Finca/Country House for sale in Alora, Málaga

This amazing property was run for more than 15 years as a rescue by a lady who dedicated her life to dogs. Sadly, she is no longer with us, and the property is now for sale at a price below its true value.

The reason? Firstly, it is a mass of kennels and runs, all of which need clearing. Secondly, parts of the property need to be formally legalised; it’s not a problem, but time is needed. Thirdly, it has riverbed access, which some people find a drawback, although there is also a longer route over the mountain.

The majestic main house has 4 en-suite bedrooms and two further en-suite rooms in a very attractive courtyard. It easily divides into two separate properties, if desired, with both units having a kitchen and living room. Then, separate from the main house, there is a two-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment. In total, it offers 7 bedrooms.

The land is amazing, almost 40,000 sqm, much of it flat, with a pool complex including a toilet and sauna, all in need of attention. The land is planted with many citrus trees, all neglected for many years—the dogs came first.

The house has mains electricity, and previously had well water, but the well was effectively destroyed when the river flooded. At present, water is supplied to deposits on the land, which hold over 30,000 litres.

There are full details of the works—both physical and legal—that need to be done. The goal is to secure a sale as quickly as possible.

Once returned to its original glory, it could be a property worth 500,000 euros or more, so it’s suited to a buyer with patience and imagination who can look beyond the current “doggy” state and see the immense potential.
