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

Charming 4-Bedroom Cortijo with Olive Grove and Rural Outbuildings near La Rábita, Jaén
A genuine Andalusian country home with land, character and space — a rare opportunity for those looking to enjoy authentic rural living in the olive-growing heart of Jaén.
Originally constructed in 1930 by the current family, this traditional 4-bedroom Cortijo has been lovingly improved and upgraded over the years, creating a comfortable and practical home while retaining its original rural charm.
Set within approximately 4,007 m² of olive land, the property offers direct access to its own olive grove, together with a large garage, poultry sheds and even a small traditional casita once used for a goat. For anyone dreaming of a more self-sufficient lifestyle, smallholding project or simply a peaceful home surrounded by countryside, this property offers plenty of possibilities.
The main entrance opens into a large front patio, beautifully shaded by an established grapevine — an ideal spot for outdoor dining, relaxing in the summer and enjoying the slower pace of country life.
Inside, the ground floor is centred around a generous lounge/diner, providing a warm and welcoming living space. To the right is a practical fitted kitchen, while behind the kitchen is a large double bedroom, making this level particularly convenient for guests, family members or single-level living.
To the left of the lounge is a recently refurbished shower room.
Stairs lead to the upper floor, where you will find three further spacious bedrooms, along with access to the property's sun terrace. From here, the views are a real highlight, stretching across your own olive grove and the surrounding Andalusian countryside.
Outside, the combination of land, outbuildings and traditional features gives the property the feel of a genuine working Cortijo rather than simply a country house.
The property is located near La Rábita, a traditional rural village belonging to the municipality of Alcalá la Real, in Jaén province. La Rábita lies at the foot of the Sierra de San Pedro, around 17 km from Alcalá la Real, and is surrounded by landscapes of olive groves, orchards and farmland. The village is unusual in that its wider area extends across the municipal boundaries of Alcalá la Real, Alcaudete and Priego de Córdoba.
Despite its peaceful countryside setting, La Rábita has a genuine local community and everyday amenities, including a health consultorio, local places to eat and a rural primary-school provision. The area is also known for its traditional olive-growing landscape and offers access to rural walking and cycling routes around the Sierra de San Pedro.
Alcalá la Real provides the wider range of shops, services and facilities expected from a larger town. Its historic centre is particularly attractive, dominated by the impressive Fortaleza de la Mota, a landmark that reflects the area's fascinating history as a frontier territory between Christian and Muslim kingdoms.
Properties like this are becoming increasingly difficult to find at an attractive price. A traditional Cortijo with four bedrooms, its own olive land, useful outbuildings, outdoor space and spectacular countryside views offers enormous lifestyle appeal.
Whether you are searching for a full-time rural home, a family retreat, a holiday property or a smallholding with land, this is a Cortijo with genuine character and plenty of potential.
