Finca/Country House for sale in Purchena, Almería

A modern, one-bedroom Cortijo set on nearly 1,200 m² of land, featuring olive trees, an above-ground swimming pool, and a blank-canvas attic with conversion potential.

This gated property is located on the outskirts of Purchena and is accessible by car, although an SUV or 4x4 would be beneficial. The property benefits from a new solar system installed in October 2025, complete with lithium batteries. In the last week of January 2026, a broken kitchen window, along with the water heater, taps, and shower fittings, are being replaced.

Upon entering, you are welcomed into an open-plan lounge, living, and kitchen area, featuring a fireplace ideal for winter evenings. To the left side of the house are three rooms comprising the bedroom, bathroom, and a small utility room housing the solar system.

The attic spans the full length of the building and offers excellent potential for conversion, with plumbing conveniently located directly below in the bathroom. A staircase would need to be installed for ease of access. The space will also be cleared, as it is currently used for storage.

The grounds include several orange trees and 19 olive trees, offering plenty to keep you occupied, although the above-ground swimming pool provides the perfect alternative if pruning trees is not your preference.

Connected to mains water, although the water waste runs to a septic tank.
