Finca/Country House for sale in Oria, Almería

A former olive mill with original water wheel, this is a truly unique and character-filled property located on the outskirts of Oria, enjoying spectacular open views across the valley.

Opportunities like this rarely come to market. The main building retains the original olive press machinery, including the historic water wheel that was once powered by irrigation channels. A property with authenticity, architectural interest and remarkable presence, ideal for those seeking a project with identity and heritage.

The accommodation is arranged over several levels. On the ground floor, the main entrance leads to a small additional room and the impressive open space that houses the original olive press, forming the historic heart of the building. There is also a cosy sitting room with fireplace and a former bathroom currently not in use.

Upstairs, a large open-plan room provides direct access to an elevated garden area, offering excellent potential for reconfiguration into comfortable living space.

Beneath the house, a distinctive cave-like lower level preserves the original water wheel, a rare historical feature that adds significant character and authenticity to the property.

In addition, there is a second independent building with scope to convert into a separate dwelling, together with a generous open area providing parking space. Both buildings are classified as urban land, increasing the development possibilities.

The plot extends to approximately 1,500 m² and includes a charming selection of fruit trees, creating a picturesque and private setting.

This is not a conventional holiday home. It is a property for buyers with vision – those who appreciate history and wish to transform a rare structure into a truly distinctive residence or creative project in the Almería countryside.

A historic gem with extraordinary potential.
