Finca/Country House for sale in Almáchar, Málaga

Authentic Andalusian cortijo with exceptional renovation potential

Almáchar, Axarquía · Approximately 15 minutes from Riogordo · €299,000

Set amid the rolling countryside of the Axarquía, this characterful cortijo offers peace, open views and the opportunity to restore a traditional Andalusian property to your own taste. Surrounded by olive groves, it enjoys a rural setting approximately 15 minutes by car from Riogordo, with its shops, restaurants and everyday amenities.

The property requires complete renovation and comprises several interconnected building sections arranged over two floors. Its solid basic structure and generous spaces provide a starting point for creating a home with a flexible layout.

Many authentic features remain, including traditional timber beams, cane ceilings, old tiled and natural-stone floors, wooden doors, built-in niches and a characterful fireplace. A sheltered patio with a mature grapevine adds to its Andalusian charm.

Flexible layout and possibilities

The existing rooms offer scope for creating spacious living areas, bedrooms, bathrooms and workspaces. The upper floor could accommodate bedrooms or a guest area, while the former stables offer further potential for a studio, guest suites or other complementary spaces.

The property could become a substantial private residence, a home with guest accommodation, or a project for a small-scale B&B, retreats or workshops. Any change of use, renovation work, tourism or commercial activity is subject to the necessary licences and approvals.

Location and access

The final approximately 3.5 kilometres to the property are along a compacted country track, typical of this rural area. The setting will appeal to buyers seeking countryside living within driving distance of village amenities.

Water and electricity

The property has a water connection but is not currently connected to the public electricity grid.

Many rural homes in this area use independent electricity systems with solar panels, batteries and a backup generator. A complete installation is estimated at approximately €20,000, depending on the required capacity and future consumption. This installation is not included in the asking price and would be arranged and paid for by the buyer.

An off-grid system means no regular electricity bills from a utility supplier, although maintenance, future component replacement and generator fuel should be budgeted for.

Additional information

The property is sold as a complete renovation project. The ownership documentation is currently being updated following a recent inheritance division. Further details are available on request.

Some marketing images show renovation visualisations illustrating the property's potential. These are illustrative only and do not represent its current condition or works included in the sale.

A property for buyers seeking space, traditional character and the opportunity to create their own Andalusian countryside home.
