Description
Investment opportunity.
A beautiful traditional Andalucian country estate with AFO.
Ideal for rural tourism. 700 m² build on a 30,000 m² urban plot.
Located on the edge of the historic town of Loja, in the most southerly area of Granada province. Set on a large private plot (no neighbours), secure and not overlooked.
This traditional 7-bedroom, 5-bathroom cortijo is in perfect habitable condition and has had further interior upgrades (2025). Adjoining the main property is a large caserio (farmhouse), ripe for renovation and offering potential for a further 4–5 bedrooms.
Conveniently positioned in a prominent area of Loja with tarmac access, a private driveway, and close to amenities. Enjoy town and mountain views from many bright, sunny rooms. Original Andalucian features throughout, including beamed vaulted ceilings and original flooring, preserved in excellent condition. Spacious 30 m² elegant bedrooms, with many pieces of authentic furniture remaining for the future owner.
The entrance opens to a large reception area/hallway with a sweeping marble staircase leading to the first floor and its many bedrooms with high ceilings and colonial-style windows.
On the ground floor: a traditional dining room, a spacious living area with plenty of natural light, an open fireplace in one corner, and an adjoining country-style kitchen. On the right: a well-maintained double bedroom with an en-suite shower room.
On the first floor: a hallway leading to the many spacious bedrooms and further bathrooms, beautifully preserved.
The turret features an attic “tower room” with high, beamed vaulted ceilings, accessed via a wooden staircase. The previous owner, a prominent local figure, used this space for writing and published books.
Additional information: there is an option to purchase a neighbouring flat plot of land (12,000 m²) belonging to the same owner, mostly grazing land, ideal for horses or an organic market garden.
The 2,700 m² plot sold with the property (as per the deeds) includes cobbled courtyards, patios, extensive garden areas, mature flowering shrubs, and fruit trees. The finca has its own natural water source to the rear, visible on site. Visible irrigation ducts connect to the irrigation system to keep the gardens lush.
The main house has been well conserved; the roof is structurally sound and requires no attention. The adjoining caserio has approximately 10 additional rooms and could comfortably create 5 bedrooms. There are extensive gardens to enjoy, and the front patio has mature vines and open views. A large detached storage building is also on the land.
Potential to create a rural tourism retreat. The adjoining caserio, although requiring renovation, offers scope for self-sufficiency and additional development. There is also space to design and build a pool of your choice on the large, flat urban plot.
Commuting to Málaga or Granada is easy: within 10 minutes you can access the A-92M motorway. Airports are around 20 minutes to Granada or about 1 hour to Málaga. The Sierra Nevada ski resort is about a 35-minute drive.
Mains services are connected, and fibre-optic internet could be installed. There is a private driveway of approximately 75 metres and the estate has an alarm. The deeds are in order, and the AFO is available to enable a mortgage.
Note: the price has recently increased due to the inclusion of a larger plot of protected urban land, where construction is not allowed; only vegetation may be planted.
Annual property tax (IBI): 425 €.
