La Almazara, historic olive mill with noria in Oria

La Almazara is a truly unique property steeped in history, situated on the outskirts of the village of Oria and enjoying impressive open views across the valley.

This is a rare opportunity in the market. The main building retains the original machinery from the former olive oil press, including the original water wheel, or noria, which was once powered by water from the irrigation channels. It is an authentic property full of character and personality, ideal for someone looking for a distinctive project with its own identity.

The property is distributed over several levels. On the ground floor, the main entrance leads into a small additional room and the large space where the original olive press machinery is preserved, forming the historic heart of the property. There is also a cosy room with a fireplace and an old bathroom which is currently no longer in use.

The upper floor comprises a large open-plan room with direct access to a landscaped area above the property, offering interesting possibilities for redistribution and conversion into habitable accommodation.

Below the main building is a fascinating cave-like space where the original noria is still preserved. This remarkable feature gives the property considerable historic and architectural character.

The property also includes a second independent building with potential to be converted into additional accommodation, together with a large open area providing parking space. Both buildings are situated on urban land, offering interesting possibilities for further development, subject to the relevant permissions and planning requirements.

The approximately 1,500 m² plot includes a pleasant planting of fruit trees, creating a picturesque and private setting with considerable character.

La Almazara is not a conventional property or a home intended for immediate holiday use. It is a property for someone with vision, who can appreciate its historical importance and transform its original spaces and features into a truly unique residence or a distinctive project in the Almería countryside.

A remarkable historic property with a rare character and considerable potential to create something genuinely special.
