Finca - Cortijo 1 Bedroom in Almuñecar
Description
A unique opportunity to acquire a *cortijo* (country house) with established crops, located just a 10-minute drive from the center of Almuñécar and its beautiful beaches.
The building is currently a large, unfinished space with no interior walls, giving the buyer the freedom to design the floor plan to their own specifications. The house is pre-configured for water and electricity connections. Outside, there is a large terrace; by pruning the trees in front of it, one could reveal a lovely sea view.
The purchase includes water rights that provide more than enough water to maintain the crops. There is a large underground water cistern, as well as an open reservoir for collecting rainwater. There is no mains electricity connection; the best and most cost-effective way to supply power to the house is by installing solar panels.
The land is well-laid out across different levels and equipped with an irrigation system. It currently features 64 avocado trees, 23 mango trees, 14 citrus trees, and 556 cactus plants (prickly pear/Opuntia)—with room for even more.
The house was built in 2019, and the owner is currently in the process of registering the existing structures, including the water cistern.
It takes just over an hour to reach Málaga Airport by car, though there is also a regular bus service from Almuñécar. An 18-hole golf course is located in Salobreña, just a 30-minute drive away. In winter, it’s only a one-and-a-half-hour drive to Granada, where you can ski in the Sierra Nevada—the best of both worlds.
