortijo Los Olivos combines history, scale, privacy and an extraordinary natural setting with the infrastructure required for independent living.
Originally built in 1865, the property was completely restored in 2010, retaining the footprint and character of the original cortijo while creating a substantial hacienda-style property arranged around a peaceful central courtyard.

With approximately 700 m2 of built accommodation, the property currently provides 9 guest bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, together with a separate two-bedroom private apartment. The layout and communal spaces were specifically designed to accommodate groups and retreats, and the property currently operates with a rental licence.

**The Main Accommodation**
The ground floor is arranged around the impressive central courtyard, creating a welcoming and private heart to the property. The guest accommodation includes nine bedrooms, each with its own ensuite
bathroom, with two of the bedrooms also incorporating mezzanine areas. The property has been designed to provide generous communal spaces including:
● Large guest living room with wood-burning stove
● Large dining room
● Kitchen with access to the front terrace
● Office
● Private chapel
● Separate WC and utility room
● Numerous storage and service areas
● Central courtyard and extensive terraces

Large glazed openings bring natural light into the principal living areas and create a strong connection between the interior spaces and the courtyard.

**Private Apartment**
A spiral staircase leads from the entrance hall to the approximately 200 m2 private first-floor apartment, which can also be accessed independently from the rear of the property.
The apartment includes:
● Large open-plan living room and kitchen
● Two bedrooms
● Bathroom
● Conservatory / winter living area
● Large private roof terrace
● Independent access
The apartment provides a separate private living space for owners, managers or guests, depending on the intended use.

**Outdoor Areas & Land**
The property sits within approximately 52,200 m2 of land, following the natural contours of the mountainside.
The grounds include approximately 300 olive trees and 300 almond trees, together with extensive terraces, parking and additional outdoor areas.
A 70 m2 swimming pool is positioned on one of the main terraces, providing an ideal area for guests to relax and enjoy the spectacular surroundings.

**Sophisticated Off-Grid Infrastructure**
One of the defining characteristics of Cortijo Los Olivos is its extensive independent infrastructure. The property has been designed to operate largely off-grid and includes:
● 16 photovoltaic panels for electricity generation
● 10 solar panels for hot water
● Backup generator
● 100,000-litre spring-fed water tank
● Underfloor heating
● Log burners in the principal rooms

A detailed technical manual relating to the property's systems is available.
A Property Designed for Retreats & Groups
Cortijo Los Olivos was restored with the specific intention of creating an holistic retreat centre, and the design reflects this throughout.
The combination of numerous ensuite bedrooms, generous communal spaces, private accommodation, terraces, swimming pool, extensive grounds and independent infrastructure makes the property particularly suited to continued use for retreats, group accommodation, rural tourism or other hospitality concepts, subject to the relevant permissions.
It also offers the possibility of creating a substantial private mountain estate for someone looking for an unusual property with considerable space and privacy.

**Location**
The property occupies a wonderfully secluded position in the mountains of the Lecrín Valley, beneath Cerro del Caballo, one of the prominent peaks of the
Sierra Nevada. The seclusion is an important part of its appeal. Access is via a long mountain track, most of which is well surfaced, with the upper section becoming more
rugged.

Despite its peaceful and remote setting, the property is within reach of local amenities:
Lecrín Valley villages: approximately 5 km
Granada city: approximately 40 km
Mediterranean coast: approximately 40 km
Málaga: approximately 125 km

This is a property for those looking for space, privacy and a genuine connection with the landscape — while also offering an established basis for group accommodation and retreat use.

Cortijo Los Olivos is not simply a country house. It is a substantial historic Andalusian property with an existing hospitality use, extensive land and sophisticated independent infrastructure, in a setting that is exceptionally difficult to replicate.
