Finca/Country House for sale in Alora, Málaga

A truly delightful Andalusian farmhouse dating from the 19th century with a current floor area exceeding 200m2. It is full of character and occupies a wonderful location between Álora and El Chorro, and just a short drive to the Caminito del Rey.

The property also has a separate high-quality 2 bedroom/2 bathroom single-storey dwelling of 110m2 with large open-plan living space, ideal for holiday letting or extended family use. This was built with a full project and all the construction is included in the Certificate of Primary Occupation. The property is also registered with the Junta de Andalucía as tourist accommodation having been inspected and given registration VTAR01267.

The property is accessed through high metal gates, giving both privacy and security, and the areas immediately around the house are paved or gravel to provide ample parking and for ease of maintenance. From a raised covered terrace, which has amazing views across the valley, the front door opens into a hall/snug area with a cosy reading corner. From here, through an opening that was originally the front door, the building opens into the main sitting room with ceiling beams, an original open fireplace and a high Jotul eco wood burner and over mantle. This room opens on to a dining room and a good-sized fully fitted kitchen and an adjoining large utility room. From the kitchen, the back door opens into an enclosed gated courtyard. From this there is access to a large room with arched doors and an en suite shower room. This lovely space with an air conditioning/heating unit can be used as an alternative reception room or a large bedroom.

The stairs in the main sitting room lead up to the master suite with a large bedroom, dressing room, en suite shower room and two balconies. On this floor there is also a double bedroom with beamed ceiling and an en suite shower room on this floor. This can also be accessed directly from stairs up from the courtyard. Both bedrooms have air conditioning/heating units.

The second property, built in 2004/2005, has spacious accommodation throughout. The large master bedroom has an en suite bathroom, and the twin room has a wet room adjacent. The open-plan, vaulted and beamed living space of approximately 50m2 has a large Hergom wood burner that provides vented heating to both bedrooms and bathrooms. The kitchen is traditional Andalusian in style and fitted with a full oven, dishwasher, etc.

To the rear of this property there is a long covered area, part of which is set up as an outside kitchen with water and power, a great space for any outside activities such as table tennis. Directly behind the master bedroom is a large covered storage area (approx. 14m x 4m).

Outside, there is an 8x4 pool in a gated paved area with a pergola. There are sun terraces and porches around the property. Paths lead up to the top terrace where there are wonderful views across the valley to the Torcal. The garden areas have been extensively planted with palms, yukka and other native shrubs, trees and flowers, all set up on an irrigation system.

The old house has an era to the front and faces north east, which gives lovely cool breezes in the summer evenings. The courtyard to the old house and the terrace for the new house face east to south and have lovely morning sun all year round.

The land on which the property sits has over 300 trees, giving a mix of mostly olive, with almond, pecan and some very old Holm Oak trees. Approximately 36,500m2 of land rises up behind the property, and there are lovely spots of flat land which would suit yurt or other non-permanent tourist-related structures. In addition, the property has a solar system which provides hot water to the house.

There is a further separate area of 30,000m2 flat land with excellent access, which can be developed for agricultural purposes.
