Characterful 6-Bedroom Cortijo with Extensive Grounds near Iznájar, Córdoba
Set in the peaceful countryside of El Jaramillo, close to Iznájar and the beautiful Iznájar Reservoir, this substantial detached 6-bedroom, 3-bathroom Cortijo offers space, privacy and plenty of traditional Andalusian character. Set within an impressive 1,704m² plot, the property provides 236m² of built accommodation, complemented by patios, gardens, mature planting, storage areas and former animal pens.
With good road access and generous outdoor space, this is a property with enormous potential as a permanent family home, rural retreat, holiday home or countryside accommodation, subject of course to any necessary permissions.
A Cortijo Made for Country Living
The house is approached via a large shaded front patio, creating a welcoming outdoor entrance and a lovely place to sit and enjoy the tranquillity of the surrounding countryside.
Entering the property, you arrive in a spacious reception room with distinct seating and dining areas, creating a comfortable central hub for family life and entertaining.
On the ground floor, to the left, there is a double bedroom with its own ensuite shower room, while a few steps lead to a further twin bedroom.
A staircase from the reception room takes you to the first floor, where the accommodation continues with excellent flexibility. There is another bedroom to the left and, to the right, a large landing currently arranged with seating and a bed. From here you access a bathroom and a further three double bedrooms, giving the property a total of six bedrooms.
Back on the ground floor and off the reception room is the fitted kitchen, together with a doorway leading down to the lower-ground floor.
This level adds yet more useful space, including a third shower room, laundry room, large pantry, storage areas and the sixth bedroom, currently arranged as a twin room.
From the laundry room, there is direct access to the rear patio areas. Here you will find a large storage room and a traditional courtyard containing a number of old animal pens, adding further character and offering scope for future use or renovation.
Extensive Gardens and Outdoor Space
Outside, the property really comes into its own. A network of walkways winds through the extensive gardens and grounds, where mature trees and established planting provide shade, privacy and a wonderful sense of space.
An irrigation system supplied by well water available on the property provides an important practical feature for maintaining the grounds and gardens.
There is plenty of room here for creating different outdoor areas — from secluded seating and dining spaces to gardens, recreation areas or additional landscaping — while retaining the traditional atmosphere of an Andalusian country estate.
The Setting – El Jaramillo and Iznájar
El Jaramillo, officially referred to locally as the Aldea de El Jaramillo, is an extensive rural area in the northern part of the municipality of Iznájar. The landscape is characterised by scattered country houses and cortijos set amongst olive groves and the foothills of the Subbética mountains, with the area crossed by the Solerche stream and surrounded by a varied rural ecosystem.
Nearby Iznájar is one of the distinctive white villages of the Córdoba countryside, dramatically positioned on a hill overlooking the Iznájar Reservoir, often known as the "Lake of Andalusia.” The local tourism authority highlights its historic La Villa quarter, Arab-origin castle, viewpoints and access to activities including walking, cycling and water sports around the reservoir.
The combination of traditional countryside, olive-covered hills, the reservoir and the historic village makes this an appealing location for anyone looking for an authentic slice of inland Andalucía, away from the busier coastal resorts but within reach of the amenities and attractions of Iznájar.
