Some houses are simply a place to live. Others tell you something about the history of the place in which they stand.
This beautifully and sympathetically renovated cortijo with former barn undoubtedly belongs to the latter category.
The two cave rooms that form part of the property fit perfectly with the distinctive character and history of this special area.
Two living areas offering plenty of possibilities
The property effectively consists of two fully renovated living areas, each with its own bathroom.
The two sections are connected on the upper floor, but they can also be accessed independently from outside. For anyone wishing to create one large family home, the two sections could be connected even further.
This makes the property ideal as a spacious permanent home, but also for family members or guests who would appreciate having their own private accommodation. The layout could also be interesting for small-scale tourist accommodation or a B/Airbnb, subject of course to obtaining the necessary licences.
The property has a separate kitchen and dining area, two living rooms, several cosy seating and reading areas, four bedrooms and two bathrooms. In addition, there are two characteristic cave rooms.
The high ceilings with exposed wooden beams create a surprisingly spacious feeling, particularly on the upper floor. The combination of whitewashed walls, natural stone and traditional wooden features gives the house a warm, rustic character without making it feel dark or heavy.
Thoroughly renovated
During the renovation, attention was paid not only to preserving the original character of the property, but also to improving comfort.
Wooden double-glazed windows have been installed throughout the house, preserving its traditional appearance while providing improved comfort.
The property also has a small roof terrace, providing another pleasant place to sit outside and enjoy the rural surroundings.
The house is connected to the usual mains services, internet is possible and the property is ready to move into. The property has a septic tank.
Plenty of outdoor space
Beside the house is a fully walled and secure garden with sliding gates. There is plenty of space for, for example, an above-ground swimming pool, an outdoor kitchen, a large dining table and several seating areas.
The property also includes a garage and a separate garden next to the garage. These are located opposite the house.
Close to the reservoir and Huéscar
The San Clemente Reservoir is only around 4 kilometres away and is a beautiful area for walking, cycling and enjoying the outdoors.
The market town of Huéscar is approximately a 15-minute drive away and offers all everyday amenities, including supermarkets, shops, schools, bars and restaurants, sports facilities, medical services and a large weekly market.
Yet this still feels like the real inland Andalusia: no mass tourism, but mountains, open landscapes, small villages and, above all, plenty of peace and space.
A place with a special story
Canal de San Clemente owes its unusual history to the Canal de Carlos III, an ambitious 18th-century water project that was never completed. Traces of it can still be seen in the landscape today.
A characterful and surprisingly spacious home in a special historic setting, with the San Clemente Reservoir almost on the doorstep.
