Friliggande hus · Ardales

Finca situated in this idyllic natural environment, with excellent access along a well maintained country track only 6km from the pueblo of Ardales.  It is less than 10kms and a short drive from the beautiful and very popular lakes at El Chorro/Caminito del Rey and less than an hour's drive from Málaga international airport, making it a great opportunity for conversion into a small B&B type establishment.The El Chorro area, (which has a train station connecting to Malaga) has recently become increasingly popular and there is now a huge demand for accommodation.  

Set within 100,000m² of organic almond and olive groves, the Cortijo style house and outbuildings (which extend to 608m² in total) have been very well maintained by the current owners, retaining lots of charming and traditional features.

The property, which has been owned by the same family for at least 4 generations, is built around a typical Andalucian courtyard.  The main farmhouse extends to 266 m² with accommodation distributed all on one level, offering 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms an Andalucian style kitchen with separate pantry and an amply sized lounge/dining room, which has a wood burning stove.  From here there is direct access out onto a beautiful 150m² private terrace which offers amazing, panoramic views across the Andalucian countryside.

In addition to the main house, there is a cottage and outbuildings which could easily be refurbished to provide several units of guest accommodation.  There is also a very large 69 m² garage/workshop with high ceiling, which would be an ideal communal area for house guests.

The estate extends over a wide expanse of Andalucian countryside with an area of approx 3,000m² surrounding the house, which has a variety of trees and shrubs and a very impressive kitchen garden, offering a great variety of fruit, vegetables and herbs.

Andalucia ,Seville, Cordoba and Granada are all within less than 2 hours drive making this an ideal tranquil place to return to following a day trip to any of these amazing cities.

The property is currently self sufficient in terms of energy with the installation of an efficient solar power system and a private well, which provides an abundance of water.

This is an opportunity to live the Andalucian dream!
