Finca/Country House for sale in Orgiva, Granada

Stunning luxury cortijo

An absolutely stunning cortijo in typical Alpujarran style but designed and built in a modern, spacious way to the highest standards of workmanship and materials.

Set in a peaceful and completely tranquil environment just five minutes by car—or around twenty minutes on foot—from the centre of Órgiva, this exceptional cortijo combines traditional Alpujarran architecture with modern design and high-quality construction. Although it appears timeless, the property is less than twenty years old and was designed by a Swiss architect specifically for the family who have lived here ever since.

Built to exacting standards of workmanship and materials, it offers generous proportions and natural light—a deliberate contrast to the smaller rooms typical of many traditional Spanish cortijos. Órgiva, regarded as the capital of the Alpujarras, provides all essential services including schools, health centre, supermarkets, shops, cafés and restaurants, making this a practical as well as beautiful place to live.

Main house

The house is arranged on one level in an L-shape—carefully designed to preserve an old olive tree—and is divided into two distinct wings.

Reception wing
- Entrance hall with guest toilet
- Three steps down to an impressive main salon with open fireplace, large picture window framing the view and two sets of patio doors
- Dining room with patio doors opening onto the porch
- Farmhouse-style kitchen with central island, pantry and barn door to the outside
- Laundry room

The reception spaces are large, bright and comfortable, with central heating and air conditioning where required.

Bedroom wing

From the entrance hall, a corridor leads to the private areas of the house:
- A very spacious double bedroom with twin/double beds, sofa bed and writing area, with en-suite bathroom and built-in wardrobes
- A second substantial salon with open fireplace and patio doors
- Master bedroom with two sets of patio doors, extensive bathroom (bath and shower) with separate WC, and two dressing rooms

The two dressing rooms can function as additional bedrooms, and both have direct access to the master bathroom. The master bedroom is fitted with electric shutters operated from bedside switches. The entire house is presented in impeccable condition and ready to move into. Furniture may be available by separate negotiation.

Outdoor living & guest accommodation

Surrounding the house are paved walkways and a large covered porch adjoining the main salon, arranged with lounge and dining areas and space for children to play.

The property is accessed via electrically operated pedestrian and vehicular gates.

Inside, there is discreet parking for two cars to the left, along with a gravelled driveway area where additional vehicles can be accommodated if required.

A separate casita provides:
- Large garage
- Guest apartment with twin or double beds
- Lounge area
- Bathroom
- Wardrobe
- Compact kitchenette concealed behind slatted doors

Land & irrigation

The terraced grounds are planted mainly with olive trees, along with citrus and other fruit trees. There is also an extensive area formerly used as a vegetable garden.

The property benefits from mains services and irrigation rights, with water stored in a large underground tank and distributed via zoned irrigation control.

Access is straightforward, with asphalt road for most of the route and only the final 500 metres on good track.

Órgiva & the Alpujarras

Órgiva is the principal town of the Alpujarra region, offering a full range of everyday amenities including banks, pharmacies, weekly markets and a lively café culture.

The surrounding area is known for its dramatic mountain scenery, traditional white villages and extensive walking routes within the foothills of the Sierra Nevada. Granada city and the coast are both accessible within comfortable driving distance, allowing residents to enjoy both mountain and Mediterranean lifestyles.
