7 Bedroom Cortijo for Sale

This exceptional and highly versatile residence, newly introduced to the market, boasts an impressive total build size of over 300m², inclusive of the pool house. Rich in character and thoughtfully renovated, this distinctive property has evolved from a thriving, top-rated rental business into a refined and welcoming family home. Every detail of the renovation has been carefully considered, successfully marrying traditional charm with modern-day comfort to create a residence of genuine quality and individuality.

The property enjoys a desirable setting, just a short 5-minute drive (approximately 3km) from a local tapas bar, with the well-serviced village of Arboleas within 15 minutes by car (11.5km). Positioned in an elevated location, the home benefits from far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside & mountains, all within a peaceful hamlet of similarly characterful properties that offer both a sense of community and privacy.

Designed with flexibility at its core, the layout lends itself effortlessly to multi-generational living or the creation of several independent guest accommodations. The property is presented in excellent condition, allowing a new owner to immediately enjoy the home or explore its income-generating potential.

Externally, there is off-road parking alongside a welcoming front terrace, ideal for relaxing and enjoying the outlook over a well-established, low-maintenance garden complete with mature trees and a calming water feature. A separate storage room, currently housing laundry facilities, adds further practicality.

A staircase from the terrace leads to a beautifully secluded pool area, where a generous 12 x 4.5m swimming pool takes centre stage, complemented by landscaped surroundings and ample space for entertaining or unwinding. Adjacent to this area is a substantial pool house or annexe of approximately 66m², comprising 2 double bedrooms with en-suite shower rooms, as well as a central bar and entertaining space, perfectly suited for guest accommodation or leisure use.

The main residence is equally well-appointed. Double doors open into an inviting hallway, with 2 double bedrooms positioned on either side, both enjoying direct access to the terrace. Beyond, a striking Moroccan-inspired lounge offers a bright and atmospheric living space. This level is further enhanced by a traditional shower room and staircase leading to the upper floor, and could function independently if desired. In addition, a self-contained 1 bedroom apartment with a separate entrance provides further accommodation, complete with kitchen, living/dining area, bathroom and the bedroom.

The upper floor continues the home’s impressive standard. A farmhouse kitchen, finished with distinctive Brazilian granite worktops, forms the heart of the space, accompanied by a dining area and feature open fireplace. This level also includes two further double bedrooms, a contemporary bathroom, a spacious main lounge with traditional fireplace, a reading room and an additional sitting area opening onto a terrace that captures the panoramic views.

Modern comforts have been carefully integrated throughout, including independent gas boilers on each level for hot water, full Wi-Fi coverage extending to the pool house and a drinking water filtration system installed in the main kitchen.

The nearby village of Arboleas provides a comprehensive range of amenities, including shops, medical services, cafés, and restaurants. The Mediterranean coastline is approximately 45 minutes away, while excellent transport links are available via the airports of Almeria, Murcia, and Alicante. Several well-regarded golf courses, including Valle del Este, Desert Springs, and Aguilón, are also within easy reach.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and adaptable property in a picturesque Andalusian setting, offering an exceptional lifestyle with the added benefit of flexible accommodation and potential income.
