For many years, the Lecrín Valley has been an incredibly popular place among Hispanophiles seeking a traditional lifestyle in some of the greenest landscapes in the province of Granada: a microclimate that offers perfect conditions for growing orange trees. The aroma that fills the entire valley when the orange trees are in blossom is intoxicating and enchanting, and the views from high up in the wooded mountains are breathtaking.

This small, simple cortijo needs a change of use and an extension to turn it into a habitable country house, but the main highlight here is the land.

From the charming village of Restábal, a concrete road in very good condition winds gently up into the mountains overlooking the Lecrín Valley, passing orange groves, almond trees and olive groves before reaching the pine forests that shelter deer, mountain goats and wild boar. The views are incredible, taking in a wide stretch of the valley and, beyond it, Sierra Nevada. Although the valley itself may attract new residents and tourists all year round, this corner remains a well-kept secret and is absolutely peaceful.

The cortijo is a simple concrete structure with two rooms. To convert it into a dwelling, an application would have to be made to register the property as a home and extend the living space. It should be possible to build an upper floor, allowing for a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home with an attractive open-plan living-dining room on the ground floor opening onto a large terrace. The mountain trail leads to the property.

It is certainly worth asking at El Valle town hall what could be done with this plot, as this is an opportunity to acquire a very special corner of this beautiful area and create a charming home.
