Finca/Country House for sale in Riofrío, Loja, Granada

Beautiful finca with 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 3,000 m² enclosed gardens, and 400 m² workshops/stables. Pool and formal gardens. Located close to Riofrío on the border between Málaga and Granada provinces. Mains electricity and well water.

This incredible finca sits within an enclosed 3,000 m² plot on the border between Málaga and Granada, close to the town of Riofrío. Access is just off the main highway via a short, well-kept track that crosses a small stream, which forms the natural boundary between the two provinces. A two-minute drive reaches the main A92, with an easy commute to and from major airports and much of Andalucía.

The property consists of a two-storey detached farmhouse of 220.69 m², currently divided into two self-contained apartments.

On the ground floor there is a two double-bedroom apartment with an open-plan living/dining room. It has a large brick-built open fireplace, dual-aspect windows, and a neat kitchen. Off the living space is a short corridor leading to a shower room with WC, washbasin, and bidet, plus two double bedrooms. The first has natural light from a window overlooking the land by the bank of the stream. The second is slightly larger and is dual aspect, with windows overlooking the stream and the front patio and gardens.

An outdoor staircase leads to a terrace and to apartment two on the first floor. This apartment is larger, with three double bedrooms, all with windows overlooking the stream. The largest bedroom is also dual aspect, with a window overlooking the terrace and the pool area and gardens. This apartment includes a bathroom with full bath and shower over, a lounge/dining room with a feature wood burner, and a separate kitchen.

There is a large ground-floor covered terrace. At the end of this terrace is an attached building of 50 m², currently used for storage but with potential to be converted into additional accommodation, either independent of the two apartments or as an extension to the ground-floor apartment (subject to approvals).

The building and the ground-floor apartment back onto a raised, grassy terrace that could be formally made into a paved or tiled terrace, providing both with access to a sitting area overlooking the stream area.

Between the farmhouse and the huge garage/workshops/stables are gardens, shaded seating and games areas, including a covered dining area, table tennis, pool tables, and a racket-sport area with a concrete base marked as half a tennis court against a tall wall. Beyond this sports area to the east is a 400 m² long building with double garage doors into a garage area, a large workshop, and two former animal shelters previously used for mules and pigs. This long building has windows and doors into the gardens and also onto the land at the rear of the property.

Just inside the main double gates to the finca is a small building housing a shower room (6.35 m²) with sink and WC, serving the pool terrace, gardens, and sports areas. Next to this is the pool of 32.5 m² (roughly 8 x 4), bordered by wooden ranch-style pole fencing with a gate and a tiled sunbathing area all around. A small pool pump house is next to the pool area.

There are large rockeries, open grass areas with palm trees and herbs, plus wild flowers typical of the region. At the rear of the garden is a raised covered seating area overlooking a natural pond with natural vegetation and another lawned area with sunbeds for relaxation.

The property is connected to mains electricity and has two natural water wells supplying water to the whole property and the pool and gardens. Waste is managed by a modern septic tank. The potential to be a very luxurious private home or a home with a business is exceptional, and viewing is highly recommended. The property has previously been registered and formerly let as a holiday rental and is now offered for sale.
