Finca/Country House for sale in Almuñécar, Granada

The owners of this property were looking to be in contact with nature, silence and peace. At the foot of the Moscaril hill and near the picturesque coastal town of Almuñécar, they found this beautiful property which initially consisted of 2 cortijos.

This property can be used in different ways:
family home + guest apartment
live in the guest apartment and run a B&B in the main house

With an excellent vision on how to make improvements, they looked for a way to join the two houses together, without sacrificing their independence. In this way, the property can be seen as a single dwelling with multiple spaces or as two independent units, one of them constituting a guest apartment.

The charm of this place lies in the ideal balance between the typical Andalusian rural style and the right touch of modernity and comfort. The result is a property with spacious and luminous rooms where quality details, comfort and good taste abound. Furthermore, it offers the possibility of adapting the numerous rooms to personal needs and interests.

How to get there, the first impression and the exteriors

Leaving Almuñécar behind, a 5 km paved road winds its way through the valley to reach this oasis of tranquillity. As soon as one enters the cortijo, one can imagine a splendid view, given the south orientation of the property.

From the 2 entrances to the property, it is possible to park comfortably at the outdoor space. In addition, there is a covered parking space for 1 vehicle.

If one decides to enter through the main entrance of the property, one is attracted by the view that the terrace promises. And whether one enters through this portal or decides to walk around the house to the terrace, on both cases, the view is simply breathtaking. The valley opens up between winding paths, native plantations and houses until it embraces Almuñécar and the imposing sea.

The 250m² terrace is a permanent invitation to enjoy the good weather while contemplating the Mediterranean and the green surroundings. This space offers multiple corners for relaxation, space for barbecue, tables that invite you to have breakfast and share delicious meals, pleasant chats or reading a good book.

In the warmer months, it is possible to cool off in the circular swimming pool strategically located to enjoy the views.

Inwards

From this impressive terrace, you can enter the main unit. A small hall connects to a room currently used as a coffee room and bar, but which can be used for other purposes. Passing through this room one comes across a modern kitchen/dining room.

To the left, a guest toilet and then the master bedroom with en-suite bathroom with individual washbasins, shower and bathtub. It should be noted that this room is air-conditioned and has an air extraction system.

On the upper floor of the main unit, there is a large space currently used as an art studio but which could be transformed into a living room. From there it connects to a corridor leading to 3 further bedrooms and 1 bathroom.

Guest apartment

One can enter the guest apartment from the living room of the main unit or through a private door next to the pool. One the ground floor there is a typical Andalusian kitchen and bathroom. On the first floor, a spacious and bright bedroom with integrated living room. This room also has air conditioning. To maintain privacy, the door that connects the two cortijos can be kept closed. This second cortijo has a small storage room which could be adapted to other uses.

The total plot of land amounts to some 5.800 m², with some 400 m² of constructed area, 250 m² of terrace and a generous area planted with lemon, orange, almond trees and other native species. Although the current owners do not exploit it, the extension has great potential for those who want to make their own vegetable garden, transform it into a garden or produce their own olive oil with the olive trees that populate the land.
