Carmen with exceptional outdoor space and garage in the heart of the Realejo.

Located on a quiet and picturesque street in the Realejo, just a short walk from the historic centre, this exceptional carmen combines space, privacy and historic character with rare features such as a garage, swimming pool and extensive gardens. It enjoys beautiful views over Granada and towards the Sierra Nevada. The property has two separate entrances, from the front and rear, and benefits from car access — a significant advantage in this part of the city. Importantly, the building is in very good structural condition, with no issues of damp.

The house
On the ground floor, a spacious entrance hall leads to a charming internal patio, a traditional cave space and the garage.

An impressive staircase leads to the first floor, where the main living accommodation is found. This level includes:
Large living and dining room with excellent views
Spacious, fully equipped traditional kitchen
Four bedrooms
Bathroom and separate WC

Storage room

The second floor offers additional accommodation with:
Five further bedrooms
Bathroom and separate WC
Living room
Laundry room
Office

On the top level, there is a large open-plan space currently used as an artist’s studio, enjoying panoramic views. From here there is access to three roof terraces.

Gardens, pool & outdoor spaces
The gardens are truly the standout feature of this property. Arranged across five different levels, they offer a variety of patios, terraces and quiet corners, creating a unique oasis in the heart of the city. The garden includes:
Large swimming pool with WC, shower and machinery room
Multiple patios and seating areas
Traditional water deposits (aljibes)
Fruit trees and mature planting
Water for the garden’s fountains comes directly from the historic Acequia Real de la Alhambra — a rare and valuable feature. The current owner has carefully developed the garden into a peaceful and atmospheric space, rich in character and closely connected to the history of the area. The sale also includes an adjacent plot of land.

The Realejo & surroundings
One of the most special aspects of this location is its direct proximity to the Alhambra. From the property, a beautiful 10-minute walk through atmospheric pedestrian streets leads straight into the Alhambra forest. The house also sits just below the Torres Bermejas, which are illuminated at night, creating a striking and ever-present historic backdrop. The property is also ideally located just moments from Campo del Príncipe, a lively and characterful square in the Realejo. The neighbourhood has a village-like feel, with everything needed for daily life within easy walking distance. Along nearby streets such as Calle Molinos and the surrounding area, you will find specialty coffee shops, fishmongers, supermarkets, a vet, bike shops and a wide selection of cafés, bars and restaurants. The Granada Cathedral is just a 7-minute walk away. Health centres, schools and all essential services are close at hand, making this a highly convenient yet atmospheric part of the city to live in.
