Finca/Country House for sale in Purchena, Almería

Discover a truly unique opportunity: a modern cortijo set in the heart of the countryside, offering peace, privacy, and stunning open views.

The property sits on an extensive plot of 35,369 m², planted with olive, almond, and a variety of fruit trees, making it ideal for those looking to enjoy a rural lifestyle, develop agricultural projects, or simply embrace nature.

Access to the property is via an automatic gate leading into a fenced area of approximately 1,600 m² surrounding the main house, designed for low-maintenance living with mainly gravelled grounds. The principal dwelling, a modern cortijo, offers a built area of 224 m² and is ready to move into.

Inside, a spacious entrance hall provides access to all rooms. To the right, double doors lead into a bright and spacious open-plan kitchen and dining area, fully equipped and designed for both comfort and functionality, complemented by a pellet burner. The property offers a total of four well-proportioned bedrooms, including a particularly large and bright room that could also serve as a second lounge or multi-purpose space.

There are two modern bathrooms: one family bathroom and one shower room, both finished with quality fittings. The home also features a comfortable living room with a fireplace and direct access to a covered terrace, perfect for enjoying the surrounding views. A garage provides ample space for a large vehicle and houses the hot water boiler and oil central heating system. Additional storage space is also available within the loft, accessed via a retractable ladder.

The property benefits from excellent natural light throughout and is surrounded by open countryside, enhancing the sense of space and tranquillity.

Outside, the covered terrace offers an ideal setting for outdoor dining and relaxation. The swimming pool is already constructed and requires renovation to bring it back into full use.

In addition to the main cortijo, the property includes several outbuildings offering significant potential, bringing the total constructed area across all buildings to approximately 444 m². A separate building of approximately 50–53 m², previously used for animals, is located away from the main house. Closer to the cortijo, there are two further buildings totalling approximately 88 m², which could be converted into independent guest accommodation or separate apartments. Materials are already available to assist with their completion, including new unpackaged windows and doors.

The land is fully usable and benefits from its own water supply, supported by two open water reservoirs, as well as mains electricity.

This property combines a comfortable, ready-to-move-into home with substantial potential for development, whether for guest accommodation, tourism, or multi-family use.
