Finca/Country House for sale in Riogordo, Málaga

Set in one of the most exclusive locations around Riogordo, this exceptional country estate comprises two independent residences and a swimming pool, all set within a magnificent plot of more than 23,000 m². A property distinguished by absolute privacy, breathtaking panoramic views, and a unique combination of character, comfort, and contemporary luxury.

To the south, the estate enjoys sweeping views across the valley towards the Mediterranean Sea, while to the north, Riogordo’s distinctive mountain formations create a dramatic natural backdrop. Despite its peaceful and private setting, the property is exceptionally well connected: the village is just ten minutes away, with fully asphalted road access all the way to the property. The coast can be reached in approximately 35 minutes, while Málaga city and its international airport are around 45 minutes away.

An automatic entrance gate opens onto an impressive driveway lined with cypress trees. The estate comprises a beautifully renovated traditional cortijo and an architect-designed contemporary villa. Both properties are separately registered with the Catastro and have independent water and electricity supplies, allowing them to function entirely independently from one another.

The two residences are connected by a beautifully established mature garden with winding pathways, lush Mediterranean planting, and an impressive swimming pool. Palm trees, a variety of fruit trees, and a small private vineyard further enhance the unique character of the estate. Approximately 100 olive and almond trees are spread throughout the grounds, adding to the authentic Andalusian atmosphere.

The estate is also particularly well equipped in terms of water supply. Riogordo benefits from a reliable mains water supply, an important advantage in a region where water availability cannot always be taken for granted. In addition, the property has rainwater storage tanks with a total capacity of approximately 70,000 litres.

Both residences also have a DAFO and are fully regularised, providing additional legal certainty and peace of mind.

The layout of the estate offers a wide range of possibilities. It is perfectly suited as a luxurious private residence with completely separate guest accommodation for family and friends, while also offering potential for a small boutique B&B, exclusive holiday rentals, or a combination of private living and guest accommodation. The estate also offers good accessibility for people with reduced mobility, a particularly rare feature for a rural property in the Andalusian countryside.

The original cortijo has been renovated with great respect for its authentic character and offers three bedrooms and three bathrooms, two of which are en suite. There is also an additional room, ideal as a children’s bedroom, single guest room, office, or hobby room. The spacious kitchen connects directly to the open-plan living and dining area.

The original thick natural stone walls preserve the authentic character of the property while providing natural insulation and a pleasant indoor climate. Carefully constructed extensions incorporating roof insulation and cavity walls further enhance comfort and energy efficiency without compromising the architecture. Tropical hardwood window frames with double glazing provide excellent thermal and acoustic performance while remaining perfectly in keeping with the rustic character of the property. Several terraces surrounding the house offer a different perspective of the landscape at every turn. The cortijo has an energy rating of C.

The contemporary villa combines modern architecture with an exceptional A energy rating, something rarely found in a detached home in the Andalusian countryside. This makes it particularly appealing to those who value sustainability and energy efficiency alongside architecture, design, and comfort.

Thanks to its open-plan design and floor-to-ceiling windows, every space has a direct connection with the surrounding landscape and spectacular views. The villa is equipped with triple-glazed safety glass, energy-efficient underfloor heating powered by a heat pump, and air conditioning throughout. It offers a generous master suite with bathroom and workspace, a guest bedroom with its own shower and washbasin, a separate guest WC, and a high-quality kitchen opening onto the spacious living area with a wood-burning stove. Here too, several terraces invite you to make the most of the outdoor lifestyle.

Properties of this calibre rarely come onto the market. The combination of two high-quality residences, extensive and beautifully maintained private grounds, exceptional privacy, excellent accessibility, and some of the finest views in the area makes this estate a unique opportunity for anyone seeking an exclusive home or investment property in Andalusia.
