This charming and characterful detached cortijo is nestled within a tranquil hamlet in the area of Saliente Alto. The property enjoys a serene rural setting while remaining convenient, located just a short 4.5 km drive from the nearest village with essential amenities including a bakery, traditional bar, municipal pool, school, medical centre, and local shop. The larger market town of Albox can be reached in approximately 20 minutes by car for supermarkets, banks, and a full range of everyday services.

The approach to the property is fully paved via tarmac and concrete roads, with only the final 200 metres consisting of a country track. Double wrought-iron gates open onto a generous 978 m² fully enclosed plot, where a concrete driveway leads inside, offering a single-car garage immediately to the right and ample space for additional parking ahead. The front of the house is dominated by a large, sun-drenched terrace featuring a triangular-shaped swimming pool with a depth of 1.8 metres, with an eco-friendly solar heating system. An adjacent covered terrace directly outside the lounge provides shaded outdoor space, while the right side of the villa features further terracing and an established grapevine. Behind the garage, a scenic pathway leads up the hillside to an elevated viewpoint and seating area with uninterrupted panoramic views of the surrounding countryside and mountain range.

Entering the home through a traditional wooden stable door, you are welcomed into an entrance hall. To the right is a first guest double bedroom, while directly opposite sits a second comfortable double bedroom equipped with air conditioning. Moving towards the rear of the ground floor, you will find a family bathroom and a fully fitted kitchen complete with a range of appliances and ample storage. The exceptionally spacious main living and dining area connects to the kitchen, centred around an attractive feature fireplace with a wood-burning insert and also benefiting from air conditioning. Double patio doors from the lounge open directly onto the covered front terrace.

An elegant marble staircase next to the kitchen ascends to the first floor. The hallway hosts a large cupboard providing excellent additional storage options. To the right is a second family bathroom, fitted with a full-sized bathtub. Dominating the entire front width of the upper floor is an exceptionally large third bedroom. Due to its impressive size, this room offers fantastic versatility and could easily accommodate a luxury walk-in dressing room as part of a grand master suite, serve as a spacious family room, or be split down the middle to effortlessly create an additional bedroom if required. There is a further double bedroom located on this floor.

Engineered for comfort and self-sufficiency, this country home benefits from mains electricity, a 200-litre solar hot water system with an electric backup heater, and a large brick-built aljibe (water deposit tank) fed by natural spring water.
