Description

Introducing a charming 3-bedroom cortijo nestled in the picturesque region of Alcaucín, Andalusia. With its traditional Andalusian charisma and a backdrop of the stunning Mount Maroma, this property presents a unique opportunity, especially for those willing to put a personal stamp on their next home. Priced at €140,000, this cortijo finds itself modestly awaiting some love and refurbishment to restore its vibrant hub of domestic life.

The house spreads over a generous 158 square meters, enveloped in a sprawling 6,000 square meter plot that boasts mature trees and rolling countryside landscapes. Despite its appealing rustic aesthetics typical of Andalusian architecture—characterized by decorative wooden beams and wooden frameworks—the property is fundamentally a fixer-upper. Over the years, some parts of the house have developed structural concerns, including noticeable cracks triggered by foundational issues, highlighting the need for comprehensive attention and renovation.

The internal arrangement comprises a cozy sitting area replete with a fireplace providing warmth during the cooler evenings. This space seamlessly flows into a dining area, presenting a perfect setup for family meals and entertaining guests. The kitchen maintains a rustic vibe with its bricked countertops and could be a delightful project to modernize while preserving its original charm. Three double bedrooms offer ample space for family living or hosting guests.

A unique feature is the old outdoor kitchen with a bread oven, preserved in its original rustic state, ideal for those who cherish traditional cooking methods or may look forward to reviving this quaint detail.

Living in Alcaucín exudes a blend of serene rural life and the vibrancy of Spanish culture. Positioned near the Parque Natural Sierras de Tejeda, Almijara y Alhama, the area offers an abundance of nature trails, hiking and panoramic views—ideal for outdoor enthusiasts. The local climate is a pleasant Mediterranean, with warm summers and mild, occasionally rainy, winters—a delightful environment for both full-time living and holiday stays.

The local community provides a welcoming atmosphere for expatriates and overseas buyers, with several amenities to ensure comfortable living. For families considering the move, the area offers engaging cultural experiences and practical day-to-day conveniences, including shops, restaurants, and schools, embodying a glimpse of authentic Spanish life away from the bustle of major cities.

Amenities include:
- Private pool
