Finca/Country House for sale in Alora, Málaga

Location! Location! Location! This traditional farmhouse is set within 23,000 m² of productive agricultural land and enjoys a great location right on the edge of Álora pueblo, within walking distance of all amenities. The total build size of the farmhouse is 214 m², with accommodation over 2 levels. The property does need substantial reformation but offers lots of potential, subject to building permissions, for transformation into a lovely 3 or 4-bedroom home in a semi-rural location.

The property hosts lots of traditional features, including thick stone walls and beamed ceilings. A particularly interesting feature is the antique “cascarero”, an open outbuilding traditionally used for drying crops. In this area of Andalucía, orange and lemon peels were dried on such structures for use in the perfume industry.

The garden area around the house, although currently in an abandoned state, offers great potential. It has a lovely southwesterly facing, ivy-covered terrace, providing soft shade in summer and an ideal spot to enjoy the wonderful sunsets in this part of southern Spain. The majority of the land is planted with mature olive trees, with also some carob trees. Access is via a tarmac road. The property is connected to mains electricity and drinking water and also benefits from irrigation water.
