An exceptional opportunity to acquire a 290 acre working estate set in the most beautiful and historically interesting landscapes.

This is an exceptional opportunity to acquire a 290 acre (117 hectares) working estate set in some of southern Spain’s most beautiful and historically interesting landscapes.

2,500 m2 Built Area; a classic Cortijo styled around a central courtyard
117 Hectares of Farmland with stunning views

Additional, separate house for restoration (260 m2) with stunning views to the Sierra Nevada mountains
Gardens and swimming pool

Two large water deposits and fresh mountain spring

Potential future uses include, either separately or as a combination:

A Country House Hotel and Restaurant, unrivalled in this area
A vineyard producing exceptional wines
An Olive Farm
A hunting lodge
A stunning, private family home

The property, which consists of the main manor house, a separate property for restoration, a 14th Century Moorish watchtower, trenches remaining from the Spanish Civil War (1936 - 1939) and the farmland, can be used for many purposes. At present, the main income from the farm is from olives, and the estate has 6,119 trees producing an average of just under 60,000 litres of olive oil per annum. The estate is a member of La Socieded Coperativa Andaluza San Antonio and the olives are milled in nearby Ermita Nueva.

The estate also has a vineyard with Tempranillo and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes producing an excellent red wine (on average 1,000 litres per annum)  for the family’s own use. The vineyard side of the estate could easily be expanded and there is already a fully-equipped and modern bodega for wine production.

Finally, the property is a member of the Club Deportivo de Caza - Sociedad de Cazadores Tózar and Limones as a hunting estate, with rights to hunt small game such as hare, partridge and quail, as well as larger game such as wild boar.

The farming side of the property has been the recipient of heavy investment over the years and the structure of the Cortijo has been very well maintained. Any work that needs to be done to adapt the property to the requirements of the new owners is superficial. There is an extensive irrigation system and the two water deposits are connected to mains water supply as well as the property’s own fresh mountain spring.

The main manor house is unusual in this part of Andalucia as it follows the more traditional design of cortijos often found in the provinces of Córdoba and Sevilla. The house and outbuildings are built around a large central courtyard with an imposing entrance gate. The main accommodation is located in the two front sections of the property. The Casa Principal (158.50 m2) is very traditional in its design and style and it is here where the family accommodation is located. On the other side of the entrance gate, the Casa de los Guardas (125.5 m2) is currently used by the farm manager and consists of further, classical accommodation.

The remainder of the property around the courtyard consists of the Bodega for wine production, barns for the storing of farm machinery, stabling and other ancillary storage. There is a capacious cellar area. In front and to one side of the Casa Principal, there is a more formal garden area with a large swimming pool that is completely fenced.
